For example, this CDC bulletin from 2003 says this about LAIV: "Because LAIV contains live influenza viruses, a potential exists for transmission of these viruses from vaccines to other persons." The CDC and the WHO know full well that disease has been transmitted – albeit rarely – by way of multi-dose vaccine bottles. Citing 19 studies – that’s right, 19 – that show these bottles to be a potential source of infection, as well as transmitters of diseases like hepatitis, the CDC and the WHO in 2003 drew up guidelines regarding the use of multi-dose bottles.

However, if does not disprove all the mounds of other research out there about the many other issues vaccinations can cause. Autism is something that is a mystery, there are probably many environmental and non environmental causes that trigger this illness in children. Vaccines may be a potential trigger, & it may not be the "cause" but we just don't, at this point in time, really know for sure. Vaccines are linked to ADD, ADHD, MS, Seizures, Learning disorders, Asthma etc etc etc... and thats and ARE- not a maybe. Its best if parents take time to research each individual "disease" that we now think are horrendous illnesses that our children could be getting and understand the statistics on those individually first before we start pumping our children full of things that in many cases have risks that can outweigh the benefits. :) (enjoyed the commented link of that too). :) On a side note about the recent debunking Dr. Wakefield findings against MMR… its unfortunate, if it is true, that this doctor took the measures that he did to “bend” the truth of his study.

Symptoms of the mumps for example are similar to a mild flu. We did our research on the illnesses and the risks of something bad happening if our children got them, & were suprised to learn that the risks are so minimal, and in most of these diseases are so mild in nature with severe risks stats in the single digits (i.e-less than 4% would develop any major complication from the illness) that for us was enough to say NO to vaccinations. Many parents believe its best for their children to have the vaccine bc its 'better than getting the disease', but many times thats not true. More often than not outbreaks of diseases happen among mainly vaccinated children & communities then non vaccinated. Some of the research out there is incredible. I had a wonderful opportunity to sit under a group of doctors who walked us all through their medical journals (unpublished to the public) that show us how many studies are out there that prove vaccines aren't safe or as effective as we are led to believe they are. :) Thankfully getting most of these “diseases” we vaccinate against in a healthy child is not a severe emergency.
