While your kids may remain healthy and even get over some of these infectious diseases, they can harm those who are not as lucky. The goal of most vaccines is what is known as a herd immunity, while your kids may not die if exposed to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, or whatever you refuse to vaccinate against, there are many immunocompromised individuals that can die if exposed to your child who is carrying the disease, even if that immunocompromised child has been vaccinated. There are many individuals that are highly at risk for catching and dying from these diseases, and these laws are meant to protect them. Plus, there is no empirical data to support a connection of thimerosal use and any type of autism or brain damage. Plus, vaccinations do not even contain thimerosal or any mercury derivative for that matter any more. Be careful with this level of propaganda.

"Thimerosal continues to have a scarlet letter despite the fact that it contains ethylmercury, not the environmental toxin methylmercury." I think you mean they contain ethyl mercury.

The chances of vaccinations harming your kid are about the same as the chances of them catching highly contagious and potentially fatal illnesses. I've had all my shots, my children have had all theirs, and none of us have any brain damage or toxic levels of mercury (we even eat fish!). Still, it should be up to the parents. It's a risky choice, but one a parent is entitled to make. I don’t know.

The lady who was getting called every few months? That is COMPLETELY WRONG. Threating to toss you in jail for not vaccinating? WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. I hadn't realized that it was difficult to get the exemptions/waivers. I'm not as politically active as I'd like to be - but I do have a list of "things to keep in mind and ask about". This'll go on it. Please keep in mind that not all people for vaccinations are the "I know better than you and you have to do as I say or you are a horrible parent" type. :-) Keep up the good work!
