My nephew was severely brain damaged by his DPT shot, my son had a severe reaction as a child, and my daughter has eczema.

I will NOT vaccinate my children, and I am not an ignorant parent.

I think you should be forced to view before and after pictures of my vaccine damaged nephew.

By not vaccinating your children you are parasitizing off the the herd immunity provided by the vaccinated children of responsible parents.

Should you choose not to homeschool your kids, you ought to put their health and your theories to the test, and have your children attend schools that only admit unvaccinated children. Let that little petri dish fester for a few years, and then come back to me with the before and after pics.

Truly sorry about your nephew. The sad fact is that a very very small number of people DO have adverse and even deadly reactions to vaccines.

While no consolation to you or your nephew, the effects of NOT getting vaccinated are much greater to society as a whole.

You are risking the compounding of the tragedy of your nephew by not vaccinating your kids against preventable diseases with deadly consequences.

It's your choice to make, of course, but I'd hate to see other people's bad judgement validated by your tragic story.
