I did not allow my fourteen yr. old daughter to have any vaccines. She is very healthy. Of course we kept her immune system strong through good diet and activity.

Until she gets one of those diseases such as polio which will leave her possibly crippled for life.

Me? I keep my vaccines up to date. And I mean all of them. Yellow feaver, DPT, typhoid, etc.

From here:

"Diphtheria is a very serious bacterial disease that can make a person unable to breathe, cause paralysis, or even heart failure. About 10% of the people who get diphtheria die from it. Before the DPT shot was introduced, 17,000 children died in a single year in the United States alone in a diphtheria epidemic. Over the last several years, only a very few cases of diphtheria have been reported in the United States. In 1988 there were zero cases. This is primarily because most children have had shots to protect them. Diphtheria isn't gone, but most children are ready for it if they are exposed."

"For babies and those at high risk, pertussis can be severe or even life threatening. It causes repeated spells of coughing that can make it difficult to eat, drink, or breathe. About 1 out of every 200 children who get pertussis will die of it. Another 1 out of every 200 will have lifetime brain damage. As many as 2% will have seizures, 16% will get pneumonia, and 50% (even in this modern era of reduced hospitalization) will be sick enough to be hospitalized."

"Putting these risks into perspective, even if you assume the worst-case scenario (1 in 140,000), compared to all other preventive and natural health measures, DPT is very safe. DPT is safer than exercise. A healthy person is more likely to be injured, disabled, or killed by complications associated with exercise than by those that may be associated with the DPT (again, assuming the worst-case risk numbers for DPT). A presumably healthy adult who jogs two hours a week for a year is 15 times more likely to die from jogging than a child would be from getting a DPT shot."

"Until she gets one of those diseases such as polio which will leave her possibly crippled for life.'

Unfortuntately, most people who are orthodoxly educated re medical information on such issues have no idea of the ability of the immune system to resist and/or recover from such conditions. Thus measures to avoid such diseases are not utilized. These include fasting, right foods, colon hydrtoherapy, homeopathics, herbs, traditional chinese medicine, etc.
We just function in different health paardigms. I am very secure in mine.

>"Me? I keep my vaccines up to date. And I mean all of them. Yellow feaver, DPT, typhoid, etc."<

Have you had all of the following vaccines? They are all very dangerous diseases. You could get very sick, or even die from any one of them.
Meningococcal Vaccine?
Lyme Disease?
Anthrax?
small pox?
Pneumococcal?
etc, etc, etc.?
So, hey, load yourself up with vaccines, RadioAstronomer. That's your personal choice. Get em all, and you'll be *impervious* to all disease! It matters not to me, as it's your personal choice. Just don't force your *choice* upon me, and my children.

That's what's known in a free society as INFORMED CONSENT.

Me, I'll choose to not get vaccinated...as long as busybodies leave me that right. A properly taken care of immune system can ward off almost all disease, with proper nutrition, good personal hygiene, healthy diet and excercise, all without vaccines.

A healthy lifestyle can avoid the rest.
Wherever there are pandemics they occur with people with either: poor hygiene practices, in close proximity to animals, unhealthy lifestyles, etc.

It's not from a lack of vaccines.

-BTW, I haven't even had so much as a cold in well over a year, so I'll wager I'm just as healthy as you, without all the toxins to compromise my very healthy immune system.
