This is what it comes down to: DCYF calling the police to seize children and force them to take anti-psychotics. Read your “1984” and “Brave New World” my friends, and know where to draw the line in the sand.
This case in the video above is not the first I’ve heard of this tactic, and there are other subtle ways of pushing people to make it as a “choice” (under duress). Whether it is Ritalin, Prozac, or yet another immunization- the government agencies are constantly advising or mandating that the injection be done. But why? Never forget that pharmaceutical companies pay more money on lobbying politicians than anyone.
They lobby for:
Relaxed rules so they are not liable when anyone gets messed up on their medications/vaccinations;
Government-paid vaccinations and other flu-of-the-week injections;
Global interference to help them sell to, or push upon, other countries (remember the pharmaceutical company struck by missiles in Sudan? Supposedly bin Laden was the target);
Keeping life-saving medications expensive;
Reducing oversight by the FDA, etc.
The Drug War is a diabolical laughingstock as to who it targets and the goals purported. Some of us believe that, for the most part, humans are born as one piece of a functioning eco-system. We do not need injections to survive it. But back to the case at hand: consider the mentality, and the approach to human rights, that allowed people from the department of “children youth and families” to call the police… and think about what they might have said to the police. And think about what the police were saying to each other, what may have transpired with their superiors, that allowed them to believe this was all legal and righteous.
Now THAT is what we should condemn.
