Here’s a link to an interesting article that gives you an idea why there’s some controversy over vaccines -


http://www.mothering.com/guest_editors/quiet_place/134.html

a quote from the author that I found to be very thoughtful:

"Choice is important for many reasons. First, informed consent is a doctrine of US health policy and US jurisprudence. Second, we live in a country in which health care is a business, which makes us simultaneously patients and clients. Third, it has been parent advocacy that has resulted in safer vaccines. Most important, however, is that you choose in order to live peacefully with the outcome of your choice, no matter what it is. Only when your choice is not coerced can you live with the inevitable regrets that come when things do not turn out as you’d hoped they would."
