Why wouldn't I want to have a shot that had HCG in it? That one's pretty easy to answer. HCG is the hormone produced by the baby when you become pregnant. When piggy backed in a vaccine what effect do you think that might have? There have been at least 5 cases in 3 different continents within the last 10 years where up to 20% of tetanus and rubella vaccines have been found "contaminated" with HCG. How HCG has found it's way into vaccines at all is beyond me! I want more kids, and have never had issues with fertility, I'm not going to do something that might cause miscarriages.
Hep B shot is made on mutated yeast, yeast can be very damaging (particularly as my DD and I have a proven yeast intolerance) and I am very low risk of ever getting hep B. Rotavirus has been found to be contaminated with porcine circovirus 1. They say it's safe but type 2 of PC has been shown to rewrite DNA causing malformations in the lungs and lymph nodes - call me cynical, but I don't have a lot of trust that a different strain of the same thing might not do similar things. Rota may be a nasty case of gastro, but in the western world the risk/benefits don't way up IMO. As for the other two I added, cervical vax is based upon an assumption and is untested - I am not a lab rat, and I have a very low chance of catching HPV anyway, and similar reasons with the flu shot. And at the end of the day I don't think vaccines are that effective. I've seen them go from the holy grail that protects against all disease, to protecting most people against disease, to a you may still get it - it just wont be as bad. I think they're a false messiah, and quarantine, good nutrition and hygiene are much better preventers of disease.
