9 shots in one day? Jeesh.
When my daughter had her girls, I told her that if she had to give the girls shots, she should not under any circumstance have them get the shots all at once, but rather space them out over a period of time.
A friend of mine was really in a quandry about getting her daughter vaccinated due to fears of autism ..... she had a long talk with the pediatrician and they came up with a schedule that spread the shots out over two years (might have been 3, can’t remember exactly), rather than giving multiple vaccines to her at the same time. Her daughter (and only child, it turns out), is healthy in all respects.
To me, it’s just common sense not to ‘assault’ a baby’s system with multiple vaccines at the same time .... 9 is ridiculous.
Exactly. Is ANY vaccination/shot/etc. 100% successful? 100% beneficial? NO. IMHO, nobody talks about...WAITING.
Do the shots need to be administered all at once? I think not
Do they need to be administered before the child can talk? Again, I’d think not.
I see NO reason that these shots cannot wait until the recipient can communicate. As it stands, the effects, if any are adverse, are not known until they are past the point of ‘normal development’.
Instead of ‘Hey, Johnny/Susie, why so quiet recently?’, parents don’t find out until way past too late.
The quantity of antigens in those shots is insignificant to the quantity of antigens that a baby normally encounters every single day, as it crawls all over the germ-laden floor and puts its hands and everything it can pick up into its mouth.
Most microorganisms cannot bypass the immune system. Vaccines protect us against a handful of microorganisms that have evolved to evade our immune system and make us sick. Vaccines are designed to show our body only the parts of the microorganism that trigger a durable immune response, without subjecting our body to the stress (with attendant tissue damage and death in some cases) of the actual disease.
