'Gnat Straining and Camel Swallowing' Misdirection

[Guest guest]

All,

Attached is a short note on a major problem with the

rotavirus vaccination program that the American public

is being led to swallow while the government and the

media strains to portray those who control our medicines

and national vaccination programs as being concerned about

our health.

For those who do not get attachments, the text of this

note is roughly:

Please do send this to all of your legislators at both

the state and national level with a demand that this

waste of healthcare dollars be stopped IMMEDIATELY.
