‘Losing Ground on Vaccines’

It is absolutely shameful that in the United States fewer children are now receiving vaccines for common diseases (Part 1, Jan. 2).

Thanks to a surgeon general who allowed this problem to become very serious over the last several years and a President who ought to be remembered in history as one whose Administration did more harm than good to the poor people of this country by withholding federal funds, but who lead a more than splendid life himself during these eight years.
