You said aluminium is a neurotoxin but don't seem to understand the only way that you get a big enough dose to cause problems is through chronic exposure.This is either through a long term drip or in some one who has kidney failure or through industrial exposure at work.
The tiny amount in a vaccine will not do any harm. Also the body deals with it very quickly and the majority excreted from the body within a day or so.

Yes, it is "nice" to respect other people's decisions.

However, my decision to vaccinate my DD has NO adverse effect on your family life. In fact, if you don't vaccinate, I'm helping to protect your child.

Your decision not to vaccinate your child leaves my DS more vulnerable to these diseases because he can't be vaccinated due to having no immune system and all that...

So excuse me if I don't "respect" your decision for which you have not given ANY reason beyond that vaccines have ingredients and you've spoken to some people.

If you refuse to read information that people are giving you, and you refuse to point us towards the basis of your research, how can we come to any other conclusion than that your decision is ill thought out and based on ignorance.

You have still not said what side effects you are anxious about.

As I asked earlier, where are your figures for the number of children who HAVE been vaccinated who still catch the disease?

Ditto Trazzletoes. And also where is the evidence that my daughter is more likely to catch a disease from a child that has been vaccinated than one who hasn't?

Of the 196 us citizens that cought measles in the 2011 outbreak 166 were completely unvaccinated
So why do you think you are more likely to get measles from someone who is vaccinated.

More figure

"In the year ending April 30, 2012, a total of 17, 448 measles cases were repoted in the European Union and Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, according to the European Surveillance System, a service of the ECDC. Vaccination status was known for 84 percent of the cases, of which 82 percent had never received the vaccine, 13 percent had received one dose, and 4 percent had received two or more doses. According to the report, the proportion of unvaccinated individuals was significant in all age groups, including 89 percent in those younger than age one, and around 50 percent in 25- to 29-year-olds."

Its not perfect but to pretend that is a bad thing is ridiculous. Those that get disease after vaccination do tend to get it mildly and less likely to pass it on.
The vaccines have done a very efficient job of reducing the risk.

123mon do you think you could possibly find the courtesy to answer the questions you are being asked
You claim to want to have a reasonable conversation yet ignore various posters who ask which side effects you are concerned about.
What thinks (sic) are we not told about? I, for one, would love to hear your conspiracy theories...

Ok, just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. If you follow this argument then no-one should use condoms because there is a tiny chance that you'll get pregnant while on them. The fact that if you don't use them your chances are much much higher you would be happy to ignore.

On a different note, your child has already had the MMR vaccination. So therefore can't have reacted to the ingredients or you'd have said so. So what can be the harm in giving the next one?

Only reason for even to bother answering op is hopefully others that may have been sucked in by the numerous quack websites out there, may realise that most of the scaremmongering on there is nonsense.

Your own words.

You are completely contradicting yourself.

You have just said here that those who haven't been vaccinated are more likely to contract the disease!

None of us are saying that vaccinations are 100% perfect but I am stunned by your reasoning.

If I understand correctly, you are choosing not to vaccinate your child because if she IS vaccinated there's a small risk she may catch the disease, compared to a huge risk of catching it if you don't vaccinate?

(I can't comment on other reasons because you are still ignoring every single one of the questions I have asked on this thread)

Good to know everyone else can see me though

Op has two children one who is a lot older so presumably she didn't have any reactions either.

So there is nothing and you're just making it up on the spot to try and justify your ill thought out decision.

Well, that's, er, responsible of you.

#borednow. Why won't you answer the questions?!?
Thanks to
Others for the sensible info btw. I'm 18+4 with DC1 and fairly convinced we would vaccinate. This has helped solidify that decision - 123 feel free to say thanks, I'll also be helping to keep your DCs safe!
