It would be interesting to know if there has been any comparative research done between Japan and the USA ... what are their rates (prevalence/incidence) of diseases that are targeted by vaccines compared to the US;


This next link is an editorial, almost a rant, but the writer makes some valid points:

1) Don't settle for just the VIS (Vaccine Information Sheet), read and research as much as you
     can prior to receiving any vaccine.
2) Post-marketing studies amount to participating in research which may subsequently
     demonstrate the presumed benefit was not as great as previously thought from
     pre-marketing clinical trials.
3) Post-marketing studies may show risks that were not demonstrated in clinical trials
    done prior to approval. Wider use (ie: after FDA approval) in greater numbers of
    people may be necessary before un-desired side effects are revealed.
