Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi, My husband is a elementary school teacher and there has been an " outbreak " of whooping cough in his school district. We do not vaccinate our children (ages 2 1/2 and 6 months). Well, now my husband is all worried (he was very supportive prior to this) and my mother-in- law in very worried because it is in all the newspapers about this outbreak. Yesterday, my husband had a teacher in-service day and the school nurse talked with all the teacher about the importance of the vaccination and boosters (for whooping cough). My husband is afraid he will bring it home and pass it on to our kids. He said it is very, very severe and can last 6 months. I just wanted some of your thoughts and encouraging words to help me stand behind my decision to not vaccinate. Sometimes, you feel like the " freak " for not vaccinating. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Been there, done this: Whooping cough is not the great menace they make it out to be. Watch out for the littler guy, because the cough can make them gag and my 3-month-old got dehydrated. We had either the actual disease or its viral equivelant. All the doctors we encountered had it about every other year themselves, despite having had every vax in the universe and all the boosters. The vaccine is only about 80% effective, and that is what is reported, who knows how effective it really is. As to severity, it varies with the person, /assuming they actually get it./ My two children who were vaxed for it got it anyway, and my daughter was by far the most severe of the children. It was a drag, but annoyance is not worth endangering them, since it does not seem to work anyway.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yes I had whooping cough as a older child. Also someone on this list recently had a very young baby and a toddler who had whooping cough and I seem to remeber them getting over it just fine and rather quickly. My whooping cough lasted over 6 weeks, I rember because I had to stay in all of the school holidays, but I went back to school in the september, I had no treatment and not very good food, and lived in a fair bit of poverty...but I made it (by Gods grace). Whooping cough was my 'fear' disease, but having read all of what I have on the vaccine, I fear the vaccine alot more now. > > Hi, My husband is a elementary school teacher and there has been > an " outbreak " of whooping cough in his school district.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 How many kids have the hooping cough? How many have been vaxed for it? Any cough is caused by toxemia or the fear (created in the mind ) of it. The fear which can cause any number of organic diseases is based on the false teaching ( one gets in the public school system and ignorant and controlled media ) that germs cause disease. Disease is caused by eating devitalized, demineralized, dead food. The coughing and other symptoms (expelling mucus ) is the body just eliminating the poison that we build up through the metabolic process. If germs caused whooping cough than every child in the school would get it and than infect every one in the town, city, state, country and world. Isn't in the school books the tales how a disease was transported by boat or airplane by a single person? And how about all the live nutrition food the schools serve as well as the garbage the kids eat at home. I look forward to a factual accounting of the number of cases and the back round of the kids who " caught " it. Like how many of them are on drugs(meds) how many overweight, how many come from ignorant homes? After all we who have been around a long time know that many employees in the school system don't think most parents are the brightest star in the sky. Its time we start looking into the lifestyles of disease as the real cause. What the hell , the same people who sold you on giving your kids vaccines are the same people who tell you to give your kids drugs and that germs and virus are causing your illness. Does anyone think that the reason so many people believe this crap is because people just don't want to take responsibility for their health, they just want it there way? After all there have been books at the books stores forever on health and how to build it and today tons of them in the books stores, some even written by Allopaths. Why would your husband be concerned about what the nurse says, he must have known her stand on it before as the crap they spew out is what there taught to say. They just choose to believe it because there not smart enough to think or reason, or if they are ,they just take the position that if your to stupid to believe it that's your problem, kind of like the rip-off auto mechanic.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Were they talking about the importance of vaccines for the kids or for the staff? Either way, it would take months to get all the boosters before reaching the possible 80% (I've heard it's as low as 40%) effectiveness, if you even believe the vaccines work at all. By then, the " outbreak " will be over. If your husband is concerned about the baby, remind him that your children depend on him to be around to raise them. If he were to get sick and/or die from the vaccine, your children will really be in dire straits. You're not a freak. You're smart. Keep up the good work!
