  People are reacting to the ever increasing forcing of vaccines. Ever since the governments in Australia and America have taken punitive measures against their citizens, many people who were on the fence have become angry. We have the right to choose what we put in our children's bodies - not the government.

  Mainstream media refuses to tell the truth. Why haven't we heard this in our news?
  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tells Newsmax Health that money is the reason Congress is delaying hearings on accusations that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hid a link between the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism."The pharmaceutical industry is a trillion dollar industry," Kennedy said in an exclusive interview. "There are other trillion dollar industries, but not one that spends as much on Congress as it does.
  
  "The pharmaceutical industry spends twice what the next biggest industry spends, which is oil and gas. They spend four times what defense and aeronautics spend.
  
  "That kind of money — the money they spend in lobbying — buys a lot of influence," he says. "It's why congress people are scared to go against them. There's just a lot of career fear.”
  "The CDC scheduled meetings to try to destroy the documents that demonstrated children were getting autism from the vaccine by literally dumping them in a trashcan," Kennedy charged."Congress only seems to act when a congress person has been affected directly by vaccine injury."
  
  He points to two congressmen in addition to Posey who have spoken out about a link between the MMR vaccine and autism: former Reps. Dan Burton and Dave Weldon.
  
  As chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform, Burton linked autism with vaccines, and in a 2002 letter to the Department of Health and Human Services, he asked the director of the FDA to recall all vaccines containing the mercury compound thimerosal. "Every day that mercury-containing vaccines remain on the market is another day HHS is putting 8,000 children at risk," Burton said.
