Parents against vaccines?!?

many years ago there was a study done that showed a correlation between some vaccines and autism. That study was quickly discredited and it was concluded that there is no link between a vaccine and neurological disorders. However some swear that their child became autistic after getting vaccinated, never mind that autism is diagnosed after the time most children receive their vaccines so it's kind of like saying my child got autism after getting teeth. Anyway yes there are possible side effects to vaccinations but they are less sever then the diseases can be and vaccinating helps protect everyone not just your child. A friend of mine recently was exposed to rubella while she was pregnant. She went to a play group where several parents had chosen not to vaccinate their children and measles went around, if those children had been vaccinated it would not have put her at risk. That said I facilitate parent programs and have had to ask parents not to bring their kids around for a few weeks after getting the chicken pox vaccine because they shed the modified virus and I've had shingles out breaks as a result.

Well many vaccines are good but, parents want to be careful about "newer" vaccines. My mom is the exact same way..she is not denying me health in the least , but actually watching out to see possible side-effects from not so necessary vaccines that doctors are trying to push. I probably would never recommend taking a vaccine that has been around less than 10 years. Especially ones that are basically promising you to live forever. AND!!! this is mostly just personal but, whenever i get vaccinated with like the Flu vaccine or something similar i always wind up getting sick from the liveinfection anyway!

There are some people that think its some huge conspiracy theory.

But, Autism becomes diagnosable around the same time that these shots are given. All of the shots used to and many still do contain mercury, and people drew a false causal relationship between the mercury and the autism. Mercury does not cause autism, but it CAN cause mercury poisoning, which has simular symptoms to autism, and can be reversed with proper diet and exercise.

There is no clear cut evidence to prove that the shots cause autism. However, there is also no clear cut evidence to prove that it doesnt.

There are misconceptions that unvaccinated children are not allowed to go to public schools, but that is untrue. They are allowed to go to public schools, but the lack of vaccination has to be documented. All states allow for medical exemption (if there is a medical reason the child cannot have the shots, and sometimes there is.. for example I am currently unvaccinated after my bone marrow transplant, and cannot revaccinate while I am on anti rejection meds) most states allow for a religious exemption, and a couple of states allow for a couple of other reasons.

The problem is that with the growing number of unvaccinated children through parental choice or illegal immigration, diseases like the measles are being given oppurtunity to come back. Some people are all like, well, I had measles (there are people alive old enough to say that) and it didnt make me that sick. Maybe... then. What people dont understand is in that virtually irradicating it, for out breaks to happen and spread, the virus will have mutated in order to survive in vaccinated individuals.... Much like regular staph to MRSA and then VRSA. I realize that is bacteria, not virus, but it works the same way.

You may not be bashing anyone, leave that to me. Vaccines are the reason why some diseases are virtually nonexistent today. The people who are against the legally required childhood vaccines are morons who are playing with the lives of their children (who can't make informed decisions). Are any of these nitwits scientists or doctors? No, they're hippie wanna be's. I can understand saying, "hmm, I'm a 25 year old with shaggy pits and the HPV vaccine seems so unnatural," but to not take you baby in for a Hep B or PCV is boarderline child endangerment.

It just blows my mind that parents would choose not to have their kids vaccinated. Can you imagine having to explain that to a mother in the Congo who's children are dying of preventable diseases? "Oh yeah, we have medicine here that prevents you from even getting that disease! But I just don't know how I feel about all those darn preservatives..."

In my opinion, I would correlate the rise in diagnosed cases of autism to the improvement of our abilities to diagnose autism, rather than vaccinations. Our medical knowledge is advancing and improving every day, and I think that that allows us to better diagnose and identify autism now than 20 years ago, and it's just a coincidence that we also happen to use more vaccinations. Common vaccinations have never been proven to cause autism. And to the person who cited how there are way less cases of autism among Amish communities who do not vaccinate their children, do you really think the Amish (in most cases) have access to competent enough medical care to even know whether or not their child is autistic? My guess is that there are probably many undiagnosed autistic Amish children, and the frequency is probably similar to that of mainstream society.

Basically, I think choosing not to vaccinate your children is absolutely ridiculous, and unfair to the child. At least let them choose if they'd rather have a shot or a potentially deadly disease..

i'm no longer against vaccines, yet do no longer choose people who settle directly to have an adjusted vaccine time table (or no time table in any respect). all of us might desire to make annoying parenting options. besides, I did do a splash prognosis in this subject remember jointly as i grow to be pregnant. In maximum states, there are non secular waivers which would be signed as a fashion to deliver your new child to public college without vaccines. In another states, there are different waivers apart from religion which would be signed as nicely. some human beings choose domicile education, yet there are various great ideas obtainable, which comprise unfastened online shape colleges that are "public" in the adventure that your state does not have any waivers. interior the hospital, you could desire to sign earlier they're going to provide your toddler the hepatitis shot, so i think that people who do no longer choose their new child to have this vaccine does no longer sign the waiver and can keep away from the youngster getting the shot. in case you're adamant approximately your determination, it incredibly is counseled to easily change docs. There are might a doctor obtainable who will provide somebody a annoying time as vaccinations usher in money for pediatric workplaces (you will locate this maximum many times in workplaces that take government aided scientific insurances, and to be sparkling the money does not come from the vaccines themselves however the "month-to-month to bi-month-to-month wellbeing care visits. as an occasion my contemporary pediatrician delays vaccination so as that a new child has to return in each and each month to get photos and to get extra money from the government.) some docs are oftentimes honest approximately vaccines and don't believe a at the back of schedule vaccination time table or no vaccination time table in any respect. yet once you attitude that style of wellbeing practitioner, they are able to no longer rigidity a vaccine on your new child in case you're against it. So, in simple terms get out of there and locate yet another wellbeing practitioner. a lot of human beings seek for a doctor earlier they even have their new child to make certain the wellbeing practitioner's view on vaccines. some will do a at the back of schedule time table, some will keep away from them altogether in simple terms for you and a few would be adamant that they might desire to be carried out.

its terribly ignorant and arrogant to think that you as a parent with your average education know more about vaccines than the doctors than have been working for hundreds of years one them

TB was eradicated for a while in Europe till we had immigrants come in un vaccinated

Ok, I am going to try to give as short an answer as possible. If you want links to resources, contact me and I would be happy to provide what I have.

We do not vaccinate.

There are too many unknowns for me. Too many risks, too many side effects, too many uncertainties. Let's step out of the media-hyped autism link debacle....we'll focus on the facts.

One fact being that most of what we vaccinate for today was ALREADY declining in numbers dramatically before the introduction of mass inoculations here in the United States. Another fact is that some of the preservatives used in vaccinations carry fairly frightening side effects, or completely go against what we know to be safe. Formaldehyde for example (this is what they use for embalming. It's highly toxic). They also use some questionable cells and tissue from other genetic means to create vaccines. Monkey, chicken and even aborted fetal tissue included (you can find this information on the CDC website).

Research data has shown that vaccinations wear off, or sometimes create symptomatic results that would be worse than the actual illness you're vaccinating against in the first place. Chicken Pox is a great example. Do you know any children that died from CP? I don't.

And I'll beat a dead horse and echo that I certainly do believe there is a connection between the over-vaccination of our children in regards to the increasing number of diagnosed autism cases. Coincidentally, do you know there are almost no cases of autism among the Amish (who elect not to vaccinate either).

IDK...My children are vaccinated only because it's mandatory to attend public schools. Anyways, from my understanding the vaccines basically infects them with the disease so that they body can later become immune to it. Some of those "shots" are unecessary b/c only 3rd world countries have those type of diseases. We may never come in contact with those diseases in our lifetime.

I do disagree...but I don't oppose b/c the United States require us to be vaccinated even to get into colleges.

nothing wrong with just some parents reading things that it links to autism and it doesn't. and some parents say it contains all kinds of chemicals and of course it does but if they were alive when the vaccines were not around they would feel differently I am sure.
