Vaccines for the Littlest Kids Have Already Flopped

 

It's true that kids are not getting their shots at the recommended rate these days, but there is a good reason for this. It might seem counterintuitive, but in reality, it's the safest thing parents can do for their children.

We're fortunate to live in an age where vaccines exist at all; they have saved millions of lives and prevented countless cases of disability and illness over the years. But some people say "a vaccine never hurt anyone," which just isn't true - in fact, during the last three decades there have been more than 200 lawsuits relating to vaccine injuries (including autism).
