Parents lie about religion to avoid vaccines

If vaccinations work, why should anyone be concerned about children who aren't vaccinated because those vaccinated will be completely protected - its that simple.

Its a parents right to make decisions to protect their children from harm - if a parent believes (as I do) that vaccines can cause great harm to their child they should have the right of refusal, no questions asked.

I strongly urge anyone contemplating vaccinating their child to read the article nexus published from a "retired vaccine researcher who goes public on what the pharmaceutical industry and the health authorities don't want us to know: that vaccines are unsafe, untested and one of the greatest frauds of our time" -

It seems to me that we are blindly handing over more of our freedoms every day in total ignorance and it's about time we question everything for ourselves without condemning those of us who do question the 'norm'

I believe that most vaccinations should be mandatory for all children.... That being said, there should be by-laws for those who are medically unable to get them. Religion is a whole new isssue that is just so extreme; who can really deal with that? I don't want to say that religions are right or wrong so I won't discuss that.

However, maybe scientists should do a huge study on them and make all parents aware of the effects and benefits; so that parents can be more comfortable. Most people that don't know something REJECT IT immediatly.(that mindset is everywhere)

But, on to what happens when people don't vaccinate. If there is an OUTBREAK what will you do? You don't have to worry about that right now because you believe it won't happen to "us". The scientists that discovered these vaccinations did so that we would NOT have to deal with an outbreak later. This was a gift to each of us. If your chld gets sick or any adult that does not have his/her shots gets sick not only are you at risk but a wide variety of others are too. NOT JUST THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU. ie. The infants that have yet to get that shot, elderly people, sick people who have a lower immune system to begin with, some immigrants and YOU YOURSELF> Your child just doesn't stay inside all day at your home, he goes to school(You should be required before entering in all states) You cart him to soccer, ballet and the grocery store or Target. You would feel complete and utter dispair if YOU or YOUR CHILD caused a newborn to die because you were selfish. Some of these shots "prevent" diseases that can KILL you.

You can't control all health issues in this world. But why not do your part to help keep us healthy.

Don't be ignorant.. seek information.

I remember a few years ago a mom telling me her kids aren't vaccinated. She acted like it was a big wonderful secret. Well, it's just not smart. Like many comments here, that mentality will bring back the diseases to our children/grandchildren.

When my kids were babies, the clinic had a NEW campaign poster up "Get all their shots before 2 years old" THANKFULLY I thought "That can't be good to put so many viruses in my baby on that time span" It just makes sense their little bodies need time to get their immune system built up before the next shot.

So I did their shots on my own time schedule...8months - 1 year apart....it makes me wonder if the autism rise started from that CAMPAIGN

I agree with Kay#11 avoid vaccines not needed (chicken pox) and am I wrong about HPV and HEP B are for sexually active teens?? I thought I read that somewhere...?

And the CDC NEEDS to change the toxic additives in vaccines. I feel they're shaking in their boots right now.

All I know is that I wouldn't want my children in a class with a kid who has not been vaccinated.

I think it is ignorant that people believe that children who receive vaccinations are at no risk to be infected with those illnesses that an unvaccinated child might bring into the classroom/playgroup/etc. Vaccinations are a safeguard, not a 100% guarantee!! TWO little girls who received that meningitis vaccine in my neighborhood BOTH contracted the disease months later from an infected child who was NOT vaccinated. One of those vaccinated girls DIED from it. There is still a possibility any child can contract something they are vaccinated against. It happens ALL THE TIME. As a kid, I contracted the mumps THREE TIMES(!) even though I was vaccinated!!! So come on people, get with the program and get yourselves educated. Unvaccinated children DO put others at risk.

We are all idiots if we blindly follow and believe EVERYTHING that the government and drug companies tell us. We have freedom of choice and why we live in a democracy. If things continue on the current path and Uncle Sam continues to take away our right of choices, like how to raise our kids, and what medicines to give them, pretty soon we will have a Communist country. We, as in Americans, have become to complacent in that we follow what the "THEY" say. Who are they?.........they are just Drs, lawyers, scientists.....people like you and I who do make mistakes. Before you form an opinion one way or another......do the research......you might find you are surprised by what you find. "THEY" make mistakes.......afterall, "THEY" once thought the world was round, and that it was impossible to fly, that we would never go into space, or that Indians were savages. Even vaccines have a history.........and though in reference to sheer numbers, it seems good. What about the 1 in 500,000 that has a reaction? Obviously for some parents the benefits outweight the risks........but for others it doesn't.......and shouldn't they have the choice to protect their child? Think about it. If someone told you that you had to play Russian roulette(sp?) with your child, and there was even a minute chance that you would lose your child........would you play the game? Because that's what we're doing........we are playing a game of numbers and chance with our children. The chances of developing a childhood disease like measles or mumps are slim to none......but childhood cancers are on the rise. What is the trade off for not allowing children to fight off diseases naturally until medical intervention is needed?
