I'm pretty sure as charged as this debate is, it's not a job I'd want LOL!<BR/><BR/>Pam, I'm sure a totally pro-vax person would say it's all herd immunity, but I do wonder if we really need vaccines for chicken pox fer crying out loud. (And how much money are they making on something almost no one dies from??)<BR/><BR/>Daja, my child with the biggest speech delays/ most signs of autism was NOT vaccinated. But I look at the ingredients of some of those shots and go iwww. Remember your "flu" video? It was funny but true.<BR/><BR/>DMV47, I found the measles to be not bothersome at all. No worse than a cold, though I looked awful.<BR/><BR/>Bishop's wife, I don't think a lack of vaccines should necessarily tip someone off to abuse, though I guess if you really dislike your kid you're not going to bother even if you think they're ok. I'd be more likely to suggest kids are abused if they watch some of the stuff on daytime tv or know rock lyrics. My goodness. :]<BR/><BR/>Luke, that's the thing. The ONLY WAY you'll know they're effective for you is if you're majorly exposed to the disease you're trying to prevent. Sharing a room with five active polio cases for a week would be a good test.<BR/><BR/>Say the vaccines are then shown to be 90 percent effective. Well, you'd have a lot fewer people ill and carrying the bug around but then HELLO, that means ten percent are unprotected and they've taken a risk getting the vaccine with zero (or little) benefit.<BR/><BR/>But so far as I know, no one tests them that way. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-58884465225228135032009-01-27T10:26:00.000-06:002009-01-27T10:26:00.000-06:00I have a problem with the Vax info too: I want som...I have a problem with the Vax info too: I want some data I can trust. I had heard that vaccines aren't all that effective, and it's interesting to hear from people for whom that is true.

I do feel docturs should see to it that parents get good advice on this and that they, themselves (the DR.) knows about what they are giving the child. I think they should be spread out more and not given all at once.<BR/><BR/>I know there is a HIB shortage, I just did not know why.

My other non-vaccinated children have never even showed signs of the same thing.<BR/><BR/>So, that's my controlled clinical trial!

Perhaps with, um, all your free time, you could go out and provide the public with some balanced reporting? :)<BR/><BR/>Vaccines are obviously an interesting area. I occasionally encounter some purported vaccine-related issues in my professional life. The research is all over the place, and its complicated by the fact that some of the research is done by groups with clear pro- or anti- agendas. <BR/><BR/>AllisonA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00293780005404059775noreply@blogger.com
