Town Hall Meeting on Health Care Reform with Kerry (last night).

"SOMERVILLE - Senator John F. Kerry told thousands of people gathered for a town hall meeting last night that millions of Americans will lose their jobs in the next five years if Congress does nothing to change the nation’s health care system. Kerry addressed a mostly friendly crowd of about 2,800 at Somerville High School, where the auditorium and gymnasium were packed with those interested in the proposed national health care overhaul."

I watched on TV (the local cable-access channel), and near the end I heard someone shout a question about mercury in vaccines, and Kerry said he was opposed to mercury in vaccines--all vaccines. Could that have been what you heard?

It'll probably be on TV again. I saw it on Channel 13.

I was totally shocked/amazed to see the crowds. I thought it would be just a local thing. SHS was a strange venue choice for a crowd attending Kerry's sole town meeting in MA.
