So you've decided vaccines are probably safe. Well good for you. Now you're trying to chisel around the edges, talking about preservatives and scheduling. What you don't seem to realize is that parts per million of even extreme poisons like cyanide are safely ingested every day, sequestered by the liver and rendered harmless. The preservatives in vaccines aren't that toxic and are simply eliminated.
Likewise, you seem incapable of realizing that the scheduling has been arrived at over a period of many years of intensive study by people whose business it is to study the optimum timing to activate a child's developing immune system while allowing breaks between dosages. It's their life's work to do this. The schedules might be further optimized in the future, but they are not harmful now.
I'm amazed by the arrogance of cranks at computers who read Mercola or Natural News and consider themselves informed, they are no different from people who are propagandized by Glen Beck except that they are more dangerous to public health.
