Congressman Dan Burton, (R-IN)
Congressman Dan Burton is serving his eleventh term as a Republican U.S. Congressman from Indiana’s Sixth Congressional District. Immediate past chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, he currently is chair of the Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness of that committee as well as a member of the House International Relations Committee, where he serves on the subcommittees on the Western Hemisphere and International Operations and Human Rights. He has a career voting percentage record that is one of the highest in Congress.
As Chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, he was the architect of the 1997 FDA Modernization Act. During the 105th and 106th Congress, he held a series of hearings on vaccine safety and informed consent issues ranging from anthrax vaccine and Gulf War syndrome to childhood vaccinations and autism; problems with implementation of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act; conflicts of interest in vaccine licensing and policymaking; and mercury in vaccines. The father of three children, he has two grandchildren. Both of his grandchildren suffered severe vaccine reactions. His granddaughter almost died as an infant following a hepatitis B vaccination and his healthy, bright grandson suddenly became autistic at age 14 months after being injected with nine different vaccines on the same day.

It sounds like this Republican Congressman "gets its" because it has affected his grandchildren. We need all the help we can get.
I have read people on this board who have dissed the notion and minimized the impact of vaccines on children. So I've been reading up on it - and women need to know what is going on. This page has a lot of good articles:

There should be vaccines available without mercury - but you should see the container - because some batches might still have it. That ANY child ever received 9 vaccines in ONE day is insane. I would recommend that mother's not get any more vaccines than absolutely necessary and it's probably a good idea to put it off and wait until the child is a little older when possible.
Flu vaccines are not necessary and still contain mercury. Not all of these vaccines are necessary:
Under the CDC immunization schedule, here are the vaccines recommended for children before two years of age.
Birth-6 months: Hepatitis B: 2 doses; Diphtheria, Pertussis (DPT), Tetanus: 3 doses; Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): 3 doses; Inactivated poliovirus: 2 doses; Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): not recommended; Varicella: not recommended; Pneumococcal conjugate: 3 doses. Total 13 doses
12-24 months: Hepatitis B: 1 dose; Diphtheria, Pertussis (DPT), Tetanus: 1 dose; Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): 1 dose; Inactivated poliovirus: 1 dose; Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): 1 dose; Varicella: 1 dose; Pneumococcal conjugate: 1 dose; Pneumococcal polysaccharide*: 1 dose; and Influenza: 1 dose
Hepatitis A*: 1 dose; Total 10 doses
* Vaccines recommended in selected states and regions and for certain high-risk groups.

-----------------
On Edit: Men are welcome to be involved in the issue of their children's vaccinations, as well and I hope any of you men reading this are. It seemed appropriate for a mother's forum, esp. with the Rho-gam thing, and this is the closest forum available.
