Vaccine makers helped write Frist-backed shield law

This legislation would allow the vaccine companies to kill you with bad medicine then be sheilded from lawsuits. Welcome to Frist-World. This is CRIMINAL.

~snip~ Vaccine industry officials helped shape legislation behind the scenes that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist secretly amended into a bill to shield them from lawsuits, according to e-mails obtained by a public advocacy group. ~snip~

1. Flash! . . . ALL legislation affecting an industry is written . . .

by that industry and/or its lobbyists . . . pharmaceuticals, oil, banking, agriculture, all of them . . . Congress turned their law-writing power over to their corporate sponsors years ago . .
