Wow, talk about playing Russian Roulette....

while very rare, occurring in the United States at a rate of about one to two per 1 million vaccinations

How do they know this number, I mean really? Where do they get that, how do they know it isn't higher?

He said a true vaccine reaction will come on quickly, with 99 percent occurring within the first two hours of the shot.

Yeah, so let's just dismiss anything else after 2 hours.

and in this related article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/156654

Keep in mind the co-author of the "Pediatrics paper and deputy director of a CDC division dedicated to immunizations and respiratory diseases" said this:

Preservatives were used in killed vaccines, such as DPT (diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus), but they haven't been in seven or eight years. They were all removed in 2001.

Really? Thimerosal is a preservative. Just because it is in there in lesser amounts for SOME vaccines, saying it's been removed is stretching it quite a bit, don't you think Ms. Seward?

I dunno... it just seems like they keep removing barriers to vaccinating EVERYONE. It used to be if you had a reaction to DTP, you got DT. Now they deny there are any. Now egg allergies are not a reason to not vaccinate with MMR. Soon there will be no contraindications whatsoever to vaccination. Ever. Its ALWAYS safe and good for you, unlike any other drug in medicine.
