Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I opted out through a religious exemption when they wanted to give my daughter the chicken pox vaccine in grade six because I felt the possible long tern consequences of the vaccine were unknown and possible worse than the disease. I grew up in an era when their were few vaccines and we all got measles and mumps and chicken pox and still grew up healthier than the kids today. It is incredible the number of vaccines this generation gets compared to what my older children who are in their 20s received. Vaccinations are no longer about health they are about money. Giving a day old baby a vaccine for a disease that is cause by sex and drugs is ridiculous. Pushing to get boys vaccinating against a disease that supposedly stops uterine cancer is a joke and the proof is slight that it even helps girls. Today we are seeing more and more children suffering from autism, asthma. And juvenile diabetes among other things, There are some theories regarding the fact that childhood diseases are necessary to train the immune system. In Chinese medicine, measles is considered a rite of passage to clear toxins built up in utero. There is also some evidence that these excessive vaccines are setting our kids up for autoimmune diseases, It is my opinion and that of many researches that vaccines cause more problems than they solve. If I had it to do all over again I would have claimed religious exemptions for all of my children even if it meant having to become a member of a specific church.
