you got it! you can tell the Dr. you want an alternative, you will prob have to pay more but they have intradermal injections for certain types of vaccine. oral mist for some. you can still get her vaccinated and be safe.The principle here is like the last word about a childs wellbeing should be left to the parents not the government- given they are of sound mind.
I understand your position and it is a fine one to take."The doctors conceded that the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, when she received vaccinations against nine different diseases all at once (two contained thimerosal).
Days later, the girl began spiraling downward into a cascade of illnesses and setbacks that, within months, presented as symptoms of autism, including: No response to verbal direction; loss of language skills; no eye contact; loss of "relatedness;" insomnia; incessant screaming; arching; and "watching the florescent lights repeatedly during examination."
It's those kind of accounts that do it for me.. it may be a small percentage, but from what has happened to me.. you very well could be that small percent..
I agree with this women..
"My issue is that if she gets sick with measles, I can take her to the hospital for treatment," Uribe said. "If she has a bad reaction to a vaccine, they (doctors) can't get the brain damage out of her."
Warned of disease risks, parents control kids vaccines | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
Think about it tho- we know the people in the pharmaceuticals business are all about keeping their ridiculous incomes. Seriously, think about it- we haven't actually CURED anything since polo, all they make now are "treatments". They don't WaNt to cure people anymore- they don't make money off of cures. These companies making these vaccines are BaNk- money everywhere to be had. Sorry- the "rare side effects" from these vaccines are in some cases just as bad and worse than the thing they are supposed to be preventing. And remember- in today's American those diseases are nearly nonexistent. So basically you're running the same % of catching the disease normally as getting a bad reaction from the thing meant to protect you (and that's not even guaranteed, you can catch something you already had a vaccine for) Sorry, not like me to add more risk to my life..
Figured you'd get why, lol. It's not a selfish thing or a stupid decision on my part- I just see the dangers. If my daughter were to get a life threatening disease like that I would understand having her in an isolated place to keep it from spreading, however I would also think that the parent should have a choice in where exactly the child is isolated.I understand your position and it is a fine one to take.
i like to argue as many sides in my head before i come to an opinion. The stances you are taking, and more importantly, the reasons for feeling how you do, were nearly identical to my first and most visceral reaction. so i think i understand, as close as i can, where you are coming from.Figured you'd get why, lol.

Gonna have to disagree with you there as well. My mom's friend's daughter actually lost her daughter to the state because the doctor she was seeing let the state know how she refused to give her daughter vaccines even when "strongly recommended" at her daughter's check ups. Since her daughter had state financed health care- they had the last say. She refused the vaccines- they took her daughter by force and gave it to her anyway. She's been trying to fight it since, and still doesn't have custody of her daughter.I agree that as a parent you should be able to opt-out of vaccinations with reasonable stipulations e.g regular mandatory check-ups. However, the people who are fighting against childhood vaccinations I feel far less favorably towards.
Hey milf - sounds like you misunderstood me somewhere - i don't believe i ever condoned taking a child away - if I did then I misspoke - just regular medical check-ups in case refusal of the vaccine caused a communicable disease to develop. Vaccinated and non-vaccinated children would be treated the same and have proper medical care in my theoretical world. and it would be up the parent to allow or refuse. The parent wouldn't be threatened in anyway - but regular check-ups for the diseases that the vaccine may have prevented would be mandatory.Gonna have to disagree with you there as well.

All children should have access to health care and see a Dr. regularly, just be careful who the Dr. is- it appears medical confidentiality isn't a high priority to ever Dr.
I am susceptible to the "big brother" argument. In fact, it takes no convincing at all to assume the government would some how fuck up any good intentions.I understand you perfectly clear now thank you.
I just want to point out, if there were "mandatory" check-ups, that would imply they'd have to keep track or all this and make sure check-ups are done when they're supposed to. Little too big brother for my tastes.
I agree- if the risk were more for the particular disease, weighing the possibilities I would vaccinate. But weighing the possibilities of the particular situation here, I choose not to.
History that's been repeating for yearssssssss.I am susceptible to the "big brother" argument. In fact, it takes no convincing at all to assume the government would some how fuck up any good intentions.
