Question

I am coming toward the time when i have to make this decision myself...I have read all the documentaton on why i ,NEED. to get my baby vacinated...
PLEASE SEND ON YOUR WISDOM

Answer 1

I haven't opted completely against them, but this may help you. My mom worked out a compromise when I was little so that I was getting my immunizations, but I was only getting them one at a time instead of so many all at once. She said I was always behind on my vaccines, but it made her feel better to know that my immune system wasn't being overloaded. Growing up, I never ever got sick, even with a cold. I think part of it was because it made my immune system stronger instead of weakening it with so many vaccines. I will probably do the same with my children. It was a good compromise.

Answer 2

I have two boys on the austim spectrum. My oldest is very very mild but has issues such as Generalized Anxiety disorder, Central Auditory Processing Disorder, Sensory Intergration Disorder. My youngest is diagnosed Moderate autsim/ Severe language delay. My oldest didnt show any differences before and after being vaccinated. My youngest, however, had speech and was developing fine until he received his 18 month vaccination. Now was the vaccination alone that did this, I dont think so . I think he was born unable to eliminate the mercury. So it was a combination of heredity and the vaccination. He was born when the pharmecudical company started mass producing vaccination and upped there amount of thermerisol, which is a mercury based preservitive. Since then, they claim to have reduced the amounts. You can ask your doctor for the single vial, that contain smaller amount to no thermerasol. Then you have the debate , as you mention, that we as a society need the vaccinations. the vaccinations are a GOOD thing and always have been. Its the way they were handled during the mass production where they were giving kids 50 times the amount of mercury allowable in adults. Someday I hope Eli Lilly will have to pay for what they did. I would rather they paid for it then our country that has to pay for my sons SSI. You would think that our country, being as concerned as they are about Social Security would find the culprit and make them pay the difference. Oh well, Im rambling lol i suggest looking at the family background first ie. history of ADHD or allergies. If you dont think your child is prone to not expelling the metals, then dont feel bad for following through with getting him/her vaccinated. but if you feel that your family history shows some risks you can avoid being forced into vaccination by using religious reasons and a church can sign for you. Either decision you make, you are being a good parent and doing what you feel is best. Its a risk, yes, but so is not getting them. Just weigh your options and do enough research to help you feel comfortable in what you decided, gl!

Answer 3

We stopped vaccinating our oldest child after the 1st set. I did alot of research on the topic and decided that 1) most of the childhood illnesses are minor (mumps, chicken pox) and that althought they can cause damage, the vaccines are likely to cause damage as well.

I have worked in the mental retardation field and have several examples of mental retardation apparently caused by vaccines.

We decided that if we were going to vaccinate, we would wait until they are older so that if side effects of the vaccines occured, they would be able to tell us they don't feel good, my arm hurts, i can't feel my legs, etc.

After we decided to stop with our 1st child, my mother in law, a nurse, said that my wife's sister was unable to walk for about 8 hours after recieving a MMR shot at 15 months. Prior to the shot she was toddling around, got the shot and could barely crawl for the 8 hour period, cried incessantly, and didn't eat much. Now vaccine manufacturers would say the shot had nothing to do with that but I say different, especially since there are lots of other stories like that.

We have not vaccinated any of our other kids. I have never had the MMR vaccines (im 38) because I was allergic to eggs (which the vaccine has in it). To date, I have also never had measles, mumps or rubella.

I think you do the research, talk to a BUNCH of people, and make your own decision. For us, it made much more sense to wait until they are older, do a lot of things to keep their immune system (which God gave them for just such viruses) healthy, and they have been awesomely healthy.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

I had my son vaccinated when he was just born. they didn't tell me they were doing it. He was vaccinated for hepatitis B.-- a sexually transmitted disease and the vaccination wears off in several years. Does that make any sense to vaccinate a newborn for that when it wears off so soon? they say more vaccinations boost the immunity, but I haven't seen any proof in the studies I've read that would lead me to beleive that is the truth.
We decided against vaccinating him after that. I am glad that I did. I feel that the Hep B vaccine gave my son a very severe speech disorder. He never started talking, never babbled when he was a young baby. I feel very strongly that if I continued with the vaccination program as scheduled, I would have an autistic son on my hands. I just know this is what would have happened. My son however never got any illnesses. never a cough, a weeze, a sniffle up until he got his first cold at around three, that's when we started vaccinating him as scheduled so he could go to school.
My younger child is not being vaccinated. He hasn't had one and I never regret it. I am scared $hit of those vaccinations and you should be too. My younger son never gets sick, is healthier than me and my husband. I have a chronic illness on which I am dependent on drugs for the rest of my life, my mother and I are convinced it is the vaccines given to me as a baby which gave me this affliction.
The choice is yours but weigh the consequences heavily.
Keep in mind that this is a drug, and all drugs have side effects including death. Keep in mind that there used to be manditory wavers parents had to sign before their kids got vaccines which used to list a horror story of side effects, they stopped this because it "confused" the parents, now doctors and the whole medical community at large would like to push them as if they have no permanent damaging side effects at all!
Keep an open mind and remember to weigh out the odds of 1)the unlikely and uncertain odds of contracting one of the illnesses they are vaccinated for against 2) the odds of your child getting any number of permanent damaging side effects from the very certain vaccine.
Remember also they say one 'one in a million" a lot. that one in a million is the kid who died on the spot right after the vaccine at doctors office that they couldn't deny. Remember that 1 in 5 of ALL children these days has some form of autism spectrum disorder. 1 in 5?!, that has never been seen before, and if it is just better diagnosis, ask yourself: Where are all the autistic adults?

Answer 5

My friends had an issue with this...2 daughters and 1 son. They were having vaccinations on "schedule" but one daughter started having bad reactions to them. She started showing signs of autism so they stopped giving her the vaccines and everything "cleared up" The other 2 children continued to get theirs and had no problem. All 3 children are now happy healthy adults. It really is a personal choice - You are the parent and You know what is best for Your Child. Good Luck!

Answer 6

I opted out of having my son vaccinated. There are benefits, and there are downfalls. When I went back to work when he was 3, I was told there was no daycare in the city that would take him because he didn't have his vaccinations. I was also told that there was no public school that would take him. So, unless I was going to stay home till he was school aged, and THEN homeschool him myself, I had to get him vaccinated.. and it was DAMNED hard.. he was 3 and 1/2 getting 3 vaccinations at a time to catch up and he was not a happy little boy. Get your child vaccinated, it will save him alot of heartache later on.. and you.

Answer 7

We choose not to because of the research we have done. I am happy you are even investigating instead of going with the status quo. We believe the risks outweigh the benefits of vaccinations. Doctors push it, in my humble opinion, because the drug companies push it which is of course for money. Why would one inject a perfectly healthy baby with a foreign body. If your child gets measles, mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox, who cares?? We believe in healthy organic food for our children clean r.o. water and plenty of love. Guess what, our kids do not get sick. Our kids have never had medication of any sort. Their immune system is strong and healthy. Continue your research and good luck. Oh, by the way, keep in mind that part of the money collected to vaccinate kids is given to a federal fund that is used to pay off parents of kids injured and killed because of vaccines.

I have heard it causes metal poisoning in their blood but I am not sure if that is true
