Tim's uncle and aunty endured years of fertility treatment, possibly caused by him contracting mumps as a child, they finally adopted a daughter. When Luke was having his first round of neurosurgery there was a little girl having neurosurgery, as her seizures started when she developed encephalitis from measles.
I know MM. But the point is that they claim these vaccinations are totally safe. They are not. They will never strive to make them safer so long as they refuse to accept that there are real problems with them.
The vast majority of people don't have problems with the vaccination, just as the vast majority of people don't have any lasting problems with measles or mumps. Rubella is different in that the Girls do need it, but only the girls, boys are vaccinated with it, so they say, because it protects the girls. I've rarely heard a weaker argument for giving a boy a vaccination they don't need just to save costs.
I know it's a personal thing but then I've seen my cousin literally have her life ruined by Crones. She will never have children, has had multiple operations and will never have a normal life.
These are not risks or choices we should be forced to take.
