From Post #32: Just because obamacare can be waived makes it no less a mandate. What would have been the difference?
Having an optout makes it no less a mandate. Most people would not go to the trouble of seeking an optout because it is a hassle and believe it or not, there are still people who think the government knows best. That might be more of an indictment of parents, but the government should not be in the position of forcing parents to make uinformed choices about the health of their children. The fact remains that had he succeeded and the dangers of this vaccine had come to light AFTER these children had ben forced to submit to these shots, it would have been perry on the hook, not the parents who trusted him to do the right thing.
And I STILL wonder why perry would have done such a thing when so little was known about it. It never seemed quite right from the gitgo.
Money.
