All rotavirus vaccines contaminated worldwide - FDA suspends its use

[Fleur]

And I wasn't saying it was wrong for people to vaccinate i'm just saying that if it wasn't for people like Kelly we would only here one side of the story.

:yeahthat:

I really value that I can come to BB for these viewpoints & this information.

DD is vaccinated & we will continue on with the schedule (mostly - I don't think we will get the CP vax) BUT I do wish I had had a little more info before we started.
I - once upon a time - put my faith in the medical system & didn't question. I wish this stuff had been more out there as I said before.

Still tossing up on the swine flu vax for DS2, he suffers asthma - but whatever way we go, I want to hear how & why other people have reached their decisions.

Things get contaminated all the time, people make mistakes... a can of bakes beans in your cupboard could be contaminated right now.

Yes its scarey for a vaxer, but i'd be just as scared if my medication was contaminated. But it wouldn't make me suddenly decide it wasn't worth the risk to take my medication anymore!

People who decide to vax don't take the decision lightly and i know i genuinely believe the benefits outweigh the risks.

Yes its great to educate and warn people of the dangers of vaxing, but i hope non-vaxers are just breathing a sigh of relief rather than trying to re-inforce that their decision not to vax was the right one....... because its a personal choice to vax, there is no right or wrong.

You are so right my love it is very mucvh an emotive and personal issue. I think a large number of parents make very loving and thought out choices for their children. As you rightly say it's a personal decision for each child.

However, for me it is one of the many things that have reinforced that for me the decision was the correct one. As for meds that were contaminated. For me it would stop me taking my medications & that again would be an outrage.

As health care consumers we have to demand the best possible. Yes, errors occur but for the level of contamination that is evident here to occur this shows to me severe misconduct.

You guys really have to be joking, lovingly made your decision? Yes to make the Drug companies richer on the back of your children's health and long term well being and at worst, DEATH.
You sound like some sort of commercial for ultra soft toilet tissues, this is your children's lives, not yours, theirs.

This is certainly not the first time vacc's have been contaminated. It's another reason I stopped vaccing DD17 when she was little and searched a little deeper. It's just not good enough.
