Absolutely not. After my daughter stopped eating, speaking, and had to have an NG tube for months, I said I had been doing a lot of research on vaccines and reactions and she said "Oh Michelle, do you think that what happened was due to a vax? Vaccines are safe, IT'S BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN NURSING HER WHILE YOU'RE PREGNANT; YOUR MILK IS NO LONGER ABLE TO SUSTAIN HER."
I cried for a while, thinking maybe that was the truth, but then I kept reading and knew I was correct.
Psychopath-
"A Personality disorder in which the individual characteristically lacks a sense of personal responsibility or morality and be disposed to aggressive or violent behavior or to sexual deviation."
I'd say that severe damage to a child could be defined as aggressive and violent.
But I am trying to learn more about diagnosis in general. The definition of this disease has changed over the years, but so has the means and reliability of diagnosis. I don't have an answer to the question, but I sure am not scared that ds is going to get paralytic polio.
Kristin,
Check out the Finding Your Tribes area for a forum specifically for Washington or Idaho and there is a chicken pox thread somewhere else too... I'll see if I can find it...
