"They
removed the table...wonder why...but you may search for
information. Type in
thimerosal, in many vaccines still today, and see what they don't
tell you. I have logged numerous hours researching information on
vaccines and have met numerous people who have children that have
had adverse reactions to shots.
Regardless of government tactics a parent DOES have the right to
refuse shots and I have information on that as well (along with
the codes of law).
There are two sides to a coin. Unfortunately, people don't take
the time to think for themselves anymore."
Thanks to Kelly for
this information!!
