Lisa, chill. <grin> You by definition get batty the minute you have
kids. All the rest is details. You've seen my brood, briefly, so you
know how nuts it can get (I had to throw out the boots BTW <evil grin>).
A lot of the info comes from the net, with suspect sources. Believe it
if you will. Or not. Personally I'd like to see the evidence backing
up some of these apocryphal claims against vaccines, etc. A lot of what
is presented as evidence is very poorly designed or extrapolated.
Examine the actual studies. Do they really exist? If so, how was the
data compiled. If you are not of an analytical bent, get a friend or
doctor to look over the abstract or actual data.
I was vaccinated (including some of the really good ones you get in the
military that make you sick for a week) and my kids are vaccinated with
no ill effects so far. I see it as a better preventative than hoping
some internet site with a sensationalistic agenda MIGHT be correct in
their assertions.
And if I'm wrong? Well, I never did desire to live forever - that would
be too boring for words after a point...
