First off, the idea the Democrats care about the "little people" is completely obliterated here. Henry Waxman, Donna Shalala, and MORE. They can all go to hell at the damaged they imposed on American children.
Secondly, I've been off the MMR bandwagon for a number of years. But had no idea the risk DPT had too. I simply can't believe how ignorant I was when it came to my 4 kids and "trust the doctors" who injected them. We dodged a bullet. But if you have kids or grandkids, I'd be telling them to think twice.
