This is insane! My daughter started taking flu shots when she was about 13 b/c of her asthma; colds got to be life-threatening for her. But they made her so sick--not flu symptoms, rather fever, pain, etc--that she refused to take them after several years. Her body is now coping with colds and illness on its own again and she no longer has to get steroids to recover. I'm sure they are life-saving for those who need them, but I would never unnecessarily give one to a toddler.

This is insane!

I totally agree. It would most obviously cause more harm than good, both due to the thimerosal AND the vaccine itself..
