Shots??? Good or Bad??

Question

I have been hearing conflicting things about child immunazations. It puts the virus in the childs body, right? I have heard now, that is not good for kids, and you can opt not to get them. But now a days you cant even get your kiddo into daycare or school without them. Is there any way around it?

Answer 1

It puts a completely inert version of the virus in the child's body. This version of the virus cannot make the child sick.

Talk to the pediatrician if your child has any allergies or special health problems. Otherwise I would say absolutely get the shots. They have prevented hundreds of thousands of crippling diseases and premature deaths.

Some private schools may not require it but they are probably religious schools.

This is your decision but you asked for opinions. Get them immunized. Absolutely.

Answer 2

One thing to consider is delaying starting shots so your baby can develope an immune system before they start to pump them full of viruses. You can tell the school you've opted not to get them and except the risks. They might try to bully you but only a private school can refuse a child. If all the other kids have had their shots how can they say you're endangering them?

Answer 3

That depends on which state you live in. Mississippi and West Virginia are the only states in the US that do not have some kind of excuse for you to opt out of vaccinations. There are medical reasons (allergic to something in the shot), philosophical reasons (don't agree with vaccinations) or religious reasons (church of scientology). Should you opt out, you may have difficulty getting you child admitted into school. The school may say that they are putting all the other children at risk. Home-school and private schools may be more lenient.

Answer 4

There are many arguments for both vaccinating and not vaccinating.

Personally, I think not vaccinating is a bit insane, given all the health risks associated with not vaccinating. THere are shots you can choose to opt out of (hepatitis, chicken pox, rotovirus etc), but the core MMR, DTaP have been around for YEARS and no longer pose health risks as the mercury has been removed from the shot formulary.

You can show the school proof of a religious or a consciencious choice as to why you have not vaccinated that is signed by a doctor. That will be enough to have them admitted to school without the shots.

Answer 5

A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at

You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

Answer 6

There are diseases like small pox that they thought had been completely annihilated and recently they are making a return. The same with Polio. It's very rare that there is a reaction from the immunizations. I guess you have to weigh out whether or not you want to risk your child's life. If you don't mind going through Small Pox and the risk of losing your child, then I'd forgo them. If it concerns you even a little then I'd definitely immunize them. My children were immunized out of pure love for them. Best wishes on your decision.

Answer 7

the only way around this is if your religion says no doters and no medication and in that case you have to show proof like baptisms . and on the shots thing i think its good to get them yes they put live viruses in your child its to help their system to become immune to them like for instances i have a 9 , 6 and 3 year old and they all got the chicken pox's vaccination's when they were supposed to and this summer i babysat 3 little girls who all came down with them 1 day after i had had them all week and my kids were around them all that time and never got them i had the girls for 12 hour days so i think it helps to get them . but that is only my opinion. but this is the only way i know that you can go with out having to get the vaccinations. so good luck with what ever decision you make . hope this helped

Answer 8

Actually, there are ways around it. If you object for religious reasons or there is one other objection, you can't be forced to make your children take shots. There is some good stuff on the internet you might want to search out. SID has been linked by some as a baby's reaction against a particular shot. You do have legal rights and should check into it.

Answer 9

The odds of your child having any reaction to an immunization is very small. It does happen occasionally. I can't imagine not immunizing my children. The fact of the matter is it will be almost impossible to get your kids into public school if they haven't been vaccinate.

Answer 10

Shots, GOOD!

There is a rise in cases of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella thanks to people who run around saying shots are bad and we need to avoid them. Children are dieing.

There are some who's religious beliefs do not let them allow their children to be immunized. They have to be let into schools because our Constitution says so. Hopefully God will protect them.

But their are others who think injecting a weakened or dead virus into a child's body to protect them for the rest of their life from DIEING, from a now preventable disease is bad and therefore don't immunize their children. (money is not an object, immunizations are available almost anywhere for free if you look hard enough)
These people are not protected by the constitution and should, in my mind, be arrested for child endangerment.
