I hear you Farmwife :ghug: and I too have seen both sides of the story, although perhaps more of one than the other...
I better reply back to this so y'all don't think Dusty is insane.:rof:
I erased my comment because of the potential debate that surrounds this issue.
(I didn't think anyone saw it.:kiss
My nephew has autism. His mom said after his dx, He was never the same after his vaccines. She still gets all the kids vaccinated.
My Grandma walks with a limp from her childhood Polo, that killed the girl that sat in her school seat the week before. This was before the vaccine was available.
I do not get my kids vaccinated. They've never had one shot their whole life...so far. So thinking vaccines
alone cause these evil disease is not true. I believe it's one of many reasons.
Grace had c diff...never the same again.
So how Mary feels about MMR, I feel about c diff.
Our choice is based for medical reasons and that alone.
I do not get into the "background" at all.
They will get some vaccines but not all between the ages of 5-6.
Again the is for medical reasons.
All our doctors know this and yes some debate.
I had one tell me that I'm one of the few that know medical reasons for my convictions and not just go on conspiracy theories (which doesn't mean those theories are not well founded).
What gets me going is when people saw I'm endangering my kids.
I love my kids just as much if not more then most (we should all feel this way).
I will do what' I think is best for mine, like you want to do for yours.
Again I'm not against vaccines.
