Are your Child Vaccinated or Unvaccinated? What is the health condition of your child?

Are your Child Vaccinated or Unvaccinated? What is the health condition of your child? Please tell about the physical health, diseases, eating and sleeping condition of your child/children.|||I answered this same question in the Parenting forum. (Short version, my kids are not vaccinated at all, and are very healthy).





"S.S." are you serious that you think vaccines are "TOTALLY safe?" The vaccine package inserts list many of the possible adverse reactions. http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccine鈥?/a>





The U.S. has set up VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) to keep track of vaccine reactions. http://vaers.hhs.gov/resources/VAERS_Bro鈥?/a>





You can search the VAERS database here: http://www.medalerts.org





Also, there is the federal National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) that compensates people whose injuries have been proven to be caused by vaccines. "By 2009, nearly $2 billion had been awarded to vaccine victims even though two out of three plaintiffs are denied compensation." http://www.nvic.org/injury-compensation.鈥?/a>





So, "S.S," if vaccines were "TOTALLY safe," why would the manufacturers list possible adverse reactions, why would there be a injury database, and why would there be a program that gives people money for vaccine injuries?





riyad, I'm so sorry to hear about your child's injury from the measles vaccine.





Edited to add: "S.S." that is very untrue that manufacturing errors are the only way vaccines can be dangerous. However, you have now admitted that you know vaccines are not "TOTALLY safe."|||Unvaccinated, and will never vaccinate my children. I have always been healthy, and have rarely gotten the flu. .I had the swine flu before the vaccine came out, but I still wouldnt recommend it to anyone that i loved or cared about. good luck in making your so very important choice!!!|||I don't have my own child but I am a registered nurse and I work in pediatrics. The bottom line is, vaccines are TOTALLY safe and ABSOLUTELY necessary. When I talk about facts, I am talking about study after study from all around the world that all say that vaccines are safe, and have proven to be or they wouldn't be given! The most dangerous things about vaccines is that they make people forget how bad those diseases really are because we don't see them anymore. There was a time where mothers used to dread summer because that is when polio outbreaks would occur, millions of children sick every month paralyzed limbs, or on respirators. In the 40's or so it would be very common to grow up with someone you knew who wore leg braces or who had another disability, from polio! Now, are there any of these anti-vaccinators that could even tell you what polio is? Or what it does? No. And thats not all, do you know what tetanus does to you? We have all heard about lockjaw, but what about diptheria. whooping cough? We don't need to know because these diseases are unheard of! We take them for granted! People say well what about the MMR, who cares about that? Well mumps if causing a lot of fertility problems in men later in life because of the swelling of the epididymis that can be caused with a mumps infection; rubella can cause deafness in babies if the mother is exposed to it while pregnant. Shall I go on? I could go on forever, but I won't.





I have given thousands of vaccines in my life, and have never seen anything but positive outcomes. It is such a small amount too. Such a little bit is needed to build up antibodies. And I have had all my shots (including this years flu and H1N1) and am happy I did. Don't listen to all these anti-vax people trying to scare you about reactions and autism, its all complete non sense. We live to be so much older and are so much healthier because we don't get the horrible diseases, and die as infants as we did in the past all because of vaccines. Get your child vaccinated, I promise you won't regret it.








and by the way, for the people who say thier child is healthy and haven't had vaccines. That is because 100% of the people around them are all immunized, so there is no way for the diseases to spread to them. But, its is the unvaccinated people that keep the diseases alive. Ask India, they are dealing with massive polio outbreaks in the poorer, rural areas.





riyad......Fevers are not dangerous, and they are not bad! That is what activates our immune system to produce antibodies. That is not a reaction, it is normal.





And Lisa, I am well aware of the programs for set up by the federal government for injuries from vaccines. As I have said, I am a pediatric nurse so I have delt with it but you don't understand it. These programs are set up in case the maker of the vaccines accidently includes dangerous amounts of chemicals, or if there isn't enough preservative in them and they grow bacteria. THESE are cases where it was an injury directly caused by the vaccine. That is why the approval rate is far lower than 1 in 3, its closer to 1 in 15 which is about right because a lot of people think that certain things are reactions to immunizations are they AREN'T. Not to mention, this program was set up because vaccine programs and requirements are set up by the federal government so naturally they will have a fund set up in case something does go wrong since they are the one requiring most vaccines.


Here is another bottom line. vaccines should be left to medical professionals, not lay people who don't have the first clue about then except what they are told by a bunch of nut jobs and thier own opinion.
