Threewheels I've posted on the many, many threads in Pregnancy on WC and how I've not had it, and my reasons why. I'd really like to know why I should inject myself with something that has not been proven safe - and no recorded side effects does not equal tested as safe - and has NO GUARANTEE of immunisation. Can you explain to me why I should have it, since it does not mean my baby still won't get it?
Bugger off with your "it's selfish". Y'all are running around buying into the hysteria from the media with very little critical thinking around whether you should actually have it or not, and judging those that looked into it and made a conscious decision. Those babies that died - we have no idea if they were vaccinated or not, no idea what other circumstances contributed to their deaths and no idea what perhaps - if they had been vaccinated - their parents were lulled into a false sense of security thinking their babies couldn't catch it.
It is incredibly difficult to find any balanced information on this and the fact that it was leaked to the press BEFORE midwives and GPs had any information on it makes me very skeptical. I don't just mindlessly follow, sheep-like, and have stuff injected into me without questioning it. I questioned, I couldn't find the information to satisfy my questions, I spoke to the MW who confirmed it doesn't mean immunisation and I questioned the logic of having it.
If you want it, great. Go ahead without judgement on my part. But do not judge me for having a different opinion to you, and acting on the decision based on that opinion. Not to have the WC vaccination is not affecting other people since the damned thing doesn't even ensure immunisation. There was a woman on here who in the same breath as saying people should get it, talked about her daughter having had the injection and still catching WC, for heavens sake.
