My son is on an alternative schedule. I've started vaccinating him now that he's 3. He had his first DTP in the Spring and he'll receive boosters every 6 months until he's caught up. Once he's caught up (age 5) I'll consider the MMR but may wait til he's 6. I want him to get all the vaccines available but not until he was past the infant and toddler stages. I want him to be strong enough to handle these cocktails and chemicals. He will be fully vaccinated by the time he graduates high school. I'll do the same with any future children that I'm blessed with.

Reasons are many. My pediatrician could not guarantee that some vaccines do not contribute to some scary common childhood diseases. My husband has a history of childhood siezures. Some of the diseases that the vaccines prevent were unlikely to affect my son as an infant or toddler and therefore weren't worth the risk of side affects. I definitely want him to be well protected as he comes into more and more contact with other people and therefore will fully vaccinate him as he ages. I know many disagree with me and some with severe disdain but that's how I feel.

This is an interesting discussion. I haven't really gotten to the point where I'm thinking about that yet, but I know I'll have to have a plan in place.

Yes very heated discussion I agree.
We postpone the vaccines till my son was 1, he got and few and then had a reaction so we decided to stop. My 16month old hasn't had any yet..


Each person has their opinion on it.. It just gives me anxiety because there is so much unspoken truth about it. No matter how much of those "studies" are done to prove they don't do harm but good.

"Common ingredients include animal byproducts, such as gelatin (a known allergen), serums, guinea pig embryo cells, or residual proteins. This may be worrisome to those who are pro-life, vegetarian, or vegan. Many people are allergic to gelatin, which can be found in the MMR, Varicella, and DTP vaccines. DPT has red blood cells from sheep. Chick embryo and embryonic fluid is common, existing in flu and measles shots. As stated before, human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue are used in vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox. These are foreign to the human body and dangerous to inject directly into the bloodstream. Some people are allergic to specific animal products and may thus have an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

Discovering that formaldehyde, antifreeze, and aborted fetal cells were in many vaccines was enough to convince me not to vaccinate my children any further. Many toxins are in the immunizations we give our children. I keep thinking, why would anyone want to inject any of this into their body? I would never drink antifreeze, not even a small amount of it, so why would I inject some into my baby's bloodstream? Most of the ingredients in vaccines are extremely hazardous and toxic to our bodies, even in small quantities. Many believe that by not inoculating children against illness, one is taking a huge risk. For me, injecting my child with unneeded antibiotics, metals, poison, and live viruses is an even bigger risk."

That about sums up my opinion.



Anyway DO YOUR RESEARCH ON WHAT YOUR INJECTING INTO YOUR CHILD...
GOOD LUCK!

I'll do whatever the doctor advises, but I imagine that will probably be a full round of vaccines.
