I have researched vaccinations extensively.  I am a Hospital Corpsman in
the Navy so I have to administer them to Navy personnel.  For my own
children I am very leary.  My personal decision, after much reading, was
to only get those that had the least damaging effects versus the disease
they protect from being the most deadly.  For example:  For a child, it
is somewhat silly to get the Chickenpox (varicella) vaccine.  The
younger the child, the less serious the disease.  However, I did
recommend to my elderly, underweight mother to be vaccinated.
Chickenpox could kill her, so the vaccine is of greater benefit.

I am exceptionally leary of Pertussis vaccine.  My children did not get
it.  The risk of encephalitis is there, and I don't want to risk it.
Their chances of getting it are very slim.  However, I do plan to get
them the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) someday when they are older and
can handle it better, because of the risk to their unborn children later
from German Measles mostly)(they are both girls).  I still can't
understand why it took the US government SO long to accept the
acellular(SAFER) vaccine, when it had been used in Japan for years.
Maybe I've been watching the X-Files to much <g>.  Anyway, my
recommendation, is - as in any subject- to carefully research the facts
on the vaccine AND the illness.  Figure out the pros and cons, and make
an informed decision.  Just as we have with our diet choices!  We know
by now that accepting the AMA's recommendations without thought is not
always wise.  (Hmm, maybe that high carb thing is right?? The AMA thinks
so..... NOT)

Anyway, just a IMHO.  I hate to buy into anything wholesale without
research.

Dear Clare,

I have an autistic son who was normal at birth and was injured by vaccination.
There are thousands of children, mostly unreported, who are being injured by
vaccines. There is an epidemic of severe handicaps, including autism,
resulting from so many vaccinations, at such early ages.

 In Japan, they were having a big problem with autism and other neurological
damage in children. They changed their immunization schedules to allow
vaccines only after the child has reached two years old.  Guess what, autism
is almost completely GONE in Japan, at least up to the age of 2 years.
After two years old, when the kids get their vaccines, the
neurological/encephalitis  problems start up.

Dogs are injured by vaccines, thousands are maimed/killed.

 Any veterinary researcher who starts researching this finds he/she no
longer has a job.  Vaccines are the number one source of revenue for vets.

Vaccinating children is a multi billion dollar global business, very profitable.

Clare, you are right, absolutely.
