Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Oh my Goodness Sheri! What did you say to this person? Doesn't just make you want to scream! I have such trouble controlling myself when I come accross situations like this. I was actually thrown off of a Mommies group for what I said... (but hey it was a group of dummies anyway... and... three Moms emailed me privately asking for more info so... it was worth it!) It came up on a homeschool chat once and I can only hold my fingers for so long before I unleashed. Turns out there were many like minded folks there so... that went smooth! LOL I'm just curious, did you respond to this person? I don't know what I would say! LOL :-) Laurette > > This is taken from another group in which there is much discussion about vaccines at the moment. I have taken the liberty of sharing this post since I am not identifying the person who posted it. I did inform her that the flu shots still contain thimerisol. > Sheri B. > > " I feel confident that the thimerosol in vaccines has led to an increase in Autism and frankly that is awful. I am glad to hear that vaccines with no thimerosol are available. I am anxious to see if that reduces the incidence of Autism. But, I will never be against vaccinations. My daughter, who is 7 has to deal with the paralysis of Polio for the rest of her life because she wasn't given the Polio vaccine that she needed when she was a baby in the orphanage in Ukraine. She does tremendously well, but her life will always be a struggle that could have easily been prevented. To see her leg withered, shorter than the other and both legs with reduced nerve and muscular function assures me that the Polio vaccine is very much needed.

Now, these children will suffer, many with families so poor that they cannot get > the braces, shoes, crutches, wheelchairs and therapy that they need. They will never have the job opportunities or life opportunities that Alena will have by being here. Yes, I am all for freedom from gov't intrusion and I don't like the idea of the gov't making it mandatory that we do things. But, we have to remember that the choices we make don't just impact us, but could impact the very life and quality of life for our children.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Is this mother in the U.S.? I don't understand how the conditions and concerns in the Ukraine or Africa warrant vaccinating a child in the U.S.? Did I miss something?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 She's in the US, but her child is from the Ukraine (adopted). But does it really matter? It should not really matter if we believe what we believe, right? Sheri B. josiecat1022 <mjd_subs2@...> wrote: Is this mother in the U.S.?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well, it's hard to say something when her daughter has a withered leg from polio, but I did say that nothing could take the chemicals out of my nephew's brain that contributed to his autism. I've really encouraged her to at least look at the Hep. B. vaccine for when her baby is born. Maybe she can see the absurdity of that one and then start from there. She said she'd look into it but that the polio vaccine was a done deal. She also didn't realize - like SO MANY PEOPLE, that the flu shots still have mercury! Someone needs to take an ad out in the NY TImes or something about this! Sheri B. Laurette <Laurette@...> wrote: Oh my Goodness Sheri! What did you say to this person?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hmm, It is hard, but then it's not so hard to say anything once you've done it! As much as it sucks, I think many people would rather know about the situation than not know regardless. I have done this a few times IRL in regards to vaccination, once with S.I.D.S. where I was put on the spot and once with Polio - the subject came up and I wasn't going to lie or stay quiet. It was hard, but the results in the long run were positive. I tell it like it is quite frequently in regards to Breast Implants. I am an exotic dancer and one of the few people within the industry who knows these things are dangerous. I probably see more people with implants than most people and I figured that someone should be speaking out about them! It may not be nice for people to hear, especially when they already have implants but beleiving misleading information isn't nice either. ~ Jowanna. > > > > This is taken from another group in which there is much discussion > about vaccines at the moment.

I guess it's hard to talk to someone whose child is so sick, you are right. You know, I once read an article in Mothering magazine (and I think I've heard of it elsewhere also) where a mother put her son on a certain type of diet, (organic.. .but there was more too it) like a detox and his autism improved greatly. Have you ever heard of this? It was in one of last years issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 True, very true. I asked because it seems like a huge jump to justify vaccinating against something here because of a situation somewhere else. Yet, her reaction is exactly what the vaccine-makers are counting on. > Is this mother in the U.S.?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm a bit late on this one, but wanted to add my $.02. While having a daughter who may not be able to walk very well would be heartbreaking. If I had to chose, I would chose that over having a brain injured child anyday. I think she hit the nail on the head about the families in countries such as Africa and the Ukraine being very poor. Money would be much better spent improving those poor people's living conditions as opposed to injecting their sick and malnourished children with toxins! And has she not heard of the documented risk of cancer from the Salk vaccine that most of us received in our childhoods? There's ALWAYS a catch to messing with natural immunity. And why would this woman be so adamant about her new baby getting the Polio vax. She lives in the US, right? I hope she does some research before her new baby arrives. Something tells me she will continue to stick her head into the sand on the vaccine topic. You've done your part by presenting the other side of the issue to her.
