I didn't necessarily think it was BS when it first came out, because some people do have neurological conditions which make them react badly. Heck, some people have conditions which make them die from peanuts, but this doesn't mean that peanuts are terrible and we can never eat them, you know?
she could be full of crap but I think that the important thing to remember is that there ARE risks and you should NEVER just blindly do something without weighing the pros and cons. (for example 9 people die a year in the US from the polio vaccine but HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE OF POLIO?)
World Health and the Eradication of Polio The discovery and use of polio vaccines has all but eliminated polio in the Americas. In 1960, there were 2,525 cases of paralytic polio in the United States. By 1965, there were 61. Between 1980 and 1990, cases averaged 8 per year, and most of those were induced by vaccination! There has not been a single case of polio caused by the wild virus since 1979, with a rare case reported each year from persons coming into the country carrying the virus. In 1994, polio was declared eradicated in all of the Americas
