Very interesting article. I missed the part about where it said the
vaccine
makers were lobbying against vaccine exemptions, which was Roger's
original
claim, though. (Lobbying for mandatory vaccines is a different issue.)

sigh I posted it in response to your statement, "I don't know (whether
drug companies are for or against the vaccine mandates)." Vaccine
manufacturers clearly DO lobby state legislators when it comes to adding
their vaccines to the lists of vaccines states require for school entry;
it's probable, IMO, that they also do some lobbying if/when there's an
effort to expand the exemptions a state offers (e.g., when a proposal to
add a "philosophical" exemption is raised).

It may indeed be that they do this. However, Roger simply assured us
that it was true, rather than being truthful and telling us that it
was merely his opinion.

I'm neither surprised nor particularly disturbed that vaccine makers
lobby for the adoption of their vaccines, no more so than I am over
the makers of any other product lobbying for themselves.
