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."

During the wrap-up, someone yelled something like "what about forced vaccinations?", which is what Kerry was responding to.

That was it! Is there talk about forced vaccinations, anywhere? Where do people come up with these questions?...

And his response was something like "I/we don't support forced vaccinations." (I was in the gym too.)

I think the vaccination-mandate is one of those conspiracy-theory deals. If THE GOVERNMENT is taking over your HEALTH, who *knows* what they could do! :p

Oh, right. There was a woman from Somerville who asked 3 questions, and went on and on rambling and the last question basically was about the conspiracy to take over the health system by THEM (the oligarchs, I presume). The world out there is quite diverse, no doubt about it.
