It’s a horrible sloppy article which lumps together a whole lot of things and doesn’t make it clear at all what is being claimed to cause what and which claims have been shown to have any merit. I’m betting that anti-vaxxers around the world use such articles to claim that vaccines are harmful to humans even though the article is about pet products and the vaccine reactions in particular are not even discussed – the word “vaccine” just seems to be thrown in to scare people and attract attention.

Then there are all the “doctors” with their own products to sell in the place of vaccines and all the unsourced quotes that are well out of context.

In other words, you find this page impressive enough to go sharing it with your name attached to the comment?

Philip Incao, M.D.

Its not just this vaccine, wow get your blinders off.

Good to see that they didn’t air them. http://factsnotfantasy.com/vaccines.php was a link that I provided to them.
