Thanks for sharing. All of know this is a pretty controversial and touchy subject. It is my thought that although there may be some alleged problems with the vaccines, it is more important to keep the disease that it prevents at bay. The idea of vaccines is a very good one.

I face the hard decision to get my children vaccinated all the time. I have 6 children and that is a lot of shots! The small risk involved is better to take than the larger one of having them contract a disease which would either severely retard them or kill them.

Now that people are afraid to vaccinate, because of thimerosol (which is no longer included in the shots except for the flu shots, which I do not believe in getting because the flu is non-life threatening in most cases), measles is on the rise once again. And yet, Autism continues to rise without the use of the scapegoat thimerosol. Who knows?

I don't know if the government should have the right to choose to make us vaccinate, and we still do have that choice (no one can MAKE you do it) but I am of the firm belief that some people need to educate themselves about proper health care and hygiene, which is something that even this country still lacks.
