Question What would you do?

Hi, I have a 6 month old son. He is my only boy, I have 3 older girls. I have been doing alot of reading lately regarding shots and the possible link to Autism. I am absolutely terrified! I do not want my son to have any more vaccinations but I'm affraid my pediatrician might turn us away if I refuse. Not to mention schools that want parents to believe you MUST have your child immunized to enroll. For those of you who feel there IS a connection, would you get the shots or not?

Thank you so much
LE

While I do not belive my son got Autism from his vac. (looking back I belive that there was always something wrong). I do belive that in some cases there is a conection. I think some of the people I have talked to say that you can request a thermasal free vac. (I hope I spelled it right), which is soposed to be better.

Please base your decision on what YOU think, from your reading, reseacrh, gut instinct and beleifs. Not on what other parents would do or not do. Where will these ppl be if (God forbid) anything goes wrong and your baby ends up damaged from either the disease or the vaccine? Once you have made up your mind, be certain, be staunch, and do not be bullied. I know ppl who decided not to vaccinate and then end up in tears and change their minds because their Dr or mother in law shouted at them.

I have found that those who are committed to their decision usually get less hassled than those who kinds decide half heartedly. I live in New Zealand where my right to choose non vaccination is respected and protected in law. I do however know that EVERY STATE in the US has exemption laws. And if you do not want to, you do not have to - even if you have to fight a bit. I have a good exemption letter you are able to use if you want to email me petex2@xtra.co.nz

My 12 yr old daughter when she was 5 mths old was irriversably damaged by a shot when she was 5 mths old. Today she is autistic, so I am pretty anti vaccines. However, if after weighing up the information and you choose to vaccinate there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. And there are ways to minimise the risk of damage. (Personally I don't think they afford protection against disease, and even drug companies own up to their have failure rates, even if they refuse to own up to the awful damage that is going on in every country thanks to their toxic injections....) But there you go. Personally I can tell you 6 mths is WAY too young to have the onslaught of vaccines on such an immature immune and nervous system. So if you want to do the jabs, I really would wait untill baby is a lot older.

Email me if you like.

All the best with your decision.

Supermama also posted a web site on the MGH fourm [url="http://www.909shots.com"]www.909shots.com[/url] I havent looked at it but looked up the address for you. Just remember that you are the Mother no matter what others might say stick with what you belive. You can change a childs Dr. but not his Mother.
