@ShamalAmadiNgdongEsq Scientists deal with numbers. The CDC has acquiesced that only a minute number of children will be adversely affected by vaccines, let's say the number is .09%. To scientists, this may seem like a miracle breakthrough. But if you're a parent and your child happens to be one of those .09%, that is pretty devastating.

It should be a parent's choice. Your vague and inflammatory post is an example of why philosophical debates devolve into Jerry Springer material.

Has anyone noticed that the vaccine proponents have perfect grammar and spelling, and the vaccine opponents can't spell or write correctly for their life? I would get vaccines just to be able to read and write appropriately, according to these comments.

Valid "research" does not come from conspiracy websites and biased youtube videos. Get your research findings from articles found in reputable journals (such as PubMED or nursing journals) who undergo rigorous ethical approval and reduce bias. The only things anti-vaccinationists cite are an ill-conceived and statistically insignificant study and blatant anti-vaccination sites on the internet. Not credible sources of information.

The man who first discovered the "association" between autism and the mercury in vaccines (Geier), did not reliably conduct his research. There were many methodological and statistical errors in his study. He did not summarize his methods in his study, making it impossible for anyone to re-conduct it. This is a major issue regarding the validity of his results. Every study conducted since then has disproved his theory. In addition, Thiomersal has now been removed from childhood vaccines.

@MrWaynoracer --> if you are going to make an argument against vaccinations please learn how to spell mercury. It's a lot more effective argument if you spell the chemical correctly. There have also been studies that vaccinations do NOT cause autism. The physician who was paid to say that also lost his license. Do more research before you make an argument for or against something.

Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, you need help you, I'm sorry you don't know that he feels we need to "depopulate' in other words, we need to make sure we cut some people out of the population, so that means with poisons and vaccines, in your new born baby, in your child, children make our population one day, In the elderly and in me. HE HAS MADE IT KNOWN, Just type in bill gates vaccines in your you tube search,

Just ask your school for the "waiver" because you are smart and don't vaccinate!

@spasemonkey05- Is estimated only 10% vaccination injury gets reported.. Doctors are of course going to go to great lengths to cover up- cover for the medical association and big Pharma.. Those people can make life for hard for an honest doctor.

[2ndSamuel710]

@BurdenOfTruth67- Yes, injecting direct into bloodstream is 1,000 more devastating than contact au natural.. That is what Dr Cass Ingram says- 1,000 worse than any encounter in the natural world such as through nose, mouth or skin with many natural barriers to say nothing of never encounter with man created substances.

@BurdenOfTruth67- My cat is 10-11 years old.. NEVER ANY VACCINATIONS! Perfect health. Never a thought to go to the vet- even with small injuries from fights.. Never a cough or sneeze. Never eyes or nose running.. Ears perfectly clean too.. AND she spends most all time outside even when 0 degrees. No house or cover- leave it to her to find it.. Catches & eats many mice... I know other families that haveno vaccinations.. With out exception- they wouldn't have it any other way.
