After reading other questions-Some believe non-vaxed kids can give their kid illnesses? If you vaccinate your children, don't you think those vaccines will protect them from this?

thanx for the history lesson cub, I have done my research. It's funny that you bring up ancient times, we now get to eat healthy and don't eat where we poop-thanx. Lol at dying of chicken pox, I survived because like most people-I'm not immune compromised! The latest cases of polio were caused by the vaccine itself, FYI!

oh also, if anyone has read my previous answers a PEDIATRICIAN recommended that we don't vax for now because of autism in my family. Trust me, I've done my research!

JD:you can still pass on diseases if you are vaccinated. If your kid can drop dead of a sneeze you shouldn't take them in public. I am thinking of my kids, I am not doing this to bring back diseases, I am doing this to protect my child.
And for crying out loud, will people stick to the original question instead of criticizing my choices!

Because parents that do vaccinate (most) do not do their research and have no idea what they are talking about. I also do not vaccinate. 2% chance of death is too high for me. Not considering that the percentage is higher then that and those doctors are dirty liars making money.

As a parent that does get my children vaccinated. I had never really gave it much thought on wheather non-vaxed kids can harm the vaxed kids. I had been vaccinated as a child and same with my husband I was told when I was pregnant with my first child, when they had tested me to see if I had ever had the chicken pox, the doctors told me that I have had it, but I have never broke out with the spots. I think there is really no way to prevent illnesses but vaccines can help to make the illnesses more milder then what it can be without the vax. Where I live, in order for the children to go to preschool or public school the children has to be vaccinated or they will not allow them to attend. But each school and town is different. But to me personally, children are like a petri dishes when it comes to illness's no matter if it's the chicken pox, colds or the flu.There gonna end up getting it and spread it around. It's just like with the flu shot. I made sure to get my children the flu shot because in the past everytime they had the flu(when they didn't get the flu shot), they ended up in the hospital but now after getting the flu shot, they still get it but not as bad and it keeps them out of the hospital.

My children and I are both vac. I guess I can see your point of view. Maybe you don't trust doctors or something. But my question to you is why do want to bring back illinesses that can hurt and even kill so many people. I am going into the medical field and have classes that teach us on these past illinesses, the only reason why they are making a come back is because some people think that being vac is not right, going to hurt them in some way, the doctors are wanting to more money, ect. That is not the reason. It's so that our children stay healthy. Yes, they may still get the illiness that they were vac from, but it will not be as severe. Look at the measles, how often do you see people with them? The reason is because of vacs. Another example is, what if your children or you are carrying an illiness and go around someone with no or almost no immune system? You could actually kill them. I know that for a fact. I have a cousin that is nine years old and has CMV. The way he got was from someone that sneezed on him when he was an infant. Now his immune system is almost gone. If someone would go around him with an illiness of one of these magnatudes it would kill him. You can't just think of yourself in this case, you also have to think of others and YOUR KIDS.

Hmm.. I just read in the paper recently about a girl who traveled overseas (her parents didnt believe in vaccinations) and she brought back a disease, and then spread it to children at a dance studio. You would think those children would have been safe b/c they were probably up to date on shots, but immunizations are needed periodically while children are young. One dose doesn't cure all.

DUH do you want your kid to die from chicken pox/polio/rubella? These are proven to save lives! Or perhaps a gun would be more efficient? Can't afford the doctor fees?
The GAVI Alliance (GAVI) (formerly The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) is an alliance between different stakeholders, in both the private and public sectors, committed to the mission of saving children's lives and protecting people's health through the worldwide expansion of mass vaccination programs.
By Roman times, it was well understood that proper diversion of human waste was a necessary tenet of public health in urban areas. The Chinese developed the practice of variolation following a smallpox epidemic around 1000 BC. An individual without the disease could gain some measure of immunity against it by inhaling the dried crusts that formed around lesions of infected individuals. Also, children were protected by inoculating a scratch on their forearms with the pus from a lesion. This practice was not documented in the West until the early-1700s, and was used on a very limited basis. The practice of vaccination did not become prevalent until the 1820s, following the work of Edward Jenner to treat smallpox.

During the 14th century Black Death in Europe, it was believed that removing bodies of the dead would further prevent the spread of the bacterial infection. This did little to stem the plague, however, which was most probably spread by rodent-borne fleas. Burning areas of cities resulted in much greater benefit, since it removed the rodent infestations. The development of quarantine in the medieval period helped mitigate the effects of other infectious diseases. However, according to Michel Foucault, the plague model of governmentality was to be opposed to the later cholera model. Cholera, which second pandemic devastated Europe between 1829 and 1851, was first fought by the use of what Foucault called "social medecine", which focused on flux, circulation of air, location of cemeteries, etc. All those concerns, born of the miasma theory of disease, were thus mixed with urbanistic concerns of the management of populations, which Foucault designed by the concept of "biopower".

The science of epidemiology was founded by John Snow's identification of a polluted public water well as the cause of an 1854 cholera outbreak in London. Dr. Snow believed in the germ theory of disease as opposed to the prevailing miasma theory. Although miasma theory taught correctly that disease is a result of poor sanitation, it was based only upon the prevailing theory of spontaneous generation. Microorganisms, which are now known to cause many of the most common infectious diseases, were first observed around 1680 by Anton van Leeuwenhoek. But the modern era of public health did not begin until the 1880s, when the culmination of Robert Koch's germ theory and Louis Pasteur's production of artificial vaccines revolutionized the study of infectious disease.

i like how all of us, no remember what technology they're from, says "Oh WE have been spanked growing to be up and have been sooo lots greater efficient behaved" and then they think of that for the time of the subsequent technology after them, no person replaced into spanked and youngsters grew to become terrible.

I understand what you mean, but children don't get all their vaccinations once they are born! There are time periods in (vaccinated) children's lives when they are not fully protected.

why wouldn't you vaccinate? Do you want your children to catch a horrible illness? All vaccines are not 100% so I would worry as a parent.

Because vaccines are not 100% and the more people that don't vaccinate, the more chance there is of preventable diseases like polio resurfacing.

It is stupid not to vaccinate, none of your sources are crediable, medical sources. The best of the best recommend vaccinating and I think they know more than you or some hippie site.
