re: #677 lurking faith

Thank you for pointing this out. I did not represent the data as applying to children, but only presented the chart to make the point that thimerosol is common as a preservative in many vaccines.

We asked our pediatrician for the MSDS for each vaccine and carefully evaluated them before making a decision on administering which vaccine. In some cases, we requested individual vaccinations as opposed to cocktail vaccines that contained thimerosol.

Now that our children are a bit older, we are less cautious, but nonetheless, continue to evaluate every drug and vaccine our doctor recommends before authorization. Call us careful or paranoid or whatever you want, but that is our obligation to evaluate the risks vs. benefits before administering any drugs or vaccines.

Once again, thank you for pointing that out.
