Why did you not vaccinated you're baby/child

[Clocloxx]

Just that really, parents who choose not to vaccinated their children what made you decide? How are you're kids now do they get sick often ? Any allergies?
I don't want this turning into a debate of why you should vaccinated you're child I'm simply asking parents why they choose not too? So if you can't respect people's decisions not to vaccinated please don't answer on this thread

No, I wouldn't. I wasn't putting my child at direct risk of that.

The risk of intussusception from rotavirus vaccine is estimated to be between 1 in 50,000 and 1 in 100,000 (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/rotavirus/about-intussusception.html). Your baby is much more likely to die from severe diarrhoea than vaccine induced bowel injury.

Funnily enough, my child is the only child I've ever known to have never had a sickness and diarrhea bug. Ever.

Your comment was deleted because you told someone to eff off 🙄

Because her comment was absolutely sickening

People vaccinated their kids because they remembered or their parents remembered the horrors of kids dying from the likes of polio, smallpox, hepatitis, measles, diphtheria etc etc. Horrid illnesses and people were grateful when the vaccine for them came out and there was a time where these conditions had nearly vanished. Those that couldn't be vaccinated due to actual medical reasons were protected by herd immunity.
Now there's all this BS about conspiracies/fake news that others state as 'research'. Unfortunately, it won't be long before the diseases increase to epidemic levels and kids start dying again. Not that it seems far off that sometimes.

No child should have to suffer or die from any of those diseases that we have vaccinations for. It's cruel and I can't believe any parent would go against decades of evidence of kids being saved just because of some of the rubbish they 'research'.

I always lol when I hear the phrase "I did my own research and made the informed decision not to vaccinate". What makes anyone think that their "research" trumps the years and years of knowledge and expertise accumulated by hundreds of medical professionals and biomedical scientists?

Funny that, me neither. My DH catches everything and I am never sick. Guess which one of us was vaccinated.

It’s always the people who state ‘I did my own research’ that clearly have no idea about the difference between causation vs correlation or survivor bias.

🤣🤣

But you already did put your child at ‘direct risk’ (in your own book) when you got your child on track with the rest of the vaccine schedule. The vaccines you did accept also have risks.

Not to mention the real ‘direct risk’ that you put your child under but not getting that vaccine.

I didn’t report your comment for telling me to ‘F&@* off’ btw. I was happy to allow it to sit there to expose the level at which you operate.

Also, that's the website for the US. And as I've said, the vaccine was pulled twice, 7 years ago. It wouldn't have been pulled if the risk wasn't substantial.

I have no idea where things stand with the current vaccine as I've had no need to research that in the past 7 years.

No, I think you're misunderstanding the meaning of direct risk. Injecting something directly into a newborn baby that has confirmed risk is very different from risking the chance that they could catch a virus from somebody else.

I have no need to respond to your attempts at insulting my intelligence, either. That actually shows more the level at which you operate, thank you.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
I retract my earlier comment where I said you had two braincells.

With a law degree, I would beg to differ. I am able to research and think for myself based on the information presented to me. Or are you also arguing with confirmed NHS information? Please move along.

People that don’t vaccinate are extremely uneducated. Unless there’s a medical reason obviously. Absolute idiots.

The few posts you’ve placed here highlight your inability to reason or to apply logic effectively. Your claim of a law degree doesn’t offset that.

Lawyers also usually try to construct an argument to back up their position, rather than telling the opposition to ‘F£&$ Off’. Did they teach you that as part of your degree?

With a law degree, I would beg to differ.

With a science degree, can we play Top Trumps?

No, you're highlighting your inability to apply logic effectively based on what I've said. As I said in a previous comment, the vaccine would not have been pulled twice If the risk wasn't substantial. If you really can't see that, I'm not wasting my time on you.

Also, I don't need to construct an argument. I'm not looking for an argument. The information stands as it is.

Aren’t vaccines usually pulled very quickly if any doubt, then once deemed safe reinstated as quickly? That would seem the logical explanation.

Failure to vaccinate deserves the same respect as failure to strap a small child into a car seat: none at all, because it is child endangerment.

None of my children had any vaccines . They are all grown up now and were not sickly as children .
It was the choice I made at the time . And for the record - I am very well educated (postgraduate) so it wasn’t because I’m too thick to make an informed decision !

I feel like I’m arguing with a 10 year old. I don’t think others view you the way that you see yourself. Take a breath and try to understand what I’m saying here.

Hope you learn to apply more effective risk/benefit analysis and therefore make safer decisions for your child in the future.

I know the feeling.

I’m a nurse. I didn’t allow the flu vaccines for my girls. They’ve never been ill with it and haven’t passed it on. I don’t agree with it.
They didn’t have the Covid vaccine either. They did have MMR however
and before I’m criticised I do prescribe drugs and I do research drug trials which I undertook before making my decision on all the above!

@chipsaway - that’s interesting about the flu vaccinations, I know they aren’t particularly effective, is that why you didn’t get your children done?
