[Leslie Carol Botha: Another vaccine aimed at women.  Although we may fear breast cancer... injecting toxins into our breast tissue should frighten women even more.  Where will these toxins be stored? How will this affect breastfeeding?  Will these toxins directly go into breast milk?  And then there is the whole issue of puncturing a potential tumor and sending the cancerous cells further into the breast, bloodstream or lymph nodes. And remember, vaccines are given to women without regard to wear they are in the menstrual cycle.  If you choose this [Full text...]
