Research proves shots are not safe

One response to the recent measles outbreak is demonizing parents who have not immunized their children. Most parents who make this choice are educated and informed; the adjuvants used in these vaccines (often derived from aluminum and mercury) are the primary concern. While these adjuvants may improve the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, they also increase the risk of potentially severe side effects, especially in very young children who receive multiple vaccines in a single office visit.
