My kids all had the Hepatitis B vaccine because they were babies when the doctors started talking about it. I didn't think about questioning the doctors about it. After I found out about it, I was just shocked that it would be mandated. I was a little naive.
I don't think the Hepatitis B or Gardisol or Chicken Pox should be in the same category as polio, measles or whooping cough.
But these drug companies & CDC working together, plus the authority of the AMA combine to put pressure on our pediatricians, especially, to promote these vaccines.
My children were early teens and the pressure was just 'suggested'.....
..but as in any vaccine, what is first 'suggested' becomes mandatory....it's only a matter of time.
Plus, I had very good pediatricians ....but this is the scenario one of them presented to me to pressure my child in complying with the HepB....
"What if two men were cross country running and one has HepB and he brushes against a thorn on a bush, and the next runner brushes against the same thorn....well, he will get the HepB too"
I'm still shaking my head over that one.
That reminded me one of the new product trials at Merck is for shingles.
Chickenpox can lead to encephalitis and death. It ain't just a cute little rash.
Varicella that causes chickenpox is also suspected to be the cause of a number of neurological diseases that affect people later in life. Diseases that you might rather choose to die to escape living with.
