What diseases are you worried about my child getting?

None of my kids use drugs intravenously. They are also not sexually active. That nixed Hepatitis B, for example.

I took a good, long look at the risk factors for the vaccine-"preventable" (remember, a vaccinated child can still get a disease) diseases. I evaluated whether my children fit into those categories. I researched what medical care my children would need, have access to, and be able to receive in the event they did contract a disease. And since none of that was very scary, I chose to not inject them with foreign substances.

I completely 100% stand by my decision. I believe my children are healthier for NOT having a slew of vaccines.

Thanks for the beautiful siggy, Mandy!

Hi Nycha,

Welcome to the vaccination debate board. First off your son Jayden is really cute. Nice siggy.

If you read back in the posts on the board you'll find out we did vax, we did trust our Doctor, etc. Alas we did this for 18 months including a more aggressive hep b vaccine schedule because I am a carrier.

However my daughter had several adverse events after hep b vaccination involving seizures. We were LUCKY - no permanent damage but when our Doctor said to us she was stopping Hep B vaccination and writing public health because she was worried. We started to ask questions and do some research and were SHOCKED at what we found out. We have since decided to no longer vaccinate. I like to make my bias known right away :)

This is the process we used to do our research: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ppvaccinedb&ft=1&ctx=128&cacheTag=x10-28&ld=8/21/2008%2016:34&gfc=1&msg=4252.2

I personally believe that ALL parents should go through a similar process, even those that vaccinate, to ensure they are making "informed" decisions and understand all the issues.

I wish I had taken the time to do my own research on the topic prior to ever having DD vaccinated. I BLINDLY trusted my Doctor. Never again.

So long as a parent has made an "informed" decision to vaccinate (or not) I can respect both decisions equally.

"I feel bad for all those babies and kids who are not being vaccinated:("

I don't feel bad for children that are being "vaccinated" or being "unvaccinated" - it's a personal decision and I respect other people's decisions about how they wish to treat their children whether or not I personally agree/disagree. I simply ask for the same respect in return.

Do you also feel sorry for the children injured or killed by the vaccine they received?

Vaccines destroyed my son, he deteriorated before our eyes, it was gut wrenching and the drs were no help at all, not in 1999, not today.

You can read a bit about my experience and some links to just some of the information I have come across in my search for answers.

Don't feel sorry for my children, my fifth child is the only one who hasn't received any vaccines. He turns 6 yrs old next week and has yet to take any type of medication.

In my researched opinion- vaccinations are dangerous and someday I pray the truth will come out and babies lives will be saved. Yes- there is always a rare risk of dying from a natural disease or tragedy- this risk is even less now that we have better hygiene and sanitation (scarlett fever delined in rate and severity WITHOUT any vaccines)- but the very REAL risk of being injured or having a chronic illness or DYING from the vaccinations *meant* to protect our little ones is more frightening to me and MUCH more likely.

Here is a year and a half worth of dying babies following routine infant shots (usually classified as SIDS deaths -TYPICAL! ) I did a search with the VAERS government reporting system for babies 0-2 who have died after getting their shots- 125 babies in 1.5 years.... scary... much more scary to me than them getting the natural diseases. :-( http://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/fin...0&SORTING=NONE

Research- Educate- Inform yourself! I feel sorry for all the babies whose lives are being stolen from them...that is heartwrenching.
