    Vaccines prevent diseases and have saved the lives of millions, so yes they are "good".

    Regarding that news article. The problem is, this is an unsubstantiated report. It's difficult to comment on because we don't know the full facts of the case. We also don't know if the children had any pre- existing medical conditions to begin with.

    There could have been a problem with that particular batch of vaccines ot they had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine, that's probably the only plausible reaction that would occur that quickly. The article then went on to say, "...We rushed to the doctor who gave them oxygen. But the babies had died by them. "

    No vaccination should be given unless there is resuscitation equipment available on the actual premises. If these babies had to be transferred to a hospital and were not given oxygen until they got there, thats a very long delay that can make the difference between life and death.

    However, no vaccine is 100% risk free, people can have severe reactions to anything, including food, but we don't stop eating food. If it was an allergic reaction, arguably if the appropriate precautions had been taken in the first place and prompt medical treatment was given, it's probably fair to say that there is a high chance death could have been avoided.

    And these rare events are no reason to think vaccines are bad and unsafe. Millions have these vaccines with no problems. And events like this are very uncommon.

    Edit: And I agree with Weise, events occurring like this at the exact same time are very rare....to the point of it being almost unbelievable. Although in theory it's plausible they could both be allergic to something in the vaccine given the fact they are related.

    David Icke is a crank and a fraud, so should be totally ignored.

    Reports such as this are designed to stir people up and make them adopt one's own way of thinking, however daft that may be. Typically such reports fail to mention very significant facts, such as pre-existing conditions, which have actually led to the problems rather than the vaccines which just happen to have been administered about the same time as the problem occurred.

    Actually, that's extremely rare. Two severe reactions at once is almost impossible, barring a defective batch. I'd bet something else happened.

    Considering vaccines have saved more than a quarter of a billion lives, yes they are very good.

    Edit: Allergies aren't entirely genetic. Even twins being allergic to the exact same thing to the same degree to kill them is stretching it.
