children and vaccines?

Question

Do you stagger your childrens vaccines or do you get them as your aap recommends?

I meant the aap not your aap.

Answer 1

Unless you have a degree in medicine, I suggest you get them as recommended.

Answer 2

I do not give my children vaccines. I did much research on them and came to that conclusion. A few reasons why:

A person would not normally contract 5 diseases at one time naturally, yet at 2, 4 and 6 mth. visits a baby is injected with five vaccines.

There is no proof that vaccines are responsible for the decline in certain diseases - improved sanitation, medical care and less crowding may also have contributed to the decline in certain diseases. Most diseases decreased by over 95% BEFORE the introduction of vaccines.

By vaccinating children, many cases of certain diseases (ex. measles, chicken pox) have now shifted to the adult population where the disease is often more serious and debilitating.

Vaccines have not been tested for any possible carcinogenic (cancer causing), teratogenic (gene altering) effects or their effects on the reproductive system (it says this right in the product inserts from the manufacturers).

Vaccines are not 100% effective so the child can still get the disease even if they are vaccinated and a child can actually get a disease sometimes from the vaccine if it is a live vaccine.

After researching many of the diseases(like measles, mumps and polio), I found they are not as scary as the media hyped them to be, especially for a healthy immune system. Example: Polio is 90% asymptomatic.

The same amount of vaccine that is given to a 4 yr. old is given to an 18 mth. old and a 2 mth. old, etc.

I beleive the chance of dying or getting a serious side effect from the actual disease is much less than the chance of dying or getting an adverse reaction from the vaccine. The dieseases are not dangerous or deadly in most people.

I believe that injecting my children with things such as formaldehyde, aluminium, paint thinner, coolant, anti-freeze, detergent phenols, MSG, plus dead animal tissue, aborted fetus tissue, mutated human and animal viruses, bacteria, antibiotics and animal, bacterial and viral DNA, is not particularly a good idea.

Answer 3

do what is recommended if you get them too early they might need a booster shot later in life, and if you get them too late they might not be allowed to start school until they are all up to date. They are pretty much staggered now so do the child a favor most shots are done before they are old and remember they hurt!

Answer 4

As recommended. They have studies the vaccines and know when the baby most needs them.
