Vaccines are responsible for eliminating horrible diseases from our country and many others. And if not eliminating them at least reducing their numbers and severity. Think of polio and whooping cough and rubella and mumps and measels and tetnus.<br /><br />Now they want to vaccinate against every single minor ailment that might someday affect a child. Think chicken pox, flu, rota-virus, Hep B and maybe one day the common cold. The studies done bfore releasing these vaccines are scant and there is virtually nothing done to study what the interaction of the multiple shots given at the same time might be.<br /><br />And other factors need to be taken into account as well. With my son, because he was already presenting with pretty significant food allergies @ 4 months and I was in th process of eliminating several foods from diet to minimze his exposure to the suspectd foods, we should have only given one shot that fateful day, instead of 4 which was reduced from 6 b/c I had already stated we didn't want the rotavirus or the Hep B. His propensity for an allergic reaction was higher and we should have realized that.<br />I don't know the specifics of what happened with Walker and really he sounds like the true 1 in a million that could not tolerate the vaccines. I don't know how you could have done any differently with him. And that is just so tragic.<br />I still don't believe all vaccines are bad. But I do believe that there needs to be a whole different approach to them and that many of them should be eliminated or delayed. Just this week the rotavirus was recalled AGAIN because it was found, by an independant group to have byproducts from animals that are known to be cancer causing....awful.<br />Parents need better information and more choices. Absolutely.<br /><br />I think about you every day and hope that this little one makes it here safely and is snuggled in your arms in no time.<br />xxook@laklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366772609212990882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083456904253845624.post-3457554305870663122010-04-21T17:21:04.242-04:002010-04-21T17:21:04.242-04:00Very interesting stuff.

I specifically talked to my Ped about it because it just doesn't seem like it could be a coincidence. Thanks for sharing.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404826828632906792noreply@blogger.com
