This is my vent. You have been warned.
I believe in vaccines. I believe they have been put on this earth at this time for a reason. I believe they save peoples lives every single day. I DON'T believe that they CAUSE autism. I think it is something to do with your genes. Do they scare me....a little. Do I hate putting my kids through the pain. Yes. Do I do it still because I know the benefits hugely outweighs the risk YES. Do I believe that those of us who vaccinate our children and ourselves form a wall of armor from HORRIBLE diseases around our society. ABSOLUTELY.
Why this venting session?? A friend of my friend (be prepared to cry your eyes out) just lost her darling tiny newborn from pertussis. Whooping cough. A disease that was GONE from our country. GONE! until this STUPID false study about the MMR came out and people stopped vaccinating their children. This tiny precious baby is gone, and a mother is devastated and heartbroken because someone decided to listen to the FALSE study and not to their pediatrician, doctors, hospitals, etc..... listen to your doctors. Not to "experts" like Jenny Mccarthy. I mean Seriously.
Will my kids be that weak link in the armor...absolutely not.

I totally agree with you 100%. That is just so sad for that mommy!!! Umm like I would listen to a celeb. She has no schooling and heck she is kind of a phyco herself. She just wants someone to blame for her sons Autism. They are just special, because that is what our Heavenly Father wanted. We just have to accept it, not blame modern medicine for it. Thanks for venting and sharing this. You are great and so funny!! Love it!! :)
Amen Sister!!!

Thank you for this post. Having a child with neurological complications similar to autism I have read a lot of studies, many journals, many opinions. Most of the studies are flawed - on both sides. And then there is evidence on both as well - some kids brains can't handle vaccines like most and have tragic reactions; and then there are tragedies like the Norton's. It was heartbreaking reading her blog. I am glad to have read it though. It is a story that needs to be shared.
With my second child - I didn't choose to not vaccinate - but to vaccinate on a spread out schedule - limiting how many vaccines are given at once. I was just TODAY thinking that I need to go in for a 6 month vaccine appointment because I do half vaccines on birthday and the other half midyear. (Instead of all on his birthday check-up.) What a great reminder - that even if we don't agree with everything the CDC of FDA says... we need to protect our children in whatever way works best for them. Thanks.
well said lesley! I totally agree.
i wish everyone was like you! i work at the health department and so many people come in to get exemptions from shots. Joe's 3 younger siblings are all autistic, and i worry about everything causing autism, but that is not one of the things i worry about! and it's infuriating when diseases can be IRRADICATED. like they are GONE. but then people don't get their shots and it keeps the stupid diseases alive! RUDE PEOPLE.
