"med community"? What does that mean? Multiple doctors? That's an odd way to say "the doctor said not related"

I know people can have bad reactions to vaccines, I've even heard of seizures. But just the way you phrased that was the same way anti-vaxxers phrase their objections.

Also, you didn't answer the question about what age the kids were when vaccinated. How long has it been since the seizures occurred, and have they continued?

I think parents should be "free" to not vaccinate their kids. They're wrong. And society should be free to prevent

Thats a great non-answer.

Its a great answer! What % would you put on it?

I was just wondering if the 3% was an official number from someone.

Devouring1

2/13/19 4:55pm

I was going to put 5%, but its not that much. 3% is totally arbitrary.

I would like some context here. What does "went off the deep end" mean? At what age were they vaccinated?

and was it a correlation or a causation?

I didn't say it was correlative. I said I saw it and asked questions.

Yes, you did say it was "correlative." You just haven't claimed causation.

With good reason. Most educated people should realize that the vast majority of anti-vax complaints are nonsense.
