Merck Focusing on Combination Vaccine

[Guest guest]

so the same day (26th) we have two news stories one that Merck

decides to stop making MMR seperately while the other story reports

the dangers of combined MMR (Its Compromising Of The Mucosal Immune

System)

Did Merck miss something? of course its all about saving money and

making MONEY for Merck ~~!!!!! How could they decide this, I thought

more and more parents are getting informed and requesting seperate

shots today? Who is still allowing their child to be given combined

MMR today - unbelievable !

If the monovalent vaccines given on a slower schedule had been PROVEN to be safer -

seems as if Merck and Company would have some serious liability issues.
