I know this is a hot button topic right now but I'm curious as to what you ladies will be doing? For or against? And why?
I personally will be vaccinating my child at the appropriate age. So I guess I'm for it. I'm for it because to me, its protecting them from harm.
Please respect each other's opinions and thoughts.

If we revert back to a time of no vaccines, dangerous communicable diseases will spread further; we'll face epidemics of preventable diseases that will harm and kill children.
Andrew Wakefield is a fraud and a total disgrace to entire medical community. Because of him and Jenny McCarthy, people have been grossly misinformed.

Deadly diseases that can be prevented by vaccines is something I take very seriously. Just ask anyone who's lived through the heightened epidemics of measles, whooping cough, small pox, and polio. Unless vaccines are embraced, we're well on our way to another deadly epidemic.

Haha well with a lot of the extreme nasty ladies gone it may not be that bad.. But we will see. People do tend to get a bit over worked when it comes to this topic and I understand why since it involves our children's health. I just wish people would realize everyone is doing what they think is best and that's really the bottom line. Life is full of risks and chances and illness no need to place the blame. So very sorry about your son btw.
the immune compromised after vaccinating. Or say infecting your infant with one of these disease by your toddler recently being vaccinated and shedding these viruses. I think a lot of people are unaware of this when they are making claims about keeping other children safe by vaccinating their own.
I think that if I do vaccinate I will space them out and not do so many all at one time.
Granted I know people die and can have some serious after effects from measles which is why I won't risk DD's health but it really caught me by surprise.
If school requires it, I will have him get it, but until then I'll see if he catches it before hand.

Second, we do not receive vaccines for diarrhea. Diptheria however is a disease we vaccinate for which is disease that can inhibit breathing and cause damage to the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
The vaccine I am referring to is rotavirus which is the most common cause of diarrhea, so yes we are vaccinating our children against that.
Haha yikes! I take my daughter to the doctor for every check up just no shots. Some people don't take their kids at all though so I guess I see where she is coming from. There are so many pediatricians so it seems silly to me to get a lawyer involved in that but I do see why she's pissed.
