Maybe you would change your tune if you could see my 21 year old nephew who was perfect before his DPT shot, and is now so severely brain damaged that he can't talk, and will have to be cared for for the rest of his life...but somehow, from your hateful comments, I doubt you care that some children's lives are endangered by vaccines.

I'm sorry that your nephew was injured, but such severe reactions only happen in about 1 in 140,000 doses of the DPT vaccine, or 0.0007%. The fact that he was so supremely unfortunate as to have such a severe reaction is a very sad thing, but the odds of such a reaction are so minuscule and the benefits of using the vaccine so great that you can hardly say that his sad case is an argument against using vaccines.

But to that family whose child was the 1 in 140,000, it's 1 in 1 for them...
