Lead in ginkgo pills. Arsenic in herbals. Bugs in a baby's colic and teething syrup. Toxic metals and parasites are part of nature, and all of these have been found in "natural" products and dietary supplements in recent years.

yeah, that contamination you're talking about is accidental. We can't stop some of that from happening- and there is a hygiene hypothesis that says we do need a certain amount of exposure to germs/foreign objects to prime our immune system. BUT, with vaccination you have a very purposeful exposure to MANY ingredients, wihich, to be honest with you, have not ever been effectively tested for safety.
Just because vaccination has such a noble intent doesn't mean it can't be harmful to babies; it also doesn't make it exempt from rigorous, objective scrutiny. The stakes (our children) are too high.
