Dont want to immunise, but.....(Micheal??)

[Pretty Butterfly]

Thanks hon!!
I had decided to not vacs, but after reading that... my god.....I dont wanna give her anything, even delayed vacs....

Up until 2001,(thats when the study ended, not they found cases of Autism..) not one child that didn't get vac, had ever developed Autism...How can they not make this public knowledge???

And the ingredients.... *shudders*....

there are other ways to treat illnesses! we dont have to immunise against everything that makes us sick or potentially worse...
bfing is the best for helping the immune system which you already know..
we are just going with the flow but i know (in my heart) that i couldnt make my self harm dd(yes DS is fully vaxed too up until now)although he wont be having his 4yr old and he didnt have chicken pox or vit k at birth...
we can only do what we know at the time..

[Pretty Butterfly]

Yeah, I wish i'd known all this earlier!!!

I keep digging and digging, (driving DH crazy!), and underdeveloped countries, who rarley vacs, have almost no Autism, asthma and excema?? And they live in squalled, dusty dirty conditions....

Also, just as the rate of these infectious diseases were going down, due to better living conditions, we started to vacs, and they started to go back up!!!! Its just mad.....

We are seriously thinking instead of delayed vacs, we'll just the pertinent ones when needed.... like chicken pox before high school if they dont get it before hand....

Personally, if you are going to partially immunise I would not get the chicken pox one but I would get the whooping cough, tetanus and german measles immunisations (because she is a girl but that can be later). JMO though

Yep. Will get Tetanus when she walks, and german measles at 12-13. I dont think you can get Whooping Cough on its own, I'm looking into that one still!!! My blue book says ita all combined....

I thought chicken pox got dangerous (as in extremly sick) as you get older. Is that not the case? If she doesn't really need it, I dont want her to have it!!!

[Michelle71]

Not as bad as measles. Chicken pox is more dangerous as an infant with a high mortality rate. It is only a recently introduced vaccine. Just make sure whatever you decide is clearly documented for her and she is aware of her status. Especially as she gets older and may want to travel to places where some of the diseases are more prevalent.

Delayed vacc is an interesting question which i asked the dr about. He said the reason they give them so young is because until 8 mths the baby still has antibodies from the placenta present as well as breastmilk in bf babies. After 8 mths is usually when little babies start to get sick, so vaccinations are given from a young age to develop their own personal antibodies before the placental antibodies recede (i can't remember all the technical terms).

I haven't researched this point myself, but I would be interested to hear if this true, or as is often the case, the dr was just trying gto talk us into vax.
