    Very interesting. Men can get shots too, it looks like.

    I'd be wary of vaccines, especially that one, they have had some serious complications and it is very limited in what that protects.

    but that company doesn't care, it's all about profits, not safety

    Yeah of course.

    Vaccinations are a very beneficial part of modern life and they are the reason we have such high survival rates of children. I think I've seen you posting this stuff before and I can't understand why anyone would have such a huge problem with them. Of course there are possible side effects, but the benefits are worth it in life threatening cases. This one is obviously optional, but that's up to the person to decide.

    yes that was true before vaccines became viewed as a profit generator and not as medical benefit. these companies will risk lives in order to save a few cents on their vaccines if the risk/profit calculation works out, as bad as that sounds they are legally obligated to do so to give the best benefit to shareholders

    yes again some vaccines have serious benefits but the numbers of vaccines are exploding, we vaccinate more then many other developed countries but have higher death rates, at some point we have to admit we are overdoing it
