Mandatory Vaccine for Swine Flu: Risks and Dangers
Mandatory vaccine legislation is being considered to address the swine flu. Yet the risk and dangers of such a vaccine may be greater than the benefits. Here's what Barbara Loe Fisher, President of the National Vaccine Information Center, has to say.
