There are definitely children who have been injured by vaccines (guillian-barre syndrome comes to mind) and those who are sensitive to components of vaccines, such as those allergic to eggs. Anyone injured has my sympathy.
However, the risk/benefit ratio is on the side of vaccination. Many unvaccinated people benefit from “herd immunity” which means that as long as a high percentage of children are vaccinated, the unvaccinated aren’t likely to come in contact with the disease. Scares have caused vaccination rates to drop. When it drops below the threshold - around 80 to 90% for most diseases - you have outbreaks. And kids dying or affected for life.
Someone may not mind if their child gets chicken pox, but how about the pregnant woman they encounter? Chicken pox is very contagious; it’s airborn and can be transmitted merely by sitting in a waiting room with someone infected who sneezes. It causes severe fetal problems - deformities, mental retardation, blindness, etc.
When there is a family sensitivity, the risk/benefit ratio is NOT on the side of vaccination.
My nephew was severely damaged, and after I began my son’s vaccinations, his leg swelled up so much he couldn’t walk, and he screamed a high-pitched scream for hours. There was NO WAY I was going to give him another vaccine. Period.
And out of four children, three totally unvaccinated, and him being partially vaccinated, he’s the only one with problems. He’s bipolar and ADD and has some kind of writing disability. Thank God he also tests above genius level, so he is able to compensate and succeed.
Some people are fortunate that they don’t have to agonize about whether they damaged their child or not.
