blogs.discovermagazine.com — I can not believe that there are still parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated. This story is tragic and a hard read. If the parents of the child who died did make the choice not to have their child vaccinated there should be charges. Vaccinations save lives

It's not totally cut-and-dried like everyone here makes it out to be.Many parents believe there's a link between vaccinations and mental retardation. I have read accounts of parents who saw their childrens' mental capacity fail after a vaccination. This has been attributed to the use of mercury as a preservative.The problem is that this isn't proven in a clinical sense. There is certainly *evidence* but is the connection between the two real? I don't know. But before judging these people and calling them negligent, and calling Health and Human Services on them, it's important to understand their reasoning for doing so.-Pie

A link to a crappy video on google from a doctor who appeared on Coast to Coast AM does not equal research. Also, when said doctor is the director of an organization that pushes osteopathy and acupuncture as preventative medicine weakens your case.Good luck with that.
