I am a soldier in the U.S. Army and I did not start having seizures until I had vaccanations to go over seas... it was my first seizure ever.. and now they have gotten worse.. so this is my reason I do believe vaccines can cause seizures... I wish this upon no one, no matter how mad they make me!! Hope everyone lives a normal and healthy life!! GOD BLESS!!
