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.
"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..
I understand your position and it is a fine one to take.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
