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

Hell yeah, I do too but I wont watch it....

FC, it's hard to know but I wonder since mine are older now......and since they both had such mild cases of mumps/measles - is it true immunity?

Flower child I agree 100% there is much more to immunity then vax! Looking after our diet and getting rid of a lot of the chemical crap in our house I believe has changed my kids immune system from catching everything under the sun to being very healthy and fighting things off well when they do.

Also not many of the vax in Australia use mercy or thimerserol as my dr (supportive of us not vac) told us.

Interesting to note that there are many vet studies coming out at the moment about over immunising animals and the effect it is having on them in regards to autoimmune conditions also???

As for the autism link the thing that sunk it for me after living with someone with autism and then having a child not affected with autism (that we can see yet) is that I felt I had more control over communicatable diseases than autism. and as I explained to a very argumentive dr who saw my daughter recently I could not bear to watch my healthy 2 yr develop symptoms of autism now after witnising her normal development. I could not live with myself. However I felt we had a much better chance at fighting of measles/mumps/rubella with moden medicine, helathy lifestyle and being viligent. If no-one is willing to promise me my daughter WILL NOT develop autism after being vac then it's not going to be a risk I take.

Also I had measles (12), german measles(10) and whooping cough (18mths) after being vaccinated????
