This is an old article but I had to say something here. As a mother of two children with ASD’s I do not believe vaccines cause Autism but am not satisfied with the statements that say Vaccines are safe! That is just not true. DO the benefits to society outweigh the risks? Probably, but that all depends on if you believe that these vaccines do not cause any short or long term problems. I am not convinced either way. The primary problem parents have, myself included, is that most physicians are not completely honest about anything these days. SO we educated parents have just stopped trusting what they say. Can you blame us? They talk down to us on most occasions, only take 5 to 10 minutes to half listen to one or two of the things we have said. DO not provide us with adequate tools to make decisions and just flat out refuse to listen to what we say. The thing is parents know so much more about their children than Dr’s do!!
That brings us to where we are today. If physicians want parents to make good choices than be honest, listen better and work with the parents and not against us!
I have not worked as a nurse for over 10 years but I have no problem reading studies for myself and understanding them. A lot of the studies being cited as proof of vaccine safety are funded by pharmaceutical companies or other parties that have a vested interest in mass vaccine production and use. So how can we trust the results 100%?? I think we will see vaccine rates decline more and more until the medical community get’s it!
Also, Parents are tired of being lied to because your God complex and elitism prevent you from being honest and saying “I don’t know” when you really don’t know something.
BTW, both of my children are fully vaccinated, and I regret it all the time.
My oldest had a case of Shingles three months after getting his chicken pox Vaccine and I know it would not have happened if I had not been forced to give him an unneeded vaccine. I had chickenpox at age 15 and was fine and am fully immune to this day.... both my boys will need booster after booster to hopefully not contract it in adulthood! Give me a break on this one.
Now we are forcing young girls to get HPV viruses injected into them in hopes that one day they might not get cervical cancer?? Please how can you force this when it’s an STD not a communicable one?
