re: #2 Sharmuta

What about the shoes of people who have had to live with the diseases these vaccinations prevent?

I am the parent of two autistic children, and know very well about the humiliation, pain, and expense involved in raising them to become productive adults. However, Sharmuta is absolutely correct to remind us of what parents of dead, crippled and maimed children have to live with as a result of these easily preventable diseases.
By the way, my older son is studying nanotechnology at a community college, and his instructors are trying to get him to go for a PhD in the subject. My younger son is an A honours student in high school, and is a Senior Apprentice with Shodor (shodor.org).
