vaccination!

[tracymort]

who can i trust? i have read so much against it, with evidence to back it up, yet the government just say do it and don't back it up! i am scared if i do vaccinate my baby, scared if i don't and i don't know who to believe! any opinions?

cant trust doctors or health officals, dont trust the government but is willing to listen to a stranger????

the thing that worries me is that the dept of health have warned pregnant women (like me) to avoid swordfish and marlin and other fish because they contain mercury, but there is mercury in the dtp vaccination (not all, there are some mercury free versions) and they push you to inject this into a tiny 8 week old baby!!! it just seems that they contradict themselves. i don't trust dr's anyway. my dad died due to proven medical negligence and i have regularly been prescribed penicillin despite telling the Gp at the time i was allergic! how can i trust them?
