That's because the hospital and your doctors understand more about the transmission of Hepatitis B than you apparently do. Your child should have received either thimerosal free hepB immunization or Comvax from Merck.

Actually the vaccine that you suggest would not be appropriate for my daughter.

From an earlier post....

"COMVAX is not licensed for use under 6 weeks of age because of decreased response to the Hib component.

Merck’s Hepatitis B vaccine for adults still contains thimerosal as a preservative. Children under 3 years of age receive a half-dose of vaccine, i.e., 0.25 mL (12.5 µg mercury/dose.)"

The COMVAX is not recommended for newborns and the Merck vaccine, (which by the way we have a financial interest) contains thimerosal.

And yes I understand the Hep B can be transmitted by methods other than sexual behavior or intravenous drug use. I'm sure this will come as a shock to you, but not all children are stuffed into daycare or stuck in production line public schools. Some people believe in raising their own children and spending the time and resources to educate their children themselves.

And no, to defuse your next arguement, we are not going to isolate our child. We will also know who she's with and what she is doing.

Personally I don't know what your crusade about vaccines is for. Whether or not I vaccinate my daughter for Hep B is no concern of yours.

Scotty, please beam Bones back into George Orwell's 1984.

This thread is talking about the MMR vaccine. If you want to talk about all vaccines....fine. If the drug manufacturers are lying about this one...what does that tell you?

If some stranger walked up to me and stuck me with a needle, that would be assault.

Why should I trust these guys (pharma-giants)? Because they wear white coats? Give me some reason to trust them.

You still haven't answered my question. When did they take the mercury out?...and don't hide behind your sock puppet, Tom B.
