So vaccines aren't perfect?
I'm impressed you (being a bama fan) can spell petrie.
I got chicken pox at 17. Vaccines weren't around in my youth. Was exposed to it a lot as a youngster. Then one day bam. I've got it. Dr's told me that having it that late in life could cause me to be sterile. Fortunately it didn't.
Why did I not get it till then? Oh and I've had my wisdom teeth removed twice.
As far as mcdad. It's his kids. His house. His rules.
In other words, your dentist put you under some medication... cleaned your gums and teeth... let you sleep it off for a while... and then charged your insurance company for a procedure that never happened.
Really? So they'll stay home with my son when he's running a fever for a day or 2 after getting 3-4 doses? We have spread out the shots and my youngest reacts much better. That is being a parent and not believing what someone else says it's safe or good
My son ended up getting it anyway from the shot so did I essentially force my child to suffer because of the vaccine? Damn
We are not sure if my youngest will get the shot but I can assure you I will be making the most informed decision possible. I would say it will be more informed than some other parent blindly following the given schedule
Children should get vaccinated against preventable and potentially deadly diseases. Period.
That's what a review of more than 20,000 scientific studies on childhood vaccines concludes this week. The review appears in the latest edition of the medical journal Pediatrics.
The evidence strongly suggests that side effects from vaccines are incredibly rare, the study authors said. They found no ties between vaccines and the rising number of children with autism, as a small but vocal group of anti-vaccine activists, including actors Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey, have said.
CDC Caught Hiding Data Showing Mercury in Vaccines Linked to Autism | Health Impact News
Health Impact News Editor Comments
In a press release issued recently, one that almost no mainstream media sources have bothered to report, it was announced that Dr. Brian Hooker had finally received documents from the CDC through a Freedom of Information Act that revealed the CDC had access to data linking Thimerosal in vaccines to autism, non-organic sleep disorders, and speech disorders.
Two members of Congress helped Dr. Hooker draft his letter to the CDC, after having spent nearly 10 years submitting over 100 Freedom of Information Acts to no avail.
This information, so far, has been completely blacked out of the mainstream media.
This information is very damaging to the CDC, which has stated for years that there are no studies linking the mercury of Thimerosal in vaccines to autism. You can watch for yourself in the video below the most recent testimony given by the CDC in the November 2012 Congressional Hearing on Autism, where they claim there are no studies linking Thimerosal to autism. Thimerosal is still used today in the flu shot that is administered to pregnant women and infants.
My mom was there and said it was about the same as what my sister got in the late 70s. So I'm trying to figure out exactly what the vaccine actually accomplished in my case. All I can see is that it might save parents a few days of sick time. Parents should feel free to make that kind of decision for their own children without being accused of child endangerment and hauled into court.No, absolutely not, you did it right. Unfortunately your child fell in the 2% that developed a case of chicken pox after getting the vaccine. It should have been a much more mild case however compared to actually getting chicken pox and not having the vaccine.
:crazy:Just dumb.
Did you actually read the CDC document that your nutjob blog is citing?
:crazy:
Exactly which part(s)?
The 1/10,000 down to 1/50 Autism rate since Thimerosal was introduced?
The act passed to protect manufactures from liability?
The 83 proven cases where damages have been awarded?
How about the one above where mercury levels are 25,000 times the allowable limit for water? Any idea what mercury does to a body?
The original study that "linked" autism to vaccines was proven to be junk science.
There is zero medical evidence (that I'm aware of) that definitively links vaccines to autism.
The efforts to prove this link has been going on since the mid-late 90s
Where is the proof? Numbers that show increased rates in autism is not proof.
the prevalence of autism has as much to do with the expansion of the spectrum and awareness as anything else. Everything else is pure conjecture with no definitive links other than people with a cause latching on. I've got an autistic kid and probably have done enough research for a post graduate degree on the topic.:crazy:

Yes and I also have personal experience from being given anthrax vaccination. How about you?
Of course, Dr. Andrew Wakefields study has been replicated in at least 28 other studies,
and no case has ever been won against Dr. Wakefield in a court of law.
Litigation is still pending, and one of the doctors who was a co-author in the study has been completely exonerated in the U.K.
