Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 I hate that they push the vaccinations on BABIES when there is all this medical research that says their immune systems aren't fully developed yet. That means you SHOULDN'T expose them on purpose but either they twist it around to say that's why you should OR they're just plain dumb and don't bother to read anymore once they've gotten their license (to kill...ack). Then when your child starts missing developmental milestones it's too late to go back and determine if it was the vaccines that did it (after all what other @#*! do we actually force into our kids??? well i can think of one but I won't go there) or if there was a genuine physical ailment your child was born with? So many parents walk around thinking 'this doesn't make sense' but never really voice it to others and so (or worse go to another doctor for a second opinion - bad choice on this one), miss an opportunity to hear someone else say 'me too'. They end up just doing it 'cuz they can't find support in being confident enough to listen to their own voice. Please call 1-800-909 SHOT or visit www.909shot.com to find out about how to report a bad vaccine reaction yourself, so you don't wonder if your doctor actually did.

I've sort of felt this way all along - that " catching colds and other stuff " had a definite benefit to it. The last time I had one of my kiddos at the pediatrician, I asked him, " Doc, with all these sick kids who come in here, you and your nurses are exposed to Zeus-knows-what. How do you stay well? " He answered about the same way that your doctor describes below. He said that after the first year or two of being in pediatrics, you build an immunity to all the illnesses that they bring in every day. He said it's hell for those first couple of years, but after that, it's smooth sailing! LOL!! The problem is, that unless your kids have evidence of those immunizations, they're denied entrance to public school here. They can, and do, send kids home if they can't produce evidence from their doctors that they've actually had these shots. My older son couldn't take the DTP shots. The first one he got as an infant really caused a severe reaction. We were lucky that it didn't leave lasting damage. Horrible swelling, intense pain, high fever, near seizures, emergency room, but not admitted to the hospital. They just watched him for about 4 hours, and then sent him home. The pediatrician told us, " Don't, under any circumstances, let any other pediatrician give him another DTP (DPT?) shot. The reactions are cumulative, and he may have serious, lasting effects if he gets another. " So we haven't. But to keep him in school almost took an act of congress. Unless a parent has some really strong persuasive skills, it's easy to be browbeaten into compliance.

One time out of history that protection through religion is advantageous. Carol Mcilvane p.s. I have a proclamation letter on file I will send to the group.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Carol, I appreciate your willingness to share, and if you post it in the files section, I'll be truly interested to see it. Thanks! However, I could never actually use it. I'm an atheist. My children know it, and if they saw me lie about something so " important " , they would never trust me again. I'll have to handle it another way. But thanks. I truly do appreciate the suggestion.
