[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 649036, member: 3419"] Kids' vaccinations used to contain thimerosol. It has been taken out. Public outcry does have an effect. Flu shots still contain mercury. And a form of formaldehyde. (See link below.) We do not get flu shots. This year at best, they combat 23% of flu mutations. (2014/2015). This is the CDC's own claim. It is an assault on your immune system, especially if you already have a compromised immune system. The irony is, you don't want the flu, either, if you have a compromised immune system. You have to weigh the risk-benefit ratio every year, because the shot changes every year. I refused E-mycin drops in my daughter's eyes at birth. My husband's eyes were swollen shut after he was given drops at birth, plus, I had not been exposed to any sort of VD. I paid an extra $100 to be tested for a VD, just so that the hospital lawyer's would be happy. I spaced most of my kids' vaccines. It cost a lot of money. But bundling vaccines is dangerous. The CDC has little information on it, but you can do a Google search and find plenty of individual MDs around the world who do not advocate bundled vaccines. Veterinarians don't do it, either. I waited a few weeks before having my kids vaccinated. IOW, I did not follow the recommended schedule, but it was only a few weeks. I wanted their immune systems to be as strong as possible first. One of the worst shots is the HPV for cervical cancer. It only works for one type of cancer (there are many types of cervical cancer) and has many documented side effects. VA is the only state that mandates the shot. The delegate that fought to have the bill passed was given $50,000 by the pharma company that bought his vote. He is in jail now, but not for that. He tried to buy a teaching position at a local university in exchange for giving them state funds. I do not think that we need a mandated chicken pox shot.
