And the mercury has largely been removed, increasing the expense of the vaccines, with no impact on Autism diagnosis rates. You are stating these things like they are facts, rather than the misinformation they were in the first place. Please if you don't understand herd immunity your grasp on the relevant science is clearly inadequate to distinguish the good from the bad information out there. You have three basic choices, either learn more of the relevant science, or trust the experts, or wallow in dangerous ignorance and misinformation that is awash on the Internet. There are genuine controversies in vaccination research and practice. Probably the leading one is whether to vaccinate for chickenpox, or whether the resulting increase in Shingles in older people outweighs the benefits. It is a genuinely difficult question to answer, and currently US and UK vaccine experts have come to different conclusions. The data coming in hasn't so far helped much. The benefits of chickenpox vaccine were much greater than hoped, the incidence of Shingles also increased more than some experts were expecting. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
