just learning more about vaccinations....WOW  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
ok so i have a 6 month old who is not vaccinated so far just cuz me and dh intuitively don't feel it's right. so now i have begun my real research to confirm our feelings, reading articles, stories, learning about the ingredients, all that. the more i learn, the more sad, frustrated, angry, and confused i get.

i don't have the words....how can this continue like it is?!?!? how come no one is doing anything about it??!?!? what are they going to do about it when more and more people don't vaccinate?? because my guess is this trend is increasing quite fast.

i'm not so worried about my own child because i feel like we have the mindset to do the research and question everything in regards to our child's health and make informed decisions. i'm worried about my friend's son, my sister's daughter, well-meaning people who want the best for their kids too but innocently trust doctors, the government....and just don't have it in them to question. i'm going to have to figure out a way to convince my sister to at least delay vaccines...

i learned some even more disturbing things after talking with my husband's coworker's wife last nite at his company christmas party, who does not vaccinate their 2 year old son. she first said how her son is so much more healthier than all her friend's children who are all vaccinated....ok fine, so maybe her child is just healthier. then she tells me how 5 of her friend's children have had adverse reactions to vaccinations, one autism, one is brain dead!!!!!!!!! and they are actually suing.

i was thinking about this last nite and after doing all my research i know i could not live with myself if i allowed my child to be vaccinated and him having an adverse reaction. but i think i could live with myself if he happened to contract one of the diseases.

i guess this is just a rant. and for those who don't vaccinate, who delay vaccinations or do selective.... good for you for doing your research, for questioning and protecting your children.

thanks for listening

Yes, It is quite mind boggling the infomation that is out there if you dig a little isn't it??
I completely know how you feel and I think that this grand cover up will continue as long as there is money to be made. It is not until the MAJORITY of people start questioning the safety of vaccines and start DEMANDING answers that something will be done. I really don't know what it will take for that to happen. Hugs to you for doing your research as well!

I agree with Marnica. So many are going to have to stop vaccinating before anything is done. Being a sickly child--did I mention fully vaccinated?--and dealing with too many stupid/ignorant doctors led to me not trusting them before I was even an adult. I guess thank goodness for a crumby childhood.

I know how you feel. I had to stop coming to these vaccine boards for a few months because I was feeling really sick inside everytime I read an article or thread about vaccines. It's so sad what is happening to today's children.

Guess I have a crappy childhood full of crappy 'authority figures' to thank for my ability to question doctor's 'advice' (re: orders backed by social and often legal threats) as well.

How sad that psychological, even physical trauma of the worst kind is what it takes for people to ask questions of those society deems 'leaders' for whatever reason. What a mindless, obedient, naive populace we have become, allowed ourselves to become, policed ourselves to become.

OP, I have no answers. Just as many questions, tears, feelings of hopelessness, and righteous anger as you do. The patriarchal culture of obedience surrounding 'authority figures' in this culture just plain sucks, and is the root of all unthinking compliance.

: girl. I know exactly what you mean. It felt wrong to me too but it didn't prepare me for the overwhelming amount of research! It brought me to tears. Thank goodness you learned what you did now.

I know its sad. I keep finding more and more moms with vaccine damaged children and it sickens me. Listen to your gut hon, its always right.

Yeah, I am half way through The Vaccine Book, by Dr. Robert Sears. I am finding out so much about these diseases, and the vaccines for them. After looking at some of the know side effects, ingredients, and how mild or uncommon most of the diseases. Unfortunatly(?) I wasn't aware that vaccines were even optional until I found this board, so my son recieved almost all his vaccines. Which really makes me mad at myself because he actually didn't need them being that he was breastfeed and was not in daycare or around other kids.
