Guest guest Posted September 4, 1998 Report Share Posted September 4, 1998 Hi everyone.... That article on DPT really pulled at my heart strings. It's really sad when someone isn't informed on all the risk and they see their once healthy son become brain damaged from a reaction....and you can't count on the gov't for compensation...I don't think any amt. of money can make up for what happened to their son. Sad. Now that they stopped using the DPT (I hear that doc's are using up the last of their stock...wouldn't want to waste money, if you kwim!) and have replaced it with the DTaP...I hear that side effects have significantly decreased, being that it is acellular and not 'live'....being a new vaccine, I still don't trust it. I wouldn't want my child to become part of the 'statistics' if some mistake were made, as the DTP. I can't believe they are going door to door asking for vaccine records or exemption forms in replacement....don't they have anything better to do with there time?! They'll be sure to get an 'attitude' from me if they come knockin' on my door...you can count on it!!! In the state of Georgia, you can only exempt medically or religously. I'm not 'religous' by any means, but I claim that it is my 'god given right' to not vaccinate my son. I sure hope that'll do the trick. I have heard of cases where the DFACS filed 'negligent mother' when one refused vaccinations. Whatever happened to freedom of choice? Seems as if they are going to great lengths for this so called 'herd immunity'...but what they don't realize is that if vaccines were as effective as they claimed; unvaccinated children would only pose a risk to themselves. How can we do real research if there isn't two control groups: one vaccinated and the other vaccine free...to see the effects short term and long term? I'm willing to put my childs fate in the hands of mama nature....I think she knows better than any doc or scientist. I could handle my child falling ill with a disease (that's life, it happens)...but if my son was permanately scarred or DEAD from a vaccine reaction (like that article) I don't know how I could live with myself. Sorry, I'm just rambling on.. glad you all are here, look forward to meeting you all.... where are all of your intro's ...I'd like to 'meet' you :-) BTW: , A vaccine friendly doctor here in Atlanta is Dr. Abrams...I went though alot to find him and he is very open minded. For anyone looking in Atlanta, search no more!! Lana aka malana Mama of Cody Ukiah (vaccine free!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
