My kids were not vaccinated.
I received the polio vaccination when I was a child... and it gave me polio!
After several months, the polio wore off and I could walk again.
Not into forced vaccinations and we may experience the attempt to do so with the swine flu. Thanks but no thanks.
No flu shot in at least 10 years and haven’t gotten sick, while others I know who have gotten shots got sick. Always with the Dr. telling them the shot was to protect x flu virus and they caught y virus.
This isn’t an easy case to decide.
Unvaccinated kids augment the risk of illnesses for all other kids and adults because the pool that can be infected is greater.
Would you want your child to catch rubeola while you are pregnant? You could then be infected by same rubeola which causes blindness and other illnesses in fetuses? Or your child be exposed to polio because some other child parent has decided he knows best than doctors?
I don’t know.
home schooling it will be then
I don’t think they should be mandatory, but if a child doesn’t get his shots he should not be allowed in public a definitely not in public schools, daycare or other activities with children.
It is fine if people want to keep live their lives by non-scientific beliefs but they won’t be putting my children in danger by doing so.
