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...
