But does that mean not questioning the cost benefit ratio? One thinks of the problems of the Dengue vaccine debacle here in the Philippines, where not properly screening kids led to some getting hemorrhagic dengue and even dying: and as a result some people refused to get their kids shots to prevent other diseases and we ended up having dozens of kids dying of measles.
A similar problem was seen years ago, when the UK publicized the known but rare side effect of brain damage from whooping cough vaccine: LINK2:the parents read an expose of this known problem so stopped letting their kids get the shot, and voila, a whooping cough epidemic resulted, including some deaths. But the background of this boycott was that there was a newer vaccine that did not have this side effect that was being used in Japan but not in the UK etc. because it cost more.
Similarly, the idea that additives caused problems when a kid got half a dozen shots over a year time seemed to be exaggerated: But what about when the number of shots givven to children has soared?
so anyway, Senator Rand Paul, who is a physician, discusses the problem:
I love vaccines. But, no, you’re not an anti-vaxxer if you question the ingredients. You’re not an anti-vaxxer if you ask questions: All, I think the discussion over vaccines is so oversimplified and dumbed down that we never really get to real truths, and it’s why people up here are so separated from real people at home. So we talk about Hepatitis B. It’s a terrible disease. It could lead to liver failures, the chairman said. But the reason you have distrust from people at home and why they don’t believe anything you say, they don’t believe governed at all is you’re telling my kid to take a Hepatitis B vaccine when he’s one day old. You get it through drug use and sexually transmitted. That’s how you get Hepatitis b. But you’re telling me my kid has to take it at one day old. You’re not…that’s not science.

There's such a belief in submission.
"Submit to the government. Do what you're told."
There is no discussion. There ought to be a debate.

update:
hmm... sounds familiar. Michelle Obama tried to do this with her school lunch program 12 years ago (and was opposed by the Republicans).
as for diabetes: I worked with the IHS, and our tribe had a 30 percent diabetes rate so we did a lot of education on nutrition with our patients. The locals blamed the commodities (High fat high calorie food supplements that was first started because of the malnutrition and high rate of TB and infectious disease due to poor nutrition and lack of protein.
