Hi, i would like to know your opinions about vaccine please. I decide to dont let my 3 years old daughter have the vaccine and i was wondering if there are other mums that think the same as me

So you start a thread asking for our opinions. We give them to you in a well argued, rational way with scientific evidence for you to read and you choose to ignore it all and tell us we're wrong and you're right, but that you can't be bothered to post any evidence for your beliefs. Hmm

the point was to know your opinions... i don't have to agree with you and you dont have to agree with me

123, I think you are deliberately missing the point. If your decision only affected you and your children, that would be the end of it, but it doesn't. People like Trazzle's son who can't have the vaccination and my daughter (and any other child under 1) who isn't old enough for it yet, rely on everyone else being immunised so they don't catch it.

You are not medically qualified and you are ignoring the advice of people who are, in favour of rumours and hearsay. How can you possibly expect anybody to respect your opinion? It is not based in fact but ignorance.

I think you got your answer. There are not that many on MN who think the same as you.
There are tonnes of other places to go to online to find people who think like you. Why waste any more time here on this topic?

Jesus, you are ill informed and having read your posts I now need to go away and get my blood pressure to go down.

You may think you're doing something good for your own child, which is highly debatable, but to he'll with the consequences to others. Nice!

"i don't need to talk to my GP (anymore)"

Nothing you have written on here has convinced me, or anyone else for that matter, that you have even asked your GP for advice regarding vaccinations.

You asked for people's opinions and don't like what you hear. Maybe I am different from you but if I thought I was right and everyone else told me I was wrong I would at least look at the facts and check to see if maybe I was wrong. You are simply digging your feet in and the more everyone suggest you need to think again the more obstinate you become.

i never said that i don't like what i hear, infact i repetely sayd that i respect your opinions even if i don't agree with it. for your information i spoke with doctors about the vaxs, and also looked at the facts and still talking to different people about it .

OP posts:
Bunbaker · 03/03/2013 15:06

And what did your GP advise?

123mon · 03/03/2013 15:32

the GP at the surgery told me the side effects of the vaxs and that it was up 2 me, other docs had been more honest about it and agree with my decisions (also they didnt vaxs they kids too), so at the end of the day some people says one think other people says other thinks and we choose who to trust more

123mon, I'm curious, have you done much research on the diseases the vaccines are meant to prevent?

aufaniae · 03/03/2013 15:41

Do you know what the mortality rate / risk of infection / possible complications and long term effects of catching the diseases are for example?

Tallgiraffe · 03/03/2013 15:46

The possible side effects! If you look on a packet of paracetamol there are a list of possible side effects too. here are the list from the NHS. More rare than complications from catching the disease.

These doctors that were telling you that they agreed. Were they in the UK? If so, I'm sure the GMC would be very intersted to hear about them...

Tallgiraffe · 03/03/2013 15:47

And you said you looked at the facts. What facts?

Original poster
123mon · 03/03/2013 15:48

yes i looked at the all aspects of the diseases the side effects of the vaxs and the diseases and i decided that i dont want to vax my child

OP posts:
Tallgiraffe · 03/03/2013 15:56

Worst case scenario from catching the diseases = death.
What possible vaccination side effect is worse than that?

123mon · 03/03/2013 15:58

some of the docs are in the uk and some others not, and i was talking the facts about the vaxs,

OP posts:
Tallgiraffe · 03/03/2013 16:01

That's my point - what facts? Please tell us so we can understand your point of view.

Bunbaker · 03/03/2013 16:15

Can I suggest that you talk to your NHS GP in the UK. I would be very surprised if you were given the advice not to vaccinate (assuming that there aren't any good medical reasons not to).

breatheslowly · 03/03/2013 16:21

People on this thread have taken the time to answer your question thoroughly, I.e. to give their opinion and explain the evidence they have used to form their opinion. It would be a curtesy to do the same in return, and not a vague 'I have spoken to people and looked at facts' explanation.

Bunbaker · 03/03/2013 16:30

Don't all the responses on here give you even the smallest vestiges of doubt?

123mon · 03/03/2013 16:39

i did talk to my GP in the uk, and as i sayd before i dont need to give you evidence especially because you did your recerches and made your mind up about the all situation, and i did the same i dont need to be convince you might be right or not but i made my decision

OP posts:
Bunbaker · 03/03/2013 16:40

OK, so why did you bother posting on here if you are convinced everyone else is wrong?
