Never take word of mouth as evidence. Ever. It’s been shown time and time again since the 1600’s that individual cases are not only meaningless, but rapidly grow in their supposed severity and prospect of doom with every set of lips they pass through. It’s just like a virus of disinformation, and we take it it, grow it, build it up and unleash it on the next set of unsuspecting believers.

Save the rumours for the neighborhood gossip.
Vaccines save lives. They saved YOUR life.
The Mercury preservative in multi-vaccines is NOT Mercury METAL, it’s MgCl2 = INSOLUBLE salt, it passes right through the body, and NEVER enters the bloodstream.

Without the Mercury, the vaccine could become infected – i.e., 3rd-world grade vaccine. Those multi-shots protect against a Huge array of pathogens that your child WILL encounter in her life.

You have more fear (and more Mercury) to be found in your Lakes, Rivers, _Drinking_Water_ and Fresh Air, thanks to Poorly Regulated Industry.
Say NO to 19/20th century Industry! Direct your fear at the Real Menace in your own back yard. Pressure your Local government to ACT in the public’s interest, and Seek Proof of compliance Above and BEYOND EPA heavy metal and other toxic environmental pollutants. EPA levels are some of the WORST in the Modern World.

Exercising some of one’s own good judgment for MANY parents would include not ignoring their own experiences with seeing first-hand a child regress into autism directly after a vaccination…. AND ignoring the politically motivated naysayers.

Q: Do you think vaccines should be investigated as a possible cause of autism? Hillary’s answer: I am committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines. I have long been a supporter of increased research to determine the links between environmental factors and diseases, and I believe we should increase the NIH’s ability to engage in this type of research. My administration will be committed to improving research to support fact-based solutions, and I will ensure that the NIH has the staff and funding to fully explore all possible causes of autism.

Q: What will you do to protect Americans, especially young children and pregnant women, from exposure to mercury through vaccines? Hillary’s answer: I will ensure that all vaccines are as safe as possible for our children by working to ensure that Thimerosal and mercury are removed from vaccines. I plan to fully invest in our research agencies so they can protect our children’s health, and so they can find the causes and cures for conditions such as autism.

Barrack Obama is also on record as stating he will fight to remove Thimsoral from all vaccines.

What’s your point?

“except to use him[McCain] as a device for a straw man monologue of the usual talking points”

—maybe we can substitute “autism” as his “device for a straw man monologue”……

Now that you mention it, that perfectly fits my impression of Koplewicz’s “responses” to people at the so-called “Town Hall Meeting.”

“GMTA”?

:-p
