Dear Listers,

Unfortunately you are too young to remember the horrible things that
happened to children before vaccines.

Pleas wake UP!

Unfortunately you are too naive if you think that dumping 20 different shots
into our infants' bodies isn't a practice that has potential to do some
serious damage. One smallpox shot is one thing, but you don't seem to
realize what they are doing to infants these days. When my first daughter
was 2 months old, at her doctor's insistance, she received three shots,
vaccinating against 5 different diseases. She has never been the same. It
got worse when she received more shots.

As for the notion that these diseases are lurking in the corner somewhere,
waiting for the opportunity to jump on the nearest poor unvaccinated child
to start another epidemic, please remember two major factors which
contribute to epidemic: diet, hygeine and overall health, and the economic
state of the nation. The polio outbreak which followed the Great Depression
was no coincidence. The nation was still in a state of weakness all-around.
My grandmothers talk about having to live on soup bones, wild animals and
cultivated and forraged vegetables for years; then they get money and buy
bread and milk, and everyone gets sick. Duh.

Disease and death are a part of life. It is foolish to subject our children
to an extremely high number of vaccines in such a short time (by 18 months,
they get about 20 shots if vaccinated "on schedule") for the sake of
protecting them against illnesses which probably would not become serious in
a healthy child anyway. Would you rather your child died of leukemia because
of vaccine exposure, at least this is a disease that is "nobody's
fault"...(until they manufacture a leukemia vaccine)...And nevermind the
risk of damagine their little bodies and brains in the process, just
guarantee me that my child will survive an epidemic? Please. This is why the
issue of vaccination remains a very spiritual, religious, philisophical or
deeply personal issue.

Saying we need to vaccinate our children because otherwise they could die is
like saying we need to feed them bread because otherwise they will die. And
in the end, our children will eventually die. We just hope that it happens
only after they have lived a fulfilling life.
