The problem isn't the vaccines, per se, it's the sheer number of them given at once nowadays, combined with using thimerosal (ethylmercury) as a preservative. Despite what some of you may say (very vehemently, I mighty add!), there is a definite link between thimerosal and mitochondrial disorders (Journal of Toxicology and Chemistry, last summer) There is also a known link between mitochondrial disorders and autism (Journal of The American Medical Association, last fall). I hope I don't need to draw a diagram here. I'll post pdfs, if you can't find these studies through Google. My wife has a Masters Degree in abnormal child psychology, and is the Clinical Supervisor in her school district for kids with autism. She has seen normally developing children suddenly "have autism" after 18 month vaccines. She doesn't want my 15 month old baby to have 9 different (yes, 9) poison laden vaccines injected into her at once during her 18 month checkup. Who the fuck am I to argue with her? The issue isn't "should children be vaccinated?" it's "do we really need a vaccine for the friggin' chicken pox"? or "do we really need 9 vaccines containing a known neuro-toxin at one time?" Bill Gates is a huge proponent of forced vaccinations. He's also a proponent of reducing the world's population by 10-15%. Draw your own conclusions. Also consider that 2 years ago Baxter (one of the biggest vaccine manufacturers in the world) sent large quantities of flu vaccine that were "accidently" contaminated with live Avian Flu samples. Despite the fact that there are numerous safety protocols that ensure that such a thing isn't even in the realm of possibility, it occured. Didn't really make the news much (I wonder why?) It was only caught when the receiving Country (Czech Republic) decided to test it first on lab animals. They were kinda surprised when they all started dying.
