It won't be long and we won't have any doctors practicing medicine either.

Lindy, I am no fan of lawyers, but that was not the point I was trying to make. I think that the common sense view on vaccines would be as long as the people who take them are told about ALL the risks, then no way should they have a right to sue. Do you think that Lilly should get that "any and all" blanket immunity from lawsuits? If someone could prove that thimersol in a different product caused them harm, tough noogies? Without even seeing if the case has merit? That is my complaint. That and the anonomous (sic) nature of the rider. How can we have a congress that does this? If Frist did it, fine. Just have the nads to say so. Is that not what got travelgate started? Hillary had every right to do the patronage thing, but when she denied doing it the stuff hit the fan. Same with Bill, it was the lie, not the action that hung him. So either someone should stand up and take the credit for adding the rider, or get busted when it gets traced back to them AFTER DENYING IT WAS THEIRS. Accountability, Accountability, Accountability. I live close to Lillyanapolis, the capital of Indiana, and have worked for them on occasion, no axe there. I have a smallpox vaccine scar on my arm, and am glad to have it. I wish to get a booster, but I do not think Lilly should get blanket immunity on thimersol, just in vaccines. I also notice that lawyers only advertise for business that they get a cut of the action, never the other things that they might provide. That is wrong, but the answer is the percentage, not the lawsuit. What do you think?
