Vaccines. It´s something I didn´t think much of when they were injecting my tiny 7 lb 8 oz newborn baby with them. I hadn´t researched anything about it. Why should I? Shouldn´t I trust the doctors and the FDA to protect my baby? After 9 months of vaccinations, we started to think differently.
Stephen started researching what was in vaccines and side effects they were having on people. He found some pretty insane information on what is really in them. Mercury, aka Thermiserol , is used as a preservative in vaccines. MERCURY! In 6th grade Biology I learned that mercury can burn a hole straight through your hand! The damage that mercury can do to brain cells is crazy!
We have both whole-heartedly agreed on no more vaccines! The research that we´ve both done has made us sick that we allowed 9 months worth of crap to be put into our baby´s body. We pray that there aren´t any side effects from them, so far he appears to be fine.
I was a little weary to not vax, but the risk of him dying or something bad happening to Sam as opposed to him getting a disease were to high. For everyone that has children or is in the process of having children, please, please, please research anything before you put it in your kids body.
Doesn´t that sound like a responsible, loving thing to do? You wouldn´t give your kid medicine without reading the label first, would you? The same goes for vaccines!
In 1976, 796,000 children were learning disabled.
Today 1 child in 6 is learning disabled.
In 1979, there were 2 million asthmatic children.
Today 1 child in 9 has asthma.
In 1970, 1 child in 2,500 developed autism.
Today 1 child in 150 develops autism.
In 1970, 1 child in 1,750 was diabetic.
Today 1 child in 450 becomes diabetic.

Hey Amy!!! Didn't know you had a blog...cool! I would get one but I don't have time to do it AND keep up with everyone else's blogs!
Eric and I are on the CAUTION-SIDE regarding vaccinations. Having a child on the autism spectrum ourselves, we also did much research to see what may have been the cause and found the vaccine/mercury perservative link as well. Personally, I know too many parents who didn't see the autism-like symptoms until they began to vaccinate their kids. In our case, I believe that Farrell has a genetic disposition toward his autism spectrum that was further aggrevated by vaccinations.
I say if you really want to continue vaccinating, you don't have to follow the CDC's reccomended vaccination schedule. You can request that vaccinations be spread out over a longer period of time and even given seperately (instead of numerous vaccinations at one time that is currently reccomended). I have even heard of parents requesting that the MMR be broken up and given seperately (like they do in China who happens to have a much lower rate of autism than the U.S.) rather than all at once but don't know if that request was granted or not.
I know that in the 1990's the amount of mercury perservative (Thimerosal) was increased to extend the shelf life of vaccines used to immunize children. Subsequently, the increase in austim spectrum disorders began with that generation of children who received the Thimerosal increased vaccinations.
Anyway, when in doubt, I say go without but that's just me.
Thanks Vicky!
