how to rate safety of similar vaccines?

[mommabear207]

i'm trying to rate the safety and effectiveness of each different type of vax. as in of all the DTaP vaxs which is the safest and most effective? how would you compare the combo vaxs and breaking them up?

Well, each shot contains so much mercury and aluminum and antibiotic and so on...so by breaking them up, your child will get all the more of those things that can cause cancer.

But by giving combined doses, your child will be exposed to multiple viruses or bacteria which virtually never happens in nature. So if your child has a vaccine reaction, you will never know which one caused her the problems.

It's certainly a double edged sword.

We don't vaccinate at all, so that makes it easy for us.

I wanted to also give you a very good site to help you with your vax decision -

Ditto on the not vaccinating being the easier decision for us.

*If* one of my children is exposed to a disease and *if* she catches it and *if* she shows symptoms and *if* she experiences anything more than mild to moderate complications, I believe her strong and healthy immune system combined with possible modern medical treatment (if resorted to,) will result in a recovered child with natural immunity to the illness.

I don't worry about my children dying from a disease on the vaccine list any more than I worry about them dying from a disease which has no vaccine.

The occasional *what if* of course occasionally enters my mind, but prevention of this rare event does not involve risky pharmaceutical products which have not been proven safe in the short or long-term.

good point about breaking the combos up = more additives.
i've been having a debate w/ my dh (i don't want to vax he does) and was hoping to get him in on rating the vaccines (he admits things like mercury aren't good and we should use the safest most effective options there are), in hopes that he'll get a realistic idea on these stats and how long a vax usually "protects" for.....
