In Australia vaccines for infants are not only free for all but are compulsory, a child cannot enter school without their vaccine cards. Any old age pensioner can have free flu shots, people with problems with immunity can have free flu shots. At least in America even the poor have a choice as to whether they want to be vacinated!!! This is not an argument about free vaccines this is an argument about making an informed decision, if poor people or whoever choose to be vacinated that is their choice, and no-one has the right to decide for them. Personally I would love to see all the money that is put into providing free vaccines given to people in need so that they can put a roof over their heads,food into the mouths of their children and protection from cold or heat. That way they wont need to take up the offer of free vaccines. The people on this forum give freely of their time and knowledge to educate people about health choices and don't need to defend themselves from attacks by self rightous preachers who know nothing of the personal circumstances of the people they're attacking. Every person who pays taxes gives to the poor and needy, its not the fault of the people paying those taxes if the government chooses to use them to bail out big business instead of looking after the citizens of its country.
