The question is still up in the air, so use caution. What is "caution"? "Caution" is not letting someone give your kid a dozen vaccinations at the same time to save time and money. It's not just a lot of thimoseral; it might be that hitting the immature immune system with so many challenges at the same time is going to overwhelm something.

There is a bug in the Answerbag program and has been for two years now which they don't seem competent to solve, and that is that they often don't allow replies to comments, so here is my reply to the insulting reply of Theocidal Maniac to my defense of a post. You must be losing the argument; you've resorted to insults, which mainly show that you don't know what you're talking about. How do you know how many eggs I consume and for how many years? What makes you think I didn't immunize my kids? I did--just not 20 diseases at a time, and they are all grown up and healthy. Experiment on your own kids if you want to. (I believe every child should be immunized against almost everything.) I'm waiting for a scientific study to show what East European doctors already suspect, that salmonella contamination comes from outside an egg that wasn't adequately washed before being cracked open. What makes eggs unhealthy is less likely to be salmonella than it is to be all the fat, salt and calories we consume with them; I take mine raw to keep my weight down, and for me it works. There is a "gamble" there, but far less of one. In fact, I KNOW I will die young of a heart attack unless I keep my weight down, but salmonella is just a faint possibility. My numbers are correct. Most people consume no raw eggs and few if any undercooked. I've had several a day, raw, for many years. That adds up to at least 12,000. I won't stoop to your level and resort to insults, since they add nothing to my arguments as they added nothing to yours.
