Please dont make your baby part of a vaccine research. For the love of God.

These drug companies are testing new vaccines on children in the third world without telling thier parents.

Recently in south america 12 babies died when they tested a pnumococal (cant spell) vaccine - WITHOUT- asking for consent, and guess what they just shrugged it off.

I gotta go as I am crying.

You will be shot down in flames .

Here is some stuff about how common meningitis B is....but you are the only one who can decide whether you want to let your dd have the meningitis B immunisation.

Good luck deciding.

Correction - they did have consent but it was coerced.

Sorry just upsets me as the mother of a little boy who got very ill as a result of vaccines
