Our immune systems were designed to build through natural progression and simple childhood fevers, not to be bombarded with over 30 injections of thimerisol-laced viral matter by the age of 4. Vaccinations are the elephant in the room. I agree Larissa.

I am a public health professional who appreciates what the implications would be if people stopped vaccinating completely but I think there hasn't been enough respect for children's developing immune systems and the damage that might be wrought by the overstimulation of our very rigorous vaccination schedule.

They do talk about creating super bugs, etc. And I have also heard of coal burning being a part of the rise in asthma. I think the Trib did a piece a few years ago focusing on Pilsen & Little Village. I work with a lot of public health people and they rarely use the anti-biotic stuff.

According to the documentary, the mercury affected the fetus during development and led to later instances of asthma and allergy problems. If I remember or come across the information again, I'll follow up here.
