Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks for warning me. I usually watch that show for entertainment, but I won't catch this episode (I'm in CA, it hasn't aired yet). How ridic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am STILL yelling. I am on the ABC web page now, but I think I am too upset to write just yet. Rage doesn't to get me anywhere, so I need to calm down first. I feel like I am sick of debating the issue, and tend to keep my opinions to myself, but do voice them when asked. Being in acupuncture school, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many people who are open to discussing. And I am not crazed and in everyone's face with my opinions, I do what I feel is right for my child, make the information I have available to others, have a few short simple facts to make people think about the topic, and then I keep to myself. While I do not vaccinate my kid (or pets), I also don't attack or judge people who chose to. That is their right. Just as it is my right not to. When " medical " TV shows do episodes like this, people who have not had the privilege I have had to be educated, and have the resources I do to know how to make informed educated decisions, there is usually a mass hysteria over the topic. It upsets me that this is ok to air on TV, it upsets me that there is not a legal question about this Dr on TV vaccinating a child in front of his parent while she is screaming no AFTER he has been exposed, and it also upsets me that I liked this show and now I can't even enjoy my simple guilty pleasure of TV because it has become an ethical issue.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am sure it will, especially since I am dealing with a child who has been damaged by vaccines.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Good question... maybe I should watch it then to see.... I wouldn't be surprised to see GArdasil commercials or that horrible " give her the gift of polio vaccine " blablabla commercial.... This is upsetting to me. Even if you vaccinate or selectively vaccinate, respecting a parent's choice is imperative.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I just FF'ed throw it and didn't see any drug commercials, two insurance companies, car and life but nothing drug related. Now, some of the products could be owned by drug companies, so I wouldn't rule it out, but nothing obvious. ---- " niadara@...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The concern is they are programming the sheep to favor forced vaccination.. This programming is also being done in the schools on the kids. My 15 year old granddaughter brought me her biology book. It ask the question should vaccines be mandatory? The fight is coming, better find out who your congressmen are. As long as people BELIEVE virus cause disease their argument will be weak. If you believe virus causes disease then you believe antibody(bits of protein) will attack the virus to kill it(never mind that it is a dead speck) and that vaccine poison will provoke the body into developing these so called  " life saving antibody's. " The antibody theory is what Salk based is whole polio theory on. It was bogus then as it is now.

Does anyone remember years ago on a morning show called " Mike a Matty " - they had an older doctor on there who used to do a lot of TV shows and he was going to give them flu shots live on the air. He gave the shot to one of them and then used the SAME syringe and SAME needle to give the shot to the other one. I was watching the show live and as a nurse the minute I saw him do it I freaked out. They went to a commercial and when then came back everyone was very somber and they told the audience about the mistake he had made and said that Mike and Matty would both be getting blood tests and would be followed for any ill effects. I remember being furious at the time because the whole thing was such a sham and I bet that was the first time in 30 years that doctor gave someone a shot himself rather than just writing an order for a nurse to do it.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I did watch this show and it scared me to bits. I questioned myself too on whether I should vaccinate my children now. What would I do if they got the measles at that magnitude? Things like that were always in question and still remain. I do a lot of research and we hope to be ready if a condition happens. I have 3 lil ones the older ones 5 and 4 had some vaccinations and I stopped after several things happened. One being that 2 weeks after my daughter was vaccinated she had a seizure. Still remains to have seizures that they say oh these are febrile seizures. .I'm still researching. I do not feel at all at peace to get them further vaccinated.My lil one has not been vaccinated at all. The older ones will never get anymore I feel cause One they both have seizures...not saying that shots cause seizures. Also my 5 year old son is autistic...do I believe shots caused his autism...NO.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The question should be: what will you do if they have a vaccine reaction (and you've already been there)? There's really nothing the doctors have to offer you since they will likely deny it's a reaction anyway. So, they will prescribe useless, harmful drugs for an " unknown " condition, just treating the symptoms. Even if they admit it, again all they can do is treat the symptoms and make things worse. There is no set drug for vaccine reactions the way there might be (in their minds) for natural diseases. And there's no saying what path a vaccine reaction will take or how long it will last. Autism, seizures, learning disabilities, fatal allergies, brain damage--those things might never end. By the way, shots do cause seizures, autism and the above conditions. You are wise to stop vaccinations even if you don't believe that. Try to keep TV shows in perspective. We don't really believe that aliens are invading us just because a science fiction show has them in it. Movies/TV add unrealistic drama all the time. It's easy to get sucked into what-ifs, I know. If there's an outbreak, realize that could mean just two cases. But if you're worried, that's the time to crack down on their diet and get lots of rest.
