Vaccination – Behind the Needle


By Deanne Schmid:

Vaccination can be a controversial and emotive issue when it comes to making a choice for our children. There are two extremes to the argument of whether to vaccinate and as we must either choose to do so or not, there is no middle ground. So why are more and more people choosing not to vaccinate? Vaccines are marketed as being safe effective and beneficial to health, but are they? The majority of people are still in the dark on the risks involved. With a wealth of information out there if you want to find it, the choice of saying yes or no needs to be an informed one, for every individual. How can anyone possibly make an informed choice on any subject without factual information?

Good post. Our children's doctor happens to be very conservation on vaccinations and has done some studies on the MMR with some connections to autism. Autism and its derivitives have grown to such extremes that now they have a questionaire they have you fill out at the annual checkups.
As parents, we are responsible to be well informed about the pros and cons concerning vaccinations. There was a time when it was a normal childhood thing to get the chicken pox, but now they are considering a 2nd vaccine for chicken pox. And shingles are now on the rise.
There are chemicals in the vaccines that you wouldn't dream giving to your children. (Phermalihyde in small amounts is one)
With all that being said, sometimes the pros outway the cons, but that is a parents' option and discretion of which ones and when they are given.

Sincerely,
Linda
