I don't buy the idea that vaccines are dangerous in and of themselves. The fact of the matter is, in humans and animals, vaccines have saved so many lives and improved even more. there is always going to be someone allergic to anything. If aspirin or penicillin were to be brought to market today, the FDA would never allow them to be released. Yet, look at the lives saved and improved because of them.
I think the numbers of people who are ill in conjunction with a vaccine are more likely coincidental rather than correlated.
Then, there is the simple fact that many of these people and animals may have never survived or even been bred or born to have these vaccines just a few generations ago since the vaccines, in their various incarnations, have allowed more people to live than did just a few years ago.
Vaccines are a wonderful thing. They have saved many lives that a century ago might not have been. But, let us remember, from a herd strength standpoint, because of vaccines, many animals, (human and others) are still breeding who, by natural selection, might not have been in the gene pool not so long ago.
Our intelligence has allowed us to compensate for weaker genes and weaker immune systems. It is not a good thing or a bad thing, but a thing. But it is one we must consider when deciding whether vaccines, as w hole are good or bad. Whether you like them or not, as a species, we have thrown in our lot with them. to give them up now would be to offer up a generation or more to some very dangerous diseases.

Remember little Joey... I think it was Diana Snyder that has him...he almost died after a Rabies vaccine, I think it was...
I have been aware of these articles about the question of safety with vaccines, in people as well as in pets...it is serious...
