Do anyone think the the Hepatitis B vaccination is truly necessary for a newborn to have?

Question

There is proof to show that their is mercury in these shots and can cause neurological disorders in infants including autism, epilepsy, retardation, etc. I'm not sure whethe I want my son to have it. I am 7 months pregnant and due Dec. 8, 2006. I am really freaking out because my brother and got son has autism and doctors think it's because of the shot they were administered during their 1st days of life. What do yall think?

Answer 1

Definitely not.

Do NOT get vaccinated.

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.

My son had these shots as a newborn (well 3 shots over 6 months) nearly 25 years ago. His father had thoughtfully contracted Hep B by using drugs I.V. which I didn't realise until his colour matched Homer Simpson's. This was before the Simpson's, I was young and naive and just didn't know.
The vaccination was brand new then and I felt grateful to be offered something to protect my son.
In the UK this shot isn't mandatory. In light of this, you can only weigh up the risks. My son was fine, apart from a hot, sore arm the first time and less but still uncomfortable spots in his thigh for the next two. (I pointed out that arms are smaller than thighs, and my GP agreed.)
At the time my doctor was quite honest with me saying he knew nothing about the vaccination or the risks involved. That was a long time ago now and I don't know of any serious concerns that have been raised since and non at all connected with autism, not for the Hep B vaccination. Millions and millions of people have had it worldwide, and at all ages. If there were significant risks they would have shown themselves by now.
Still, it's your baby and only you can make that decision.
Congratulations and all the best.

Hepatitis B is contracted through sexual contact or sharing needles. So no, I absolutely disagree with administering the Hep B vaccine at birth. This vaccine carries a high incidence rate of reactions and vaccine injuries. A woman I know lost her newborn daughter to massive sepsis caused by the Hep B vaccine. :-(

It's important to understand why vaccine policy decisions are made. In the case of Hep B, they saw a very small adult population at risk and decided to prophylactically treat the *entire* population to cover the less than 1% at risk. Administering the vax at birth guarantees they "catch" everyone. But it definitely disregards the risks of the vacine, especially on a newborn with an immature immune system and no blood-brain barrier to keep toxins from entering the brain.

We declined the Hep B with both our children. They can choose to get it or not when they are teenagers.

Answer 4

There is no mercury in vaccines. None at all. Thimeresol used to be used as a preservative in vaccines but it has been removed from the entire supply of vaccines used in the United States for over 5 years. Vaccines are very safe. Numerous, well controlled, well researched studies have been done to find out if there is a link between autism and vaccines. There is none. Autism has a definite genetic component. If you are truly worried about the possibility of having a child with autism please request a referral to a genetic counselor. They will be able to help you estimate your risk and provide you with resources to answer your questions about your baby.
The fact that your doctor believes that the shot "caused" the autism is very alarming. Apparently he or she has not been following current evidence based practice or research for the past decade. Please consider finding a medical professional who stays up to date on current best practice.
Hepatitis B can be spread to the newborn during delivery. It attack the liver cells and is deadly to babies. While liver transplants can be used, if the child has hepatitis B he/she is not a candidate for transplantation and will die.
The Centers for Disease Control www.cdc.gov has an excellent section on vaccines. Please look through the information. Vaccines have saved millions of lives. Please consider if you truly want to leave your child vulnerable to diseases that maim and kill.

Answer 5

Remember this one fact, your baby is YOURS.........YOU tell the Dr. whether you want or don't want the Hep B shot. You can always give those shots later on in your babys life. According to the state that you live in.......most schools require a Hep B series before a child can enter school. I would not worry about this right now........just take care of YOU and your BABY. When the time comes up then express your feelings to the Dr. Good Luck !!!

Answer 6

I think it is ridiculous to vaccinate an infant against a disease that is contracted through sex and sharing of needles. The Hep B vaccine was developed to protect promiscous people, prostitutes, gay men and IV drug users. The vaccine program was a resounding failure, as none of these groups of people were interested in going in to receive the vaccine. So the recommendation changed to vaccinate newborns, since pediatricians have ready access to them. So no, unless your newborn is having unsafe sex and shooting up with dirty needles, I do not feel that the Hep. B shot is necessary.

Answer 7

You don't have to get ANY of the vaccines on the "RECOMENDED" schedule. You are right in thinking that the vaccines can cause major problems. They can have serious and sometimes deadly reactions. Plus they do not provide life time 100% immunity.

You DO NOT have to get the vaccines for schools. Almost all states offer some exemptions, and anyone can get a religious exemption regardless of their personal medical beliefs. They cannot, legally, ask you your religious belief. It would be discriminitaion.

Answer 8

Hep B is the stupidest shot to be given to a newborn. It's transmitted through sex and IV drug use!

You might want to visit mothering.com/discussions There is a vaccination forum that can answer any of your questions.

Edited to add: As for the "They need them for school" argument: Most states offer waivers that mean your child can go to school without ANY vaccinations.

Answer 9

I seen that people have been sayin that it is your baby... your choice... That is all true. But think about this, why do you think that we have doctors for... To help keep us safe. If it wasent necessary for them to have why would they advice you to give it to them. I know if I would love my son I would most definatley get his shots when they were sapose to NO questions asked. The doctor knows more than me and if you dont have a doctor that you do trust then you are screwed! But we do have doctors for a reason. They want your baby to be healthy from day 1 I would be the responable parent and get there shots when they are told to. The doctors know what they r talkin about! Also when were they born in teh 80's or 90's? Technology has so much advanced now. I seriously would not worry. I really doubt that it came from the shots. Because if that were the case then they would of had like a world wide spread in a way. Maybe it might just run in your family. But seriously dont forget we do live in the 21st century. New ways are always comming around!Good Luck

Answer 10

The shot your talking about is the MMR vaccination.... there is NO definate proof at first they were saying it contained mercury but after studies were made both in canada and in the usa... there is no mercury and the shot doesnt have anything to do with autism and other abnormalties....
