Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 You have a great point. My mother insists that the old vaccines- ones during the time I was (I'm 32) are safer & not as many. She is very much bothered by the amount that kids get from 0-5 but still think they are valuable. one the one hand she agrees the toxins in them are scary & wants to know why, but is afraid of the disease too. my grandmother got polio very bad -shortly after my mother was born ('53-'55) and was partially paralyzed. How do help her understand? She is very much afraid my younger two will get polio & whooping cough. WC is making a huge comeback in our area. I've had 3 kids where I truly suspect had it in my daycare & in my local MOPS group. I hope that's what this winter, but nOT sure...... Carlena Re: Being pulled to the other side... Should I go ahead and vax? The two resources that helped me the most were Neil Z 's book (which I felt were loaded with stats and not super-biased) and Dr. Tenpenny's " Saying No To Vaccines " - more biased. If my child stepped on a rusty nail, I wouldn't get a tetanus vax. They don't work after the fact. And tetanus is INCREDIBLY rare. That's just one example. My biggest reason not to vax is that I am vaccine injured myself. I would give ANYTHING to take back those shots and not have the disease that I have from it. It is unbearable to me to even think about subjecting my child to the possibility of an acquired vaccine injury. But thankfully, it opened my eyes to the dangers so I know never to subject my child to that. If my child gets whooping cough, or measles, or meningitis, I will do everything I can for him to fight through it. But if I got the vaccines - he could still get those diseases, as they aren't 100% effective - and I would have put poison into his body for nothing. We aren't meant by nature to get disease immunity through unnatural means. Vaccines bypass the body's natural protective systems. And you can see all over the news how new and more dangerous strains of whooping cough and meningitis are showing up, because nature abhors a vacuum, and if we vaccinate away something, nature will fill the void, and usually with something worse and more mutated and harder to fight off.
