Carl Krawitt has watched his son, Rhett, now 6, fight leukemia for the past 4 1/2 years. For more than three of those years, Rhett has undergone round after round of chemotherapy. Last year he finished chemotherapy, and doctors say he is in remission.
Now, there's a new threat, one that the family should not have to worry about: measles.
Rhett cannot be vaccinated, because his immune system is still rebuilding. It may be months more before his body is healthy enough to get all his immunizations. Until then, he depends on everyone around him for protection — what's known as herd immunity.

This child, unvax plus no immune system, needs to be kept out of schools. He should be reseeding his gut biome with probiotics found in nourishing foods. Gd willing his cancer will not return, I pray.
Any other vaxed kids need to stop worrying about the unvaxed kids and live their lives. You have chosen short term gains, so please live with the vaccine industry promises and keep eating your crappy processed foods.
Unvaccinated children who get the measles but are well nourished will get through with very few complications, and they get the true prize. They will be immune lifelong from the measles and from a very great number of allergies as well as some other diseases. http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2013/01/29/measles-vaccines-part-ii-benefits-of-contracting-measles-by-dr-viera-scheibner-phd/
And the biggest benefit of having had the measles is that the girls will have enough immunity TO PASS ALONG TO THEIR BREASTFEEDING BABIES. Gd in his wisdom. Your vaccinated daughter doesn’t get to do that. Her baby, too young for the vaccines you love to blindly trust, will be unprotected.
Finally someone not sucking on the vaccine govt industry teat. Bless you.
I’m basing my opinion on the fact a person has the right to vaccinate, or not vaccinate, based on their religious views, or assessment of the myriad data that suggests we’re, in fact, poisoning our youth. And you’re right, you have the right to be an idiot.
As do you.
The man’s son has leukemia and could not be vaccinated.
Some people will believe anything as long as they can find it on the internet. What a pantload.
And society has the right to ban the progeny of moronic parents from the public school system.
Vaccines are against religion? God wants your children to die from diphtheria or tetanus, cough a lung out from pertussis, or go deaf from the mumps? Good grief.
Yes, I know. I watched Matt Lauer denounce Dr. Wakefield as a quack. And if you can’t trust Matt, or the CDC, or the makers of vacines that used methylmercury as a preservative, well, who can you trust? Certainly we’ve gained a lot by this.
It would seem if they who have debunked this idea, would by now have found the cause and be undoing the fragile X or chromasonal damage and our child would be on his way to a semi normal life. But the idea that this is a figment of my imagination is as far fetched as the idea that the introduction of at least 8 “dead” diseases into a baby will prevent disease.
And one last thing, when the nurse came into the room with a vial, a needle, and a paper that stated we were being warned that there was speculation that the preservative in the immunization caused autism, I had no idea what autism was, in 1999. And it was one of those moments that you feel so unsure,so aware of at the moment. A pivotal second that decided so much. I haven’t forgotten that moment.
So thank you for your concern. But I can tell you, it would not matter to me if you were a doctor, a pediatrician, or a professor. You don’t know.
Morons would have let their offspring be offered up without a second thought.
It’s knowing that I had a premonition, and didn’t act on it to protect my son that burns my soul , sir.
And not evey child is at risk of this. I don’t think that word “thoroughly” is correctly used in your statement.
That is very interesting, and dangerous. How do you come to know that if you don’t mind? I believe it deserves wider notice.
The article opens by claiming he’d been fighting leukemia since he was 18 months old. More likely that he was fragile before that time, so could well have missed earlier vaccines. The leukemia treatments leave the patient with virtually no immune system, and measles would be fatal.
I believe parents have the right to choose not to vaccinate their children, but the public (through public schools) should also have the right to decline them entry. This is especially the case now that so many unvaccinated kids are going into our schools.
I don’t think I said vaccines are against religion. I was referring to the pparent’s right not to vaccinate based on religious grounds. Perhaps they don’t like what is used in the vaccines, and maybe they don’t believe the govenment or the pharmaceutical companies has my children’s best intentions at heart. Of my six, the three old enough to attend college have all done just fine with no diphtheria, or pertussis. It is amazing to me that some FReepers who would rail against government and big industry telling us to do A or B, toe the government line when it comes to vaccines. Especially when the research doesn’t support many of the claims, as most government funded studies do. Sound familiar? (think man-made global warming) Follow the money.
Again, what religious grounds (and religion for that matter) would deny a child access to something that will prevent them from having to needlessly suffer through diseases that have killed and maimed children since forever? Sounds like stupidity, not a religion. But then, some people argue that Scientology is a religion.
Your right to get/be sick ends where my right to be healthy begins. No person has the right to threaten the safety of his community, which is exactly what you're advocating for. When you don't know anything about science, because of ignorance or because the schools no longer teach it, you'll believe just about anything you find on the internet.
People support vaccines because the evidence that they work, and save untold lives, is indisputable. Your children have made their way through life unaffected by these once common afflictions, in spite of your ignorance, because enough of the population had vaccinations and a herd immunity was created. Unfortunately, more and more people have adopted a similar selfish and Luddite attitude, and that, combined with open borders, are subjecting children to diseases that should have been eradicated from this country a long time ago.
To equate vaccines with AGW in any way is just about as stupid as it gets. The companies making vaccines have stopped making many of them because they are not profitable.Follow the money? When it comes to vaccines, that's just as stupid as linking vaccines to AGW. Vaccine research could provide the answer to cancer in the future. You and the illegal invaders have something in common, you are both spreading disease throughout the country and punishing the youngest, most vulnerable, and most innocent of society. How noble.
As I said, but obviously you’re too interested trying to push you’re “settled science” agenda (sound familiar? - like it or not, it’s exactly the same) perhaps the fact that some vaccines are made with aborted fetus tissue/stem cells turns off those that believe the ends do not justify the means. There still is religious freedom in this country, right? And if you’re hanging your hat on research, there is just as much research (albeit, not funded by government grants or big pharma) that shows that vaccines are poisoning or even killing our children. Perhaps we should let those decisions stay with the parents or are you against parents making decisions and letting big brother do that for us....because after all government knows what’s best? So, when healthcare is completely taken over by the government and they say YOU have to take a medication based on “research” but you believe differently, you’ll just accept it as settled science and follow along?
