Do you give you children vaccines?

Question

If yes why and if no why?Have you researched it or do you just do whatever the Doctor says?Do you know what is in the vaccines or that kids have died from them?

Answer 1

yes i have had my children vaccinated...its true some children have died from being allergic etc..but the thing is vaccines have saved more lives than they have harmed..read up on small pox and measles...how many have we saved..you sacrifice some for many..and that statement in itself is sad..but its true

Answer 2

I don't have kids yet, but when I do, they WILL be vaccinated! I have worked in health care for 13 years, mostly with the pediatric population, and I have seen some NASTY stuff in non-vaccinated children. It is true that some conditions seem to be linked to certain vaccines, but I will always feel that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Answer 3

I have researched it. I actually have to be revaccinated with all the shots in a two year time period as a result of the stem cell transplant I just had to treat my leukemia.

I am worried about allergic reactions, but I am going to get them. I think the possibility of contracting those illnesses and starting an epidemic is more than the chance of a negative reaction to the shot.

If we looked this way at things, there would be a lot of things people would never give their children. For example, a lot of people are highly allergic to nuts, to a fatal point. But we still introduce nuts and peanut butter to the diet at a few years old.

Answer 4

Yes, I've researched this. Not vaccinating is paranoid and nonsensical, diseases are far more serious and much more likely than any side effects from the vaccines.

Answer 5

Yes I did, it is incredibly irresponsible not to. Many more have died from smallpox, measles, polio, and other preventable diseases than from the vaccines.

Answer 6

vaccines are very very important! most these days are synthetic, so where they used to get a low dose of the disease so the body learnt how to fight it, they now make some cells which look like the disease but don't act like it.
