Your utter lack of a sense of scale is astounding.  Nothing is 100% safe.  This includes vaccines and cars and planes and crossing the street and eating lettuce and drinking water.  But we all fly and drive and walk and...

I agree with Prosciencemum in the need for scepticism in looking for credible information. Nothing (including vaccinating as well as not vaccinating) is 100% safe, but the huge majority of science looking at large numbers comes...

Hi - great to hear that you are thinking hard about your baby.  As you can see there are MANY opinions here, both pro and anti.  I'm personally an all-in vaccination supporter and giver but if you are seeking a "suggestion"...

Everyone here has their own perspective - mine is to accept the science done for generations that has saved countless lives and prevented countless disabilities and move forward.    If you know no one who had polio and is...

Survival long-term, yes.  Indefinitely, no.  Although it may take 20 or 30 years, everyone dies from HIV.    Not sure why you mention Magic Johnson (I didn't) but with limitless funds, yes, progression can be...
