And they expect us to submit our children for vaccinations!

Today I read an article in the Telegraph saying that safety regulators will be telling parents not to give their children a range of over the counter cold remedies as the dangers outweigh any benefits.

These remedies have been available for many years and supposedly approved as safe for children yet we find that they are linked to many deaths -

Reports submitted to regulators show that, when cases involving people of all ages are considered, dozens have died after taking medication containing the ingredients and more than 3,000 people have reported "adverse reactions". Diphenhydramine, which is used in Benylin Children's Coughs and Colds, was mentioned in reports of 27 deaths, while chlorphenamine, an ingredient in Tixylix Cough and Cold, was mentioned in reports of 11 deaths.

There has been much debate recently about the safety of vaccines such as the MMR and officials refuse to allow parents to choose alternatives or threaten to bring in social services if the parents refuse to have their children vaccinated.

They claim that there is no evidence the vaccines are unsafe, I dare say that there was previously no evidence that cough remedies were unsafe, do you feel confident that we are being told the unbiased truth?

Are you prepared to take a chance with your children?
