There is absolutely nothing you can say that would ever change my mind on vaccines.

You phrased it as a question to me, so I answered it, but yes, sorry, you are right about the forum.  My original intention in posting in this thread was not to argue in favor of rotavirus vaccine, just to correct the mistaken impression left by another post that women were actually being told to quit breastfeeding and give their babies formula for a vaccine to work.

Oh I would not be so sure. It would not be the first time they have pushed the toxic soy soup on the third and first world's babies.

Here is a good exposition of some of the issues.

Peaceful Parenting shared a study done in Mexico and Brazil comparing rotavirus vaccine and breastfeeding:

“Rotavirus vaccine cuts deaths of Mexican babies from diarrhoea by 40%,” states a January, 2010, British Medical Journal headline summarizing two studies.(1) Yet, a study of Brazilian children finds that exclusive breastfeeding cuts diarrhea cases in this similarly developing nation by a whopping 90% (1 / 9.41), versus a diet of formula and/or other foods.(2)

Some Information on Rotavirus "Vaccines"

"Two brands of rotavirus vaccine are currently marketed in Canada. Merck’s RotaTeq, is a genetically engineered vaccine containing five human-cow reassortment strains of rotavirus, and GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix, is a genetically engineered vaccine created by isolating human rotavirus strain and uses African Green monkey kidney cells to produce the original viral seed stock from which the vaccine has been made."

1) I would be VERY cautious about taking ANYTHING genetically engineered into my body by ANY method. This is shooting craps with the devil IMO.

2) I cannot believe they are still using African Green monkey kidney cells in ANY capacity in medicine.
