VACCINES: The Risks, The Benefits, The Choices

My first post was a little out there and really is just meant to make you think. This post is also for that purpose although it is actionable and more easily accessible (although may still be hard to swallow).

There has been a lot of talk (on and offline) about vaccines lately. Can they cause autism from mercury? Do we need to give our children so many vaccinations at such early ages (there is talk about vaccinating in the womb)? What are the risks if I don't give my child vaccinations? If I don't get the flu shot? How can I make an informed decision?

I stumbled upon this video a few months ago from 2004. It is a slideshow presented by Sherri Tenpenny, D.O. Nothing flashy, just facts and history. It is just under 3 hours long and well worth watching. She gives pros and cons of multiple vaccinations and cites many resources (directly from scientific journals & the CDC) which I unfortunately haven't had time to research. If you have any legitimate resources or have time to look into her resources, please post them here. Also, if you happen to come across the slideshow she presented online I would love a copy!

(Please take the time to watch the video before posting your comments)


Here is a direct link to watch it on google:
