text: Yes B. Pajer, I have noticed that so many people will accept any vaccine for their children recommended by the CDC without even looking at what the vaccine is meant to prevent or looking at what ingredients are in each vaccine.  I can't help but feel there is a real lack of critical thinking skills out there. It is just "Get your kid vaccinated." Period.  No ability to parce out the nuances of this subject.  They could make hundreds more vaccines purporting to provide immunity against the most harmless illnesses and people would inject their kids without a second thought. It is not just our right as parents to investigate but our duty but so many just let others do their thinking for them.
