Do you regret vaccinating your child?

[emma1325]

And if so, why?

Thanks!

thankfully for what i know my oldest is ok from them, before i knew what was in them etc. I cant go back so regret isnt really applicable, but now that I personally know for my family better, I am ok with the choice and just wont from now on or not w/ yasmeen lol.

Yes, because I can't undo the brain damage he suffered from.

its one of my biggest parenting regrets. even that I vaccinated my daughter and she had not reaction. of course I regret putting her in harms way. of course I would do it different if I could do it over. and with my son... well the damage is done now, and I am reminded multiple times a day of my mistake on choosing to vaccinate, especially since I didnt research BOTH sides.

[spero]

Yes.

Yes. My dd still gets literally sick when she allows herself to thinks about what was injected into her son (with her permission) up to age 15 months. He is 11 yo. now and doing fine but the toxins are still in him.

I do not so much regret getting my son vaccinated as much as I regret listening to the doctors and nurses. When my son was born I did no research on Vaccines because I wasn't aware I had the choice not vaccinate. My sons' Dr would just say at this visit he gets this, and this and this; and then the nurse would come in and give him the shots and we would be on our merry way. It wasn't until the whole autism scare with the 15 mo shots that I tried to hold off, and was finally told that he didn't have to have vaccines. Which the Dr gave my son the shots anyway, he hasn't had a shot since he was 15 mo old. I just wish someone would have told me earlier, that I had a choice in the matter.

I think I'm more thankful that I started reading into vaccines before DD reached 12 months so I could refuse MMR and Varivax. I still don't have enough info to determine if the medical problems she has is because of the vaccines she received, but I am in the process of looking into it.

My daughter had her first seizure less than 11 hours after her 2 month vaccinations. Had seizures for 3 weeks after (While docs said THAT WAS NORMAL, it wasnt seizures, it was normal startling and jerking that babies did)... than it was discovered at 3 weeks that she had a MAJOR intercranial bleed in her Basal Ganglia.

ALL TESTS, blood work, MRI's, Xrays, ECT... were negative.

They would not evaluate on the Vaxes, INSTEAD they put UNKNOWN cause!

Today my daughter has uncontrolled seizures BECAUSE of the scar on her brain! Its been hell for the past 4 months, and I get mad at myself for thinking that I COULD have done research before vaxing her and WHY didnt I... unfortunately I cant go back in time!!!!!!

Its a mistake I will ALWAYS have to live with!

I'm so sorry, mama. Lots of to you and to your little girl.

[not now]

Nope. I did my research. I pick and choose when and what vax he gets and when.

[Mosaic]

For the most part, no. I did my research and made the choices I felt were best for our family, and I have no problem telling doctors to buzz off when I need to. There was, however, one shot she got when she had a sniffle, and I viscerally regret that one... never never never again.

YES! I regret that I did not research vaccines and my choices before Sierra was born, now she is dead because of it and there is nothing i can do to bring her back.

So sorry for your loss!!!!

[Stephenie]

Yes. I regret it. My son had two sets of vaccines even though I felt uncomfortable about it. What's even worse is he had neurological issues (still does, but they were more prominent then) and the side effects possible would have been devastating.
