  • Has anyone recently looked at what is in all the VACCINES?

    I am getting more and more concerned about all the vaccines that my children are getting. I feel that when I ask questions of my pediatrician, he ducks and weaves really answering my questions and having a conversation. It is like the subject has become so controversial that people are not really addressing the risks. I know that there are pro's and con's associated with vaccinations, but don't you think that parents DESERVE to get educated and have their doctors be neutral not pushing one agenda or another on you and your kids?
