37. I am not arguing about vaccinations, I have had most of them.
My point was if the water had not be regulated and cleaned how many people do you think would die per year. If the water is allowed to set stagnant and breed mosquito's how many people would die per year. If we watered vegetables with unclean water how many people would die per year. If the air was dirtier than it is now (it is dirty) how many people would die per year.

That was my point, not against vaccines, but that it made sense to me that the environmental issues could wipe out a lot more people a lot quicker.

I do however, worry more about vaccines of late. I have seen the controversies about autism vs. vaccines. They had a physician on one of the hearings (C-Span) years ago that said the CDC has 5-6 databases that store the data disjointly, not integrated. The physicians are not permitted to access this info. Did you know that some vaccines have a higher negative incident rate and the physicians and patients are not permitted access to the info? Which vaccine would you want to give your child, the one with higher incidences? Oh, but your not entitled to know the risks associated with each mfg'er.

Oh yes, and why was the liability release to vaccine mfg'ers slipped into the Patriot Act (I think it was). Why do the pharmaceutical companies need to be absolved from any liability for their products. Does that make you feel comfortable, with the recent revelations of medications such as Vioxx?
