I don't believe in homeopathic medicine.
I am definitely getting the flu shot. I believe the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks. Not all natural things are harmless, just as not all man-made things are harmful.
My medicinal chem prof told us that antibiotics, vaccines and painkillers (so surgery can be done) have increased our lifespans by a lot. The two big things being antibiotics and vaccines. Vaccines have saved countless lives. If you don't believe me just look in the history books on how people died back then compared to now.
Seeing as how I get the same amount of mercury from eating a can of tuna as is in a vaccine, I don't see how anyone should worry about vaccines.
