My take-away's:

Although I was not here for the presentations on the vaccine exploration, I still went back to understand a few take-away's from it. I noticed that all of the vaccines listed had less than 20 ingredients, which is fascinating that a certain amount of a chemical combined with another amount of a chemical can combine to fight off an illness. I also noticed that most are not toxic on their own in normal quantities; however, in high quantities, a lot become toxic to the body.
