I have to be honest, I'm getting ROYALLY ticked off with people getting in my face about my decision to delay vaccines for this little one and when I decided to vaccine (if I even do) that I will be selecting the important ones.
I'm sick of people telling me that my child was not vaccine damaged. I'm sick of the biased vaccine studies saying that I don't know what happened to my son. A child doesn't go from being a chatty 17 month old to getting his vaccines, spiking a fever that night and then not speaking again for a year and a half.
I'm sick of people telling me, well just because it happened to Wesley doesn't mean it will happen to this baby. A girlfriend of mine would not get off the topic, studies this, studies that (she hasn't read anything besides whats in the newspapers). Finally I said to her. "If the doctors gave you a medicine and said it was important you take it and then the next day you miscarried. The next time you were pregnant, Would you take that same medicine, even if they said it was not related? Oh course her answer was no. She way in God's name would I stick this baby with tons of viruses and heavy metals when I know those same viruses and heavy metals nearly destroyed my son's life??
I am his mother. I know better then you do about my son. I know what happened to him. You don't. I don't care what that study that was funded by a vaccine company says. I don't care that the people who say vaccines are safe or not (who happen to be share holders in the particular vaccine that is up for approval) says.
I'm not going to let my baby go unprotected. I am going to breastfeed as long as I can and use naturopathic ways to protect my children. Our naturopathic doctor did what our pediatricians couldn't do. She saved my son. So who am I going to trust?
I'm not telling you not to vaccinate your child. Do as you will. Please make sure they are healthy and don't give them Tylenol after. But what you do is what you do, in the end they are not my children and I am not responsible. What I do know is that, I am not interested in trying to save another child from what my son has gone through if I don't have to. So please do no try and talk me into it. Really your not changing my mind, your just pissing me off.
Good Day.
I know exactly how you feel! We choose not to vaccinate our two daughters. Even our parents have gotten mad at us. To the point of screaming matches. We argue with everyone it seems when it get's brought up. We've even lost friends over it. We know a couple who lost their daughter to an allergic reaction to a vaccine, and one couple who's son had a massive seizure causing their son to loose most physical functions. He is now confined to a wheel chair for life, and has very little interaction with the world. He was 18 months old and one of the funniest kids I had ever met. I cried for weeks and he wasn't even my son. It's worth arguing about, ti's worth standing up for. It's worth taking the crap over... to know we're doing what WE THINK is best! You go women! GO GO GO! Do what you need to.
