Most parents take vaccinating their children for granted.
It is also assumed that vaccinations are safe, effective, and mandatory. Vaccine safety, however, is questionable at best. Vaccine effectiveness varies and vaccination is not mandatory. After three years of research, I'm dismayed by the lack of comprehensive, unbiased information about vaccination. I am appalled that parents do not have to consent to this medical procedure and that we do not have the right in all states to make a truly informed decision concerning what is injected into and ingested by our children.
