Being Forced to Vaccinate Ds - Questions  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Ds is 2.5 & has not had any vaxes. His doctor & I have had a vax schedule written up since his birth in which we wrote to start vaxing after age 2. I don't think I ever intended to vax him - at least, the thought of it always turned my stomach since I know that his immune system is strong & intact.

SO, exdp & I are headed towards court for custody & he always threatens with the vax issue. I feel strongly about not vaxing but I feel more strongly about keeping my children.

There are vaxes I just won't do, like varicella, Hep. B, Prevnar, etc.

What are the illnesses that most uneducated people fear? Polio, measles? I am aware of the dangers of MMR & won't do that & wonder if measles alone is any less dangerous - or is it just unknown? I figure tetanus is a big concern for the general public, not in the sense of outbreak, obviously, but as a danger to an individual. So that would mean DTaP.

I will absolutely space whatever he gets far apart & have a revised vax schedule to go along.

Which do you feel are the most important in the eyes of the general public or a judge?

*****

Now, can anyone give me a list of vaxes that have had really bad adverse reactions & have been pulled in the last decade or so? Like rotavirus & the Lyme vaccine - what else?

*****

And how about any court cases in favor of the parents against pharma companies - like the Hannah case?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Well, the exemption is sticky because I allowed my Dds to have some vaccines (because I didn't know any better.)

There have been too many cases where mothers lose custody because they're viewed as negligent and unfit for not vaxing. I think the court would have a hard time pegging me as negligent because I have oodles & oodles of information as well as the vax schedule since birth - so I clearly haven't just been ignoring the issue or slacking, I've been making very educated decisions - something I can't say for the other side.

I do need some examples of cases that have been ruled against the vax industry though - I'm going to try to just Google & surf this forum for a few hours to see what I come up with.

The measles vax alone scares me, I really don't want to do that one. What's the safest available version of DTaP & IPV? How far apart should I do them? What can I do to prepare Ds's body for them? (I think I just puked a little.)

To prepare, lots of vitamin C & A (sodium ascorbate and CLO).

Instead of DTaP I'd try doing DT only and hope no one notices. You can also separate out the MMR but that may take some searching and may be pricey. If you have a cooperative Dr I'd have him sign a schedule that you can submit to the judge that spreads them out as far as possible.

You can have a religious revelation at any time...

I would try and work out some sort of deal with the father of the child. Less custody payment or more visitation rights... anything to avoid vaccines.

You have recently converted. That is what I would do.

to you mama. This would be awful.
