So, something from the other side. My personal reasons for NOT vaccinating are because I've read the insert to each individual immunisation given, and I don't like what I read (the ingredients, the reactions, the schedule). It's because I've looked into each and every disease/illness you're immunised against to learn that a lot of them are now eradicated or are easily treated if in the right care. Once you dig deeper, you'll learn herd immunity is actually impossible, and that vaccinated or not, you can still get the disease. I've learnt that there is a higher risk of a vaccine reaction than there is catching the illness itself. It's because building a strong immune system in your child using the right vitamins, by breastfeeding and being mindful what you put in YOUR body while pregnant and breastfeeding is more effective. It's because we have good sanitation and a lot of illness's are caused by poor sanitation. It's because they haven't been safety tested in over 30 years. It's because if any of those metals injected in your babies body bypasses the blood brain barrier they could be severely brain damaged, if not worse. I could go on.
Two questions- would you put your child in a car seat that hasn't been safety tested in over 30 years? If not, why are you injecting all kinds of nasties into their bodies?
Also, if you had 1000 cupcakes, and 1 contained a reaction such as seizures or even 'SIDS', would you let them eat a cupcake? I'd assume not.
I also have relayed all of my findings to our healthcare provider, and have spoken to several professionals who agree with what we have found, and have made no effort to dispute the information, that also says a lot to me.
Look at the inserts, speak to people who have been suffered reactions first hand, and truly weigh up your options.
Hope that helps a little with the other side.
I will not be responding to any disputes, I'm just giving the person asking my side, just like everyone else.
