Michigan mom says she could face jail time for not vaccinating her sonBy ABC NEWS Sep 29, 2017, 9:48 AM ET
Rebecca Bredow, of the Detroit area, told ABC News that she would "absolutely" rather go to jail than vaccinate her son.
I would rather go to jail for standing up for what I believe in than vaccinating my child, Bredow said, adding she believes the decision to vaccinate your child is a personal choice.
"God forbid if he were to be injured by a vaccine," Bredow said. "I would have to take care of him."
"It is our position that this case is not truly about vaccinations," Richardson said. "It is a case about Ms. Bredow refusing to comport with any number of the court's orders and actively seeking to frustrate Mr. Horne's joint legal custody rights."

The anti-vaccine crap started based on lies and fraudulent data. What makes you think they wouldn't have blamed any other preservative or something else about the vaccines?
There are still people who are anti-vaccine even when there is zero thimerisol. Corporate America is responsible for many fails, but not this one.

Hasn't been for quite a while.
