The Choice to Vaccinate Belongs to Each American Details VIEW FROM HERE-I am by no means a medical expert. And when it comes to disease control and public health measures, I automatically defer to Dr. Fauci and other scientists working on these enormous problems. But I do think the American people have a right to be skeptical of drugs and vaccines manufactured and distributed by corporations. The fact is corporations have perpetrated horrific crimes and do not deserve our unconditional faith. For example, internal tobacco industry documents released through litigation and whistleblowers uncover the industry denied and continues to deny that smoking causes lung cancer - yet it has known about the carcinogenic makeup of its products since at least the 1950s.
