quick..one or two sentences why you don't vax - Page 2

[jagar100]

In a separate post today here is what I listed:

1. .01% Thimerosal is an ingredient (49.6% ethyl mercury) in HepB, DTaP, Td, Hib & Influenza. That's 25 micrograms, or 50,000 parts per billion. If water contains more than 2 ppb, it's contaminated. 200 ppb is considered toxic waste. If the nurse drops and breaks that vial on the floor, it's considered toxic waste since it's 50,000 ppb.

2. by 2000, Autism has grown 1354% since 1990.

3. If you child get a viral disease such as measels, she/he will most likely be able to fight it off. If that child gets another viral disease in a few weeks, she'll fight it off. If your child gets 2 or more viral diseases at the same time, chances of complications and autism greatly increases. MMR is a vial of Measels, Mumps and Rhubella. That's 3 you are allowing them to inject your child with together, for convenience sake.

I believe all the parents who have described the heartbreak and suffering their families have gone through because of vaccines. I appreciate and respect their bravery spreading the truth.

In order to be healthy it is an unfortunate fact that people must be allowed the opportunity to be ill. I trust my body and those of my children to work correctly against the relatively benign diseases they vax for, and do not trust the ingredients in the vaccinations.

Yes! These are my thoughts summarized in a way I never could have articulated as well.

This just became my Facebook status.

Wow! Thanks!

Me too rredhead!!!

Now I'm waiting for the proverbial crap to hit the fan LOL! I've got loads of mainstream folk on my fb for various reasons...this ought to be interesting!

[Carolyn_mtl]

Ditto to the facebook status (minus the cow milk, we are vegan, won't ever be giving that to my human babies).
Cannot wait for the sh*t to hit the fan, my sister-in-laws are going to freak (my dd is 5 weeks, and aside from my sister who also doesn't vax, no one knows we won't be vaxing.. until now!)

This is my usual response, because it's true. If pressed, I add that myself, my brother, and practically all of my 8 cousins have had reactions to at least one of most of the vaccines out there (a Hib, an IPV, a couple DTP, an MMR). Our dd has severe food allergies as well (at which point I mention the array of ingredients in vaccines), so between all of that, most people see our point very clearly, even if they're really pro-vax. I only get into discussions about the (lack of) "scariness" of the diseases when it comes up in conversation, usually.

I'm waiting for a longterm study of the safety and effectiveness of the current vaccine program. If you think one has been done you are woefully mistaken. My son won't be a science experiment.

I am waiting for pharmacutical companies to be regulated so that they aren't making billions off of vaccine sales. I'm not vaccinating my son so some company can make a buck.

[wombato]

Some of my reasons:

Husband has a history of disturbing, unexplained reactions to shots (not blood draws). Fainting, small seizures.

We have low risk for these diseases right now (breastfeeding - a couple of years ago, I still showed MMR immunities in a blood test; no daycare; nutrient dense diet with lots of vitamins A, D, K).

People have died after receiving vaccines. Might be the cost of doing business from a public health perspective, it's frightening to us, given #1 above.

I would like our son to be vaccinated for whooping cough, but I don't like injecting aluminum into his body. Nobody has shown clearly what all that injected aluminum does long term. Ditto formaldehyde, etc.

What about all those diseases we don't vaccinate for? There are risks in life. Pharmaceuticals are quite the human experiment, so we are picky about them.

Also,I don't know if this applies to you or not, but DP and I also have a deep distrust of the pharmaceutical companies, and the FDA.

I love this thread

These are BOTH key to what I feel....I have added these to my siggy on another board and will use them eventually on my FB....AMEN TO THAT!

God made our bodies perfect...simple as that

*there are medical interventions that can save lives, but injecting known human carcinogens etc directly into our bloodstreams (avoiding our bodies natural defence systems) just seems asinine (tee hee, love using that word!)

After researching testing, ingredients, and the rise in chronic illnesses, I think that the vaccine is the greater risk than the disease in our situation.
