Child Vaccination

[RMCubal]

I would like to know if anyone out there has read the article on "Dangers of Vaccination" from the following site:
http://www.ghchealth.com/vaccinations-the-hour-of-the-time.html

This disturbs me as my wife is very fond of having getting and up-todate Vaccination for our only daughter.

What RockRose and Mayflowers said is right on track. But really, if you feel disconcerted about any vaccines for your daughter, do this:
Sit down with your wife and research *credible* vaccine information (such as from the CDC or health sites that are not a ".com"). Decide where you'd like to go from there, and then talk with the pediatrician *after* you've educated yourselves about the vaccines.
I feel there are a few required vaccines that should not be required, or even recommended. But I'm not going to disregard all vaccinations for my son because of a few that I feel he does not need at a young age, if ever (such as the chickenpox vaccine--I wish I had researched that one before it was given to my son, otherwise I'd never have had him vaccinated for chickenpox).
But for things like whooping cough, polio, tetanus, mumps, measles, rubella, and whatever else there is out there that can maime, hospitalize, or kill a child, I'd never pass up that vaccine.

I read this post earlier and just didn't have the time to respond, but RockRose and mayflowers said it perfectly.

I'm sure you wouldn't be considering not vaccinating if you had been around to see what these deadly diseases did to young children and their families before vaccinations.

Amen to what RockRose is saying.  Vaccines have helped eradicate diseases that killed or mame ppl.  They save lives.  I get so upset when I read abt a child that dies from the mumps all b/c their parents didn't believe in vaccines.  It's child abuse and the parents should be jailed if this were to happen.  It's actually borders on stupidity and if you are stupid, you shouldn't be having children in the first place.  

Please get your child vaccinated, don't believe the conspiracy rubbish.  You're saving your kids life.

I think the same people who are susceptible to this propoganda,  that vaccines are actually a conspiracy foisted on us by the med labs,  and not only do they NOT work,  they cause the spread of disease,  are the same people who think the US didn't land on the moon and think the terror attacks of 911 were perpetrated by the US government on our own people.  

I honestly believe that conspiracy nuts have brains that would look visually different under brain scan testing - that you could actually see,  in a lab,  different brain wave patterns of people who believe this kind of silliness.  It's a mental illness,  and I believe it to be an actual organic brain dysfunction.

Vaccinations DO work.  I was 2 when the polio vaccine came into wide use,  and what a gift from God and science that was!

Vaccines aren't perfect,  and in rare instances they don't work.  Or there isn't enough science on some of them to know how long they will last - like the chicken pox vaccine,  for example.  OR,  there are mistakes made in the manufacture that turn out to be dangerous practices,  and then those mistakes are corrected even though in the process some people's health has been compromised or ruined.

But don't think for one minute,  RM,  that the drug companies are conspiring to poison us all with vaccines that do no good and do only harm,  and they know about it and are keeping mum.  How many people,  do you think,  would have to be in on this conspiracy?  Millions.

It's preposterous.    Please don't step in the way of your wife getting appropriate medical care for your daughter,  or fill their heads with hoodoo.
