There is one thing to keep in mind for all you people that don't vaccinate: If everyone else stopped vaccinating, what would you do? What would you do, knowing that there would be a HUGE risk of your child contracting a seriously painful and deadly disease? Would you not be the first one breaking down the door of the clinic to get your child vaccinated?

most of the things we vax againsnt today aren't huge painful diseases...chickenpox, flu, whooping cough, rotavirus

Rotavirus almost killed my son. There is a vax for that? My children are all vax'd and they had it several times.......maybe we don't vax for that?

if you just watch the movie (or do your own research for that matter) instead of blah-blah-blah, you will see that VPDs declined 80-90% BEFORE vaccines were even on the picture due to soap, clean water, hygiene, refrigerators (etc). As did a LOT of diseases we have NO vaccines for. THERE IS NO WAY vaccines can take credit for it…

rotavirus can be serious but so can a lot of things...90% of children under 5 will get rotavirus...which is basically diarehha...yet we vax for it. If you don't mind me asking how did he almost die from it? was it dehydration or something like that?

So true!
what about measles, mumps and rubella that were always considered MILD childhood diseases with some great benefits to the body from overcoming them...

How old was your son?
In most cases diseases can be dangerous only to a tiny baby, who can't have all sets of shots by this age anyway. Or immuno-compromised kids (which is a contradiction to vaccines)
As for the rotavirus vaccine, it was pulled out of the market after just six months because it caused huge amount of serious side affect that required an immediate surgery. Nice.

that's true...it was causing the babies intestines to wrap around themselves if I remember this right

My son was almost a year old and had his vax. It just came out both ends so fast that I could not keep fluids in him so yes he was getting dehydrated pretty fast. It was horrible.
I don't think they gave them the rota virus vax, I'm pretty cautious of what they put in my kids and I would have remembered that one. Unless it has another name.
They catch the rota virus here and there, our dr's said you usually only catch it once..........uhhhh that was bs. I knew by the smell.

fallon · 02-07-2008, 07:58 AM

even with the vax they get it...which is why I lose faith in all these vaxs
