5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids
People shouldn’t have to vaccinate their kids. In fact, parents absolutely know what’s best for their kids in every situation, which is why you’ve never heard of a mom calling a doctor at two AM because her child has a fever.

Moms automatically know exactly what to do. They know better than anyone what their child needs or doesn’t need.
That’s why the vaccination debate is so ridiculous to me…because moms inherently know more than everyone. Which brings me to this… 5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids.

When a woman conceives a child, the entirety of human knowledge is written into her essence and as that child is brought forth unto this world, that knowledge flowers in her mommy brain and every decision she makes for her child is absolutely the right, and only right decision.
So who are we to judge those moms that choose NOT to vaccinate THEIR kids?

Before you get your mom panties in a knot, hear me out…
5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids
1. You don’t like them, anyway.
I get it. Some kids are just born a little more awful than others. So if your plan is to not vaccinate your kid in hopes that they’ll catch some horrible virus that’ll off them so you can start over, sure. That makes total sense.
It’s evil, and disgusting, and I hope you get a million fire ant bites, but hey, the good news is that’s less likely to happen to you than your child catching something deadly because you’re an inherent dumb-dumb.

2. You’re more scared of big scientific sounding words than you are of viruses that have killed millions upon millions of people.
I get it! Vaccines have a lot of big, scary words. And, some of the ingredients in vaccines have been linked to carcinogenic risks and I bet even a very eensy teensy tiny portion of the population might be allergic to some of the ingredients and they might have a bad reaction.
Know what? That’s why the doctor keeps you at the office for 15 minutes after your child receives a vaccine. That way if they react, the doctor can fix it. Nifty set up, huh?

As for the scary words, know what other scientific word kills people? Dihydrogen monoxide. And yet you still put it into your body every single day. So put away your dictionary, and stop freaking out over words that you maybe don’t understand.

3. You believe all internet memes are true.
“Gandhi was against vaccines. A mother flipping meme told me so.” Yeah, I’ve seen that meme. And I’ve looked it up. And you know what he compared vaccines to? Eating beef.
Vaccines are as bad as eating beef because cows and all life is sacred. So here’s where that comes from: the small pox vaccine was derived from cows infected with cow pox. Which means that every person who received a small pox vaccine was being given a small amount of cow.

I can definitely understand why a man whose religion holds cows as sacred would be against being injected with one. But unless you, too, are a fruitarian (which he was), perhaps you should put down your Big Mac and go get your kids their freakin’ vaccines.
4. You’d rather your children build their immunity to things like polio and measles naturally…just like you did.
Oh, wait. You didn’t have polio did you. Know why? ‘CAUSE YOUR PARENTS GOT YOU VACCINATED!
5. You know more about vaccines from that one article you read online than your pediatrician knows after eight years of higher education and thousands of hours of study.
I’ll just let the people in this video address that one…
Look, I understand that I don’t live in your house, I’ve not experienced your life and I certainly can’t judge you for your parenting choices. But I’m going to anyway.
Not getting your children vaccinated is really stupid. Like, it’s really stupid.

It makes me furious and makes the blood in my veins boil with hatred toward you for putting your children in such a vulnerable and dangerous position. And if it just affected YOUR children, I might even be able to hold back my vitriol; but, it doesn’t.
Your infected child can infect a child who is too young to be vaccinated. Your child can infect a child who is fighting cancer, or whose immunity has been compromised by something else entirely out of their control.

YOUR child can act as a walking time bomb and spread illnesses that haven’t been around for years all because the idea of giving them a medically sound shot scares you.
Your child deserves better. Get your kids vaccinated. Don’t be that parent that we all hate.
Jamie’s Note: To those parents who can’t vaccinate because their child is immunocompromised, or allergic, etc. this obviously isn’t directed at you. In fact, you should be the most pissed off at the people who don’t vaccinate their perfectly healthy children– because that is how your children stay safe!

DEAR MOM OF THE CHILD WHO JUST CUT HER OWN HAIR…
DEAR FAT CHICKS: YOU NEED TO STOP
I JUST WATCHED A WOMAN GIVE BIRTH…TO A DOLL…




Really?? That is why the doctor keeps you 15 minutes longer, so if there is a reaction they can fix it. You are so ignorant, and I mean that literally.
Reactions aren’t always that immediate. And the toxins can accumulate, so there is not reaction to the first vaccine, but then on the second.
You DO realize that MOST women who do not vaccinate chose this after finding out that their child/children had an underlying condition causing immunocompromise AFTER THE FACT, right???
A mother should NEVER be forced to make a decision that is uninformed. I know women whose children have DIED because a child had a condition that was contraindicative of vaccination. Because of my own son’s issues, I do not vaccinate my other children, since there is no assurance that the same will not happen to them.
Mothers do not know their child should not get vaccinated… Until they are. That should give EVERYONE pause.
EDUCATE yourself before you write big, loud mouthed articles making fun of a really serious matter.
having worked in a fever hospital in 1951 when vaccination (immunization) against Diphtheria was not universal and having watched an unvaccinated child die from Diphtheria after his elder sibling had died of the same disease I can only say from experience that resisting immunising shots for children is stupid and perhaps criminal.Small Pox has been eradicated by vaccination .Polio almost disappeared when polio immunization was introduced, and similarly Measles. The number of deaths and disabilities resulting from these illnesses far outweigh the occasional damage to the rare child who is immunocompromised.

Too bad I actually read the ingredients in vaccines if I hadn’t I would have vaccinated my kids. I wouldn’t want to put aborted fetal cells, monkey DNA, bovine DNA, mercury, formaldehyde….and the list goes on. I am not making this up. This is all on the CDC website. Also, I had 4 shots of polio within a few months when I was a child now I have scoliosis and studies show a direct link between polio vaccine and scoliosis.
Seems like you really need to educate yourself on vaccines.
Brilliant 🙂 FDA is organized crime, this guy’s a Muppet.
You do realize those elements are in the vaccine in parts per billion? in quantities that would never be able to hurt you?
Jesus christ, it’s like you people want to die.
im betting you already put bovine DNA in your kid. They also put the equivalent of fetal cells in their body every day.
They also eat mercury anytime they have seafood.
So what about King Richard III? He had scoliosis and he lived hundreds of years before vaccines.
Are you an idiot, you can’t get scoliosis from a vaccine and you sure in the hell can’t get a vaccine to prevent it. So very dumb.
One who calls his/her doctor 2am to ask the doctor for a fever should never give his opinion about this issue. Just using this as an example is a display of ignorance.
I know people do it, somehow expecting doctors have some psychic powers and diagnose using the phone.
If you dare calling people stupid at least review your arguments first. If you think knowledge and only be acquired in uni,why are you writing about it? Shut up.
Anyway, wise people look stupid for the ignorant.
Shame on you for pitting mothers against each other because of vaccination. It’s very singleminded to assume that parents who choose not to vaccinate are doing so because they saw a viral meme or read only article on the subject. That could not be farther from the truth.
Yeah let´s cater to the emotions of the mothers , not the health of the children. Oh wait , these people are not protecting the health of their offspring because of vanity and ignorance. Shame on them and shame on you for protecting them.
Epic. I refuse to engage or be around people who don’t vaccinate. I wasn’t vaccinated and was so sick for so long. Measles, whooping cough the lot.
how are you today?
Alove – inlike many who were not immunized !
Yes
What a stupid article
Completely condescending post. Just because one questions the “experts” does not make said person ignorant. Some people believe all facts pushed on them from scientists and doctors. I work with scientists and doctors, and I suggest you question everything! What next, mandatory HPV Vaccines? Where do you recommend it stops, or do we just follow along blindly, as you suggest?
So question the people who know a shitton more about the topic than you do?
Distrust those whose purpose in their career is to keep you safe and un-ill?
Ok, stay paranoid, fam,
You sound like that dyed-in-the-wool creationist Don McLeroy – ex-Chairman of BoE in Texas. One of the most hilarious scenes of the Cobert Report was when he said “Yes, someone has to stand up to experts!” Because what do they know with all their facts, research, data, and, um, expertise?
The opposite of knowledge is ignorance, and the opposite of expert knowledge is, well, your position. When your expertise is ignorance, you can stand against any and all knowledge.
Completely stupid article. Big pharma is using scare tactics on the masses and this is the result. I vaccinated my kids and lived to regret it. I wish I would have taken the time to learn the true damage vaccinations could cause to my children rather then listen to stupid articles like this and big pharma.
I weep for your children.
What do you say to those parents who’ve children suffered brain damage from vaccination? Is that just collateral damage?
The writer clearly didn’t think this. Through. Completely one sided propaganda.
And all the butt-hurt anti-vaxxers come out of the wood work with words such as dumb a**, b*tch and many other profanities to show how well educated they are on this issue. Saying things like “they inject these viruses into their tiny little bodies” is just many of the moronic sentences that make me scratch my head and wonder just how well researched and informed they really are. The viruses are dead people, DEAD….they can’t harm your precious bundle of joy.
This ‘article’ is easily one of the dumbest and most infuriating responses to the vaccine debate I have ever read. Talk about making ones blood boil, I think if I met this woman, I would punch her in the face and then forcibly vaccinate her with every shot on the schedule. Yeah, I said it. And IDGAF. If she has the audacity to outright state that parents who don’t vaccinate want to see their children die, she should put her life where her mouth is, IMO. Go ahead and come at me with your responses about how I’m ignorant for resorting to petty threats and the like. Again, IDGAF. I am so fed up with all you sheep who clearly know next to nothing about this issue casting your harsh judgements and making bold statements (that you CANNOT back up) as if they were facts. You are all so f-ing dumb. The truth isn’t even hard to find, the very manufacturers of these vaccines openly state the truth on the vaccine inserts themselves if any of you morons cared to read them. If you want to risk your kids life to maybe prevent some mostly innocuous disease, knock yourself out. But I’ll be damned if you will force me to do so. Sad truth is, people like you won’t change their minds unless their own child falls victim and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Not even small minded morons like you. As for those claiming an unvaccinated kid can ‘murder millions’…you are just so dumb it almost puts me at a loss for words. I mean really, how did you survive to adulthood being this stupid? How has life not put you out of your misery yet? If you were a virgin and you had sex with a prostitiute and then subsequently were diagnosed with an STD, would you believe the prostitiute when he/she told you that you infected them? Because that’s the same logic used when blaming unvaccinated kids for infecting the vaccinated. As for giving a pass to the immunocompromised, first off, ALL BABIES ARE EFFECTIVELY IMMUNOCOMPROMISED in that they have not had the chance to build up antibodies yet. And did it ever occur to you that many parents don’t know that their child is immunocompromised until AFTER they are vaccinated and already suffering the consequences? Also, are you aware that the immunocompromised are more in danger of catching these diseases from the recently vaccinated than they are from the unvaccinated? How about the recent revelation that natural exposure to childhood measles prevents cancer later in life? Or that the majority of the time all of these diseases are asymptomatic, causing little to no harm whatsoever? No, of course not. Because that knowledge would require actual, genuine research and the capability of having an original thought. People get sick, deal with it. People will die. It sucks but it’s life and we cannot circumvent it. All efforts to do so eventually prove to do far more harm than good. Vaccines were not originally meant for the masses nor were they intended to be given to infants. And the fact that they keep rapidly multiplying in numbers and are being mandated by the govt. is cause for concern to anyone with an ounce of intelligence. I truly can’t wait till the truth is widely accepted and all you arrogant assholes feel the weight of guilt knowing you poisoned your own children and bullied countless others into poisoning their children as well.
“Not getting your children vaccinated is really stupid. Like, it’s really stupid. It makes me furious and makes the blood in my veins boil with hatred toward you for putting your children in such a vulnerable and dangerous position.

She is ADVOCATING vaccines, read!
Very, VERY well written. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Sad thing is you are the sheep.
Gtfoh, you nailed it! Thank you! They either are too blind and stupid to research for themselves or a paid Pharma troll spewing nonsense AGAIN and believing we’re too stupid to notice. God, give me a break from this idiocy!
“Forcibly vaccinate her with every shot on the schedule.” LoL. In case you have forgotten, the author is pro-vaccination. She is already vaccinated and clearly living without conditions, and she knows a very, very small chance for disabilities is better than dying to a disease that should have died out years ago like your kids probably will. Calling someone ignorant is laughable when you think you know more than 99.9% of the worlds doctors who have spent 10+ years of their life studying medicine. That is ignorance. If you want to prove vaccines are not worth it, please, go to school and get your PhD. IF after all those years, you still believe they are bad for you then we can start talking, but until then, the doctors know way way way way more than you and you need to accept that before your kids die from your ignorance. Please, just use some common sense to agree that a minuscule chance for complications is better than a high chance of death from these very deadly diseases. Don’t be part of the reason polio, the measles, and more come back from near extinction.
I would add that in addition to getting a PhD one would also have to do original medical research, have it peer reviewed and published. Then come to me with the findings – not just a belief. Yours was a good response to such nonsense.
What is truly ironic to me is that you can only call diseases like polio, measles, rubella etc inoccuous BECAUSE of those vaccines you are so adamantly against! As a person who grew up in an era where these diseases were for the most part irradicated you have no concept of what they really look like. I suggest talking to your grandparents or other older people about what it was like living through outbreaks of those diseases before vaccinations. You are entitled to your opinion but you would sure look more intelligent if you chose your words more carefully.
People get sick and we should just “deal with it”? By that logic, diabetics don’t need insulin, asthmatics don’t need inhalers, epileptics don’t need seizure medications, etc. Let’s all stop listening to our doctors and. The scientists/researchers and go back to a life expectancy of 30.
I can only assume this author/ blogger has no children. Immunizations are a serious issue. You’re injecting the tiny little bodies of your beloved children with strands of these viruses. It should be solely up to the parents to decide what’s best for their little ones and not be judged.
You inject a very very small amount of the virus, yes. Along with a large amount of the vaccine in order to train your body to kill the virus on sight. That’s how vaccines work, and they do work with 99.99999% success. If your kid is NOT vaccinated he/she has a very LOW chance of survival if she/he contracts these diseases without the training vaccines give to your body.
OK so my child has a very low chance of surviving chicken pox, I can’t wait to find someone with chicken pox so my kids can get it over and done with!!!
I could say some much right now. Use words like “idiot”, “dumb a**” etc. But I won’t. I’ll just say I disagree with this bigotry and be on my way.
Because you totally didn’t just use those words in your post. Nice try…
The 5 examples you use assume that all anti vaxers are idiots and haven’t done their own hunt for facts and figures. IMO neither has the author of this article whom probably was paid via a subsidiary of a major corporation backed by Big Pharma and didn’t do her research into who was actually paying for her main stream media opinion. Be a Big Girl and let your readers read this!
You know who HAS done their research? Every single doctor in the world who coincidentally think vaccines are very very good for you to get. Literally 10+ years of studying medicine and 99.9% of all doctors think vaccines are a good idea. Just because you’ve read some random internet post saying they are bad (because everything on internet is always true /sarcasm), doesn’t mean you are even remotely close to knowing as much about vaccines as doctors do. Personally, I’m not educated enough in the slightest to say if they are good or not, but the doctors who are very specialized and knowledgeable in medicine say they are good, so I have half a brain to go along with their opinion.
Let your child,and hundreds of millions live because you vaccinated them. In the ’50’s polio was rampant in the US and elsewhere. The vaccines saved you, your children, and the future. Remember how you safely arrived where you are right now. Not anti vac, not Gluten free, because you had multiple vaccinations. Thank god or whoever, but pay it forward. Zika could be next.
Gee. My Father contracted Polio 2 years before the vaccine was developed. He had one of the worst cases (strains) and yet my Mother and then born brothers who lived in the same home etc….never contracted it. Look at the numbers starting from the 1800’s not the 1900’s and you’ll actually learn most of the disease which laws require we vax our children for in the big real picture had almost died out naturally on their own. Keep believing your main stream news bought and paid for by hidden links to the Big Pharma and keep lining their pockets….it’s your money!
You obviously don’t have a clue how disease vectors work, but that’s ok. Nature has a way of weeding out the anti-vaxxers, since their kids die a horrible death and don’t pass on their genes.
sadly that is not always the case…. we are having risk of contract the mutated disease thanks to the ignorant.
Well i lucky to be born in country where vaccine are required or face legal action.
This hate-filled article lacks one thing: FACTS.
You don’t talk about the FACTS. You don’t talk about what is actually inside these vaccinations. You don’t even read the vaccination inserts. Can you kindly tell me what’s Aluminium hydroxide got to do in the poor toddlers body? Or thimerosal, a very dangerous mercury compound? Aluminium compounds and mercury comounds are incredibly poisonous, neurotoxic, thanks to the needle they go directly into the brain. The brain is going to swell, cannot swell due to the skull, and the neokortex will be permanently damaged because it was pressed from the inside against the skull. Symptoms are high fever, very loud and unusual crying of the child even for weeks, due to tremendous headache. Autism, tinnitus, chronic fatigue is all linked to this poison attack mislabeled as “vaccination”.
In china the autism rate went up by 6000% instantly when they start giving the poor child the vaccination schedules.
In Japan, the “sudden infant death syndrome” went down when they decided not to vaccinate for the first two years!
People survived all sort of illnesses for thousands of years without this vaccination crap.
Also, the statistics is a lie. Some illnesses vanished due to better hygiene and better food, not because of vaccinations. Keep your child hygienic and well fed, and don’t hurt it with vaccines.
Are there really parents who don’t vaccinate their children? Vaccination is the single biggest life-saving intervention in the history of medicine. If people are too dumb to see that benefit, heaven help us.
I’ve stayed silent as opposed to being outspoken in regards to vaccines simply because of the controversial issue that it is. Partly because I’ve seen FB friends who are pro vaccine berate and belittle those who have made the choice to not vaccinate their child or children and I don’t care to join in that fight. Unfortunately, so many decisions to not vaccinate were made AFTER the occurrence of vaccine injury. Vaccine injuries exist and occur at an alarming rate. We don’t hear about them all simply because the diagnosis must be made by the same association that promotes them and many are covered up by false labels/diagnoses.
I’m here now to speak about rights. I will never tell you to not vaccinate your child. However, I will take the time to present to you something that slips through the cracks with so many medical doctors and that is INFORMED CONSENT. I offer this not only for vaccinations but any medical procedure deemed necessary and crucial by MD’s including circumcision, birth, disease and more. Ask questions, do your own research and make a FULLY informed decision. I may not agree with you vaccinating your newborn baby against a disease they may only come in contact with via sex, iv drug use or their own infected mother. I may not agree with surgically removing a very functional and important part of your newborn son’s penis without his say so in the matter (I GUARANTEE he would NOT consent to losing part of his penis if he had a voice!). I may not agree with a completely unnecessary intervention in your pregnancy. However, after offering full informed consent which is ALL of the facts surrounding the issue concerning BOTH sides of the matter and not only that which is an automatic and unquestioned “one size fits all” doctor’s perspective, I will fully respect your decision without judgement.
Our rights are now being threatened, folks. Laws that mandate vaccines in certain states exist. Here, in the United States of America children are being taken away from parents who are making the choice to not vaccinate their children or choose alternative treatments instead of chemotherapy for cancer.
Risk vs Benefits is a huge factor to consider and a perfect place to start when making any decision concerning your health or the health of your child. Don’t be naive. Don’t allow anyone to blindfold you against seeing the truth. You do not have to vaccinate according to schedule. You can delay vaccines. You can select and/or omit vaccines. You can go with a schedule that spreads them out and offers one at a time as opposed to several in one visit so there’s not as much shock to your child’s body.
I will adamantly and vehemently stand up to protect my rights concerning this matter and you should as well. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on, you must open your eyes to the big picture here. There are options. One option is to wait. You can always wait until your are fully comfortable with what is now and should remain YOUR decision to make. We are the most vaccinated and medicated country in the world, yet the unhealthiest. It’s time to wake up.
You might want to add, that your un-vaccinated child can also infect/kill millions of adult Americans who are immuno-compromised. Many adult cancer patients have severely compromised immune systems (e.g., there are about 1,000,000 Leukemia and Myeloma patients living post transplants/chemotherapy in this country.
I cannot see who wrote this meme on Internet. All that I can see it is that they didn’t cite any article; maybe because they never read any scientific work.
May I know, please, who is the author?
Sarcasm needs no citations. If it did, it wouldn’t be sarcasm.
How about 5 reasons to not pay your child support. 😉
Now we just need a vaccine to cure parental stupidity.
Using the MedAlerts search engine, which facilitates an online search of the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database, as of March 3rd, 2016 there have been 7692 serious adverse events Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in connection with measles vaccine since 1990, with over half of those occurring in children three years old and under. Of these events 397 were deaths with over half of the deaths occurring in children under three years of age. Adverse events following MMR vaccination reported to VAERS include:
lupus (autoimmune connective tissue disorder);
Guillain-Barre syndrome (inflammation of the nerves);
Encephalitis;
aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain);
deafness;
cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscle);
hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes (collapse/shock);
convulsions;
subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE);
ataxia (loss of ability to coordinate muscle movements);
parathesia (numbness, burning, prickling, itching, tingling skins sensation indicating nerve irritation)
Transverse Myelitis
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
So Kate Howard the same web site you quoted reports that there are 10,000,000 (yes that is 10 million) vaccines per year. You report that since 1990 there has been 7692 adverse reactions. That means in a quarter of a century there has been given 260,000,000 (260 million) vaccines on average. That equates to having less then 0.002% chance of having an adverse reaction. Just saying you are twice as likely to be murdered in your life time, being killed in in an auto accident. Or even more telling you are more likely to be struck down by lightning. So yes these things listed are horrible. But, before vaccines there was about 1000 babies and about the same for children and adults killed each year by the different things we inoculate for. That said you logic is that the 7700 injuries and deaths over the quarter of century is less then the thousands of deaths per year is not only illogical but also idiotic.
Yes, and those are just the ones that were reported and had an absolute causal relationship with the vaccine. There are many, many more injuries than are not known, reported and proven. Furthermore, even if the injury or death rate from vaccines was 1/ 1,000,000,000, if that one child was yours, how would you feel? An accident or murder is not planned and carried out by the same people who are supposed to be taking care of the child, not at all similar to a murderer or drunk driver. Not that I am against vaccines whole heartedly, but people need to realize that vaccines can injure and kill people, but the benefit to society has been an overall positive, not reassuring though if the one injured was your child….you are taking a calculated risk. And the government approved a preservative and forced people to inject this preservative into their children that is most likely the most toxic heavy metal known to man. Everything we do in life is a risk/benefit analysis, to pretend that there are not risks of vaccines and name calling is unacceptable. And before you start calling me an idiot, I am a board certified physician who graduated at the top of my medical school class and am a member of mensa. The rude, sarcastic treatment of people who are skeptical of following government mandates like a bunch of sheep has to stop.
Simply put, if it is a risk/benefit analysis, then the benefit clearly outweighs the risk for everyone
Ooh, 7,692 adverse reactions, not even deaths guys, in TWENTY SIX YEARS. Give me a break. Of the tens of millions of people who received vaccines less than 7.7k had an adverse reaction. Just curious, what are the statistics on DEATHS had none of those millions upon millions of people not been vaxxed? Prior to the measles vaccine almost everyone in the US got it at some point. Do you know what the cure for measles is? No? Neither do doctors. All they can do is give supportive treatment and hope your system fights it off.
In one year prior to the vaccine 15,000 people died from diphtheria. So your 7,692 were over 26 years, in one year double that amount died from ONE of the illnesses of we vaxx against.
By not vaxxing yourself or your kids you are LITERALLY running a significant risk of killing someone. Sadly it won’t be you, it would probably be someone else, or their kid. A kid fighting cancer could die, not from cancer, but from your unvaxxed kid exposing them to an illness their immune system can’t fight off. If the situation were reversed and you knew your kid could have recovered from the cancer if not for some ignorant parent making the most selfish decision you can make as a human being how would you feel? I bet you’d be mad.
“Oh but my kid isn’t sick”, neither was Typhoid Mary. Your kid can be a carrier of all kinds of nasty pathogens and you never know it. But that newborn baby who’s mom had to take to the store to get diapers, that baby can catch your kid’s bug, it would likely kill that baby.
The gift of giving with vaccines never stops. It’s not just someone else’s kid you could be murdering, how about a mother or father with an autoimmune disorder or cancer? Surely their kids would understand why you refused to get your kid vaxxed. How about a pregnant mom? During pregnancy the immune system is lowered so the body doesn’t reject the fetus. How great would it feel to know that you single handedly killed a mother AND her baby in one go by not vaxxing? Two for the price of one!
Yea, sorry if I don’t really give a crap over 7,692 adverse reactions in TWENTY SIX years when there is so much else on the line.
Lets go back in time. My grandparents would gladly trade their inability to hear for an mmr. My uncle would willingly trade his deafness and other disabilities for a dpt. My childhood friend, my close friend’s dad and numerous school mates wished they had been a little older and able to take the polio vaccine before they were infected as infants… remember. .. it was called infant paralysis.
Amen!
I’d trade the nerve damage on my face for a Chickenpox vaccination. I am in the last age group before that became standard. At the age of 32 developed Shingles (which is a reactivation of dormant Chicken Pox virus) on my face which threatened the vision in my right eye.
I got better and the infection didn’t reach my eye thanks to some very expensive anti-viral medications, but I have a line of damaged nerves from the tip of my nose to the top of my head. Even years later often feels like I have fire ants randomly biting me. No medication or treatment has made it go away, all I can do is lessen the severity with topical capsaicin. Whenever I hear anyone say chickenpox isn’t so bad I want to slap them silly.
Yes you have a choice about vaccination.
But if you have ever seen an unvaccinated toddler struggle for breath with whooping cough, straining his chest, his neck, his whole being for breath and
Finally dying, too exhausted to breathe. It is a terrible sight. I hope you never experience it. I as a health care professional can never forget that sight. I can
Never forget the anguish of the child’s parents who “just weren’t sure vaccination was the best thing”.
Think about it.
