re: are your kids vaccinated?

But can you tell me what the basis is for changing the schedule?

Vaccines have chemicals that are dangerous to humans in them. Especially really tiny humans.

Vaccines can and do (though rare) cause serious irrevocable side effects to humans for reasons not totally known.

Is it possible that injecting your 2 month old with 4-5 doses of poison at a time might increase the risk of said side effects over maybe 1 or 2 doses? I don't know for sure but common sense tells me that the less dangerous substances being put into my child's system at a time the better.

I understand these instances are very rare but they do happen and I know of two people that it happened to.

They contain poisonous components.

My children were all vaccinated - with the exception of pertussis - my wife reacted to it as a child and it was determined the risk profile was acceptable to skip it (in fact, my mother actually contracted pertussis as a child). I'm fairly certain that all 3 have now been vaccinated as adults (certainly 2 out of 3), without incident.

Having said that, I am mildly concerned with the increase of the number of innoculations and the rate and early age at which they expect children to be vaccinated - almost anything you put into your body has the potential to react with other things. Combining the dosages, earlier and more frequent dosing, etc., are always a legitimate concern. The younger you are, the more potential permanent damage you can incur from drugs, vaccines, etc.

But, at the end of the day, clearly vaccines for common childhood illnesses have been a boon to mankind. The risk/benefit analysis leans heavily to the benefit side. All children should be vaccinated, with few exceptions.

I would like to them to make single use, preservative free vaccines available - I didn't know this at the time if my childhood vaccinations, but I am allergic to Thimerosal - I learned this using contact lens products containing this Mercury-derived preservative. While it continues to be used in the United States, at least they have adjusted the protocol for under 6 year olds, the amount of mercury exposure per shot, etc.

Is the reaction to the vaccine that bad?

Obviously, I wasn't there. But Mrs. Midnight's mother claims hers was life-threatening. Of course, she's an anti-vaccine nut and is widely disregarded on the issue by the rest of the family, now.

Mrs. Midnight is also allergic to penicillin, and is able to confirm that. But, again, fortunately no reactions to the vaccines as adults. No whooping cough. No problems.

I don't think he was serious about his god protecting his children. You and others got really upset over it, though.

I almost never ever never ever troll on here but I did, and now Yoda made me feel shitty about it by bringing up that post about my daughter. I'll never troll again!

ETA: My daughter has had more shots than Anthony Kiedis.

I'd say you need to review her friends and get control of the situation.
