If You Plan To Do "Selective & Delayed Vaccinations", a Note of Caution... - Page 2

Yes, I agree that it is criminal and doesn't make sense... yet that's exactly what they did! My friend's daughter got EVERYTHING put into her that even a hard core pro-vax individual would space out with the proper time intervals. She got the "first injections" as well as the boosters that obviously wouldn't do her any good without proper time in between. My friend got the feeling that the nurse was trying to punish her for delaying. I wish she would have pressed charges, but she herself has not read too much either way on the issue so it's not a huge issue in her mind. Besides, in Canada you don't hear of malpractice suits, because our system is totally different (very little accountability for health professionals). When my cousin's baby had 6- months and 1-years given without consent, it prompted me to at least make people aware that this happens! I'm glad to hear that your system is different and that it seems to be much less likely to happen in the USA.

Mistakes happen and it's up to us to double check. It wasn't a vax experience...but BIL took allergy shots for YEARS from the same doctor and same bunch of nurses. One day he went in like normal and MIL said it looked like there was too much in the syringe so she commented to the nurse about it. Nurse got all huffy and said something like "It's the same dose he always gets" and gave it to him...

 

He had an anaphylactic reaction on the way home (MIL said he turned to her and said, "my throat feels funny" and she whipped the car around and went back.) It turns out it WAS a double dose and the nurse was too offended that someone was questioning her to double check.

But how did your friend just sit there and let that happen?  They must have injected her over 20 times, there is no way on the planet I can imagine someone just sitting there and allowing that to happen to their child?  She's lucky her daughter didn't die or become seriously brain injured from something like that.

Not everyone has the same level of awareness of what is "appropriate" and "innapropriate" to be doing to a child healthwise, especially when it is someone in a position whom they assume is trustworthy. Amongst that group of friends, most of them give complete blind trust to healthcare workers and never ask questions.

This is what we do as well. But thanks for the heads up!
