I can't make up my mind on vaccines. The mechanism of vaccines itself works, and has helped us to eradicate a lot of diseases. However, how can I be sure that the rest of the shot is safe? Preservatives? Anything else they decide to stick in there?
Is it a greater risk to vaccinate children or to not do so?
This is the problem when you can't trust the published research. We have a situation where Big Pharma is trusted to do their own efficacy and safety studies, and they do things like Merck did on the mumps vax, spike the human samples with rabbit antibodies to falsify their data (according to a forever-pending law suit by 2 former Merck scientists)
