I'd like to see some evidence of this. I doubt any will be
forthcoming, however.

I'll do some checking regarding the pharmas, but it's undeniable that
medial associations are working to see religious and philosophical
exemptions removed:

H-440.970 Religious Exemptions from Immunizations.




Since religious/philosophic exemptions from immunizations endanger
not only the health of the unvaccinated individual, but also the health
of those in his or her group and the community at large, the AMA (1)
encourages state medical associations to seek removal of such exemptions
in statutes requiring mandatory immunizations; (2) ....

That's the AMA, JG. I was looking for something coming from, let's
say, Merck. And please don't respond that the AMA is merely acting in
the service of the drug companies unless you have evidence.


Yes, David.... What part of "I'll do some checking regarding the
pharmas, but it's undeniable that medial associations are working to see
religious and philosophical exemptions removed" didn't you understand?

I was thinking more in terms of Roger's original accusations. If
you're going to go changing the subject, you're going to have to
expect to be misunderstood.

Are you doubting that Merck lobbies for removing those vaccine
exemptions? Do you think the Merck lobbies for expanding those
exemptions? If you have some contrary info or opinions, go ahead
and post them.

Sorry, Rog - You made the accusation and so the burden of proof rests with
you.

I have no reason to believe that they do.

Ah, the old Schlafly shift-the-burden-of-proof dodge.

Roger's claim was that the "drug lobby" was doing this.

Another failure of Roger to provide evidence for his claim.
