Vaccines...?

BabeDebolt · April 2013

I am in search of data, numbers, percentages, etc on vaccinations. 03month forum gave me some websites to explore for data on why babies should be vaccinated. Any websites from you women here in the natural birth forum that suggest the opposite? I have studied holistic health in the past but never on the topic of babies and vaccinations. Would appreciate some websites, videos, articles you found helpful in your decision. I am still doing my search. Thanks in advance!!

I am a big vaccine supporter. Vaccines save lives and were developed for a reason. To my knowledge all the data/claims of vaccines linked to autism etc are false. The websites with anti-vax information are largely unreliable, perso

Please be sure to look at the very real consequences of your baby contracting any of the diseases that vaccines prevent. Babies die every year of pertussis. Tetanus is a particularly horrific way to die.

You will have a hard time finding reputable sources arguing against vaccination because there aren't any. Vaccinations save lives both by preventing the disease if one comes into contact with it and by making herd immunity possible so the disease is

I cared for a baby with pertussis when I worked in a pediatric ICU. Her lungs turned to the consistency of wood, and she needed a special breathing machine to give her 300 small breaths per minute, as well as 2 big IVs in her neck to take the blood out of

There's a really great video on netflix called the vaccine war (I'm not sure I watched it on Canadian netflix or American) But it's worth watching.

It's done by National Geographic and all the points made for both sides of the debate very fairly

Check out Dr. Sears Vaccination Book. He is provax, but breaks each disease and corresponding vax down by risks of contracting disease/risk of adverse vax effects, ingredients in vaxes, and explains at what age it is important to get each vaccination. Not

Here's a great rebuttal that explains why Miller's book is, in fact, just his out there opinion. He still says that vaccines cause autism, ffs.

Thanks for all your suggestions and advice. I'm glad this didn't turn into a debate of any kind. Nice to know we can all differ and not create a stink. Much appreciated!

Just one more thought on this that people have alluded to, but not really highlighted. Vaccines aren't just for YOUR kid. They're also one of the only effective ways we have to keep kids who can't get a vaccination because they're too young, immunocomprom

There isn't really big money to be made on vaccines.The pharmaceutical companies would make way more money off the drugs to treat these diseases than they do from keeping people well. Big money areas are chronic disease treatment, not preventative care
