Thanks for starting this interesting thread, Jenna.

As I see it from inside the medical industry, but not in that area of vaccination technology.....

Members of the general public must find it extremely difficult to make really well informed decisions about this because it's such a complicated area.

No matter which decision a person makes, there's always that "worry factor". I think the MSM makes this harder for people by feeding off this worry, in order to increase ratings & sell more magazines & papers.

For what it's worth, I think that in the main, vaccination technology has been of tremendous benefit to mankind.

However it's absolutely true there is risk associated with it albeit extremely small, as there is with all medical technology.

And as for that trial.....

It was a shocker.....a real shocker.

Kind regards

This will give me pause the next time someone cites a peer-reviewed, published study as evidence.

The opposition to Wakefield's study does not come to the table with clean, shiny hands either. The organised opposition to Wakefield's study -- as well as organised opposition to Wakefield the doctor (and I suspect even as Wakefield the person) -- come from well-funded interested parties in Pharmaceuticals, etc.
