And we focus, too, on what we can do for him today with a view towards tomorrow---thank you.

I did not know then what it was and I did not know of any vaccine controversy. My son is now 10 and I focus on what can I do for him today that will also help him tomorrow.

There doesn't seem to be much refutation of this here. Though, no one has said what the consequences of this might be. If we're willing to accept that some kids might have adverse affects to many frequent vaccines then might we be willing to accept that for some kids even a small number, or even one, vaccine could have ill affects? We know that some kids can actually die from vaccines (it's one of the risks we sign knowledge of when we agree to administer vaccines to our kids). Can we really say that we understand every side-affect of vaccinations in all cases? Some have commented that giving so many vaccines so frequently is not a good idea for some kids.

" You went out of your way to ask me what my comment was about; thus, we can conclude it was not an intentional lapse into denseness. You were legitamately unable to discern my meaning. The hilarious part is that <i>you couldn't even keep that straight</i>; you make the assertion that your denseness was intentional, when all available evidence points to the opposite. I am also from the South. - pD Hi Emily -

Now the same person who has called me stupid, boring, agenda driven, ignorant, insincere, and a fool is in also in the business of keeping up with social graces? R O F L. Either you had a horrible teacher, or you didn't learn very well. Keep digging. You are making my point that you cannot defend your point with logic or valid information better than I could. - pD Hi Emily -
