Green Our Vaccines

Ok, so I don't claim to be a medical professional or any sort of expert on this subject. But I am a mom, and say what you will, that is an extremely powerful position to hold, at least it SHOULD be. I just watched a program that I usually enjoy but was pushed beyond my breaking point. If you have children and vaccinate them, you are probably aware of what I'm about to unleash, but so be it. I'll write for those who don't. Those of us afraid of vaccines are NOT suggesting we all stop vaccinating our children. At least, I'm not. I want us to be responsible for what we are injecting into our children. Why is there mercury in some of them? If you are told to NOT break into a thermometer and drink up that neat looking silver material, why are we injecting into ourselves and our children? If many, and I mean MANY children have suffered adverse affects from receiving several vaccines at a time, THEN STOP GIVING 8 AT ONE TIME!!! I'm not trying to bring back measles, to quote Jenny McCarthy, "What kind of a**hole would do that?" But we, as parents have the right and the responsibility to make good decisions for our children. Which means, if there are parents who don't want vaccines, you can't make them. Knowing several autistic children, I can understand why you don't want to take that risk, especially on the sibling of an autistic child. It isn't the decision I would make, but I'm not that child's parent. As far as my opinion, what I will do for MY children, I will vaccinate responsibly and I will fight until my last breath for the children suffering from autism. I will work towards making sure vaccines are safe and that is what is meant by "Green our vaccines". While our world is trying so hard to go green, why not here too? Thanks for listening.
