Neither of my children have ever received a shot. (By the way, both of my kids are very healthy with no allergies or asthma). (We also choose not to drink cow's milk and switched to rice milk 2 years ago after realizing that my son had a soy allergy). We have lived in Georgia, Kansas, and Washington in the last 7 years and have always been blessed to find doctors that were understanding of our decision not to vaccinate. My son attends public school without any problems. He never misses school as he is probably one of the healthiest kids in his (vaccine riddled) class. He will be asked to stay home if a case of chicken pox or any other 'disease' breaks out in the class. Which doesn't actually make any sense if he wasn't the one that started the outbreak. Go figure! I, too, am well educated (M.S. degree) and work in the health care industry. I always feel the need to point that out because people assume that only an ignorant person would make the choice not to vaccinate out of neglect or laziness. When just the opposite is true. I'd love to have some sort of log of all the hours I've spent reading books and articles. :) I am not outspoken in my beliefs about vaccination and only get to vent to/discuss with people of similar beliefs. I do appreciate those that are advocates as they further the cause for everyone. I've decided that every parent has to research for themselves and be comfortable with their own decisions: whether that is to completely vaccinate, partially vaccinate, or be vaccine-free. I wish you the best in your journey!!

I am doing a similar sort of thing on my own blog and am wanting to increase awareness and encourage my readers to be informed about vaccines. My husband and I are still in the midst of researching and haven't made decisions on all the vaccines yet, but the information is alarming.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973998210740889051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182843849867120717.post-18459698289715097592008-04-14T20:01:00.000-04:002008-04-14T20:01:00.000-04:00Sara,Welcome to the journey down the rabbit hole. ...Sara,<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the journey down the rabbit hole. <BR/><BR/>Seeing all that is out there that runs contrary to the 'vaccines are safe', 'no link to autism' is a slap in the face experience. I am happy for you that you are looking into it from the other side of one too many vaccines.<BR/><BR/>I remember the first time I took my older son in and thought, 'four vaccines, and just doesn't sound right for such a small guy', but i let myself be talked out of my good sense and two years later my little guy took the hit that pushed him into autism.<BR/><BR/>When vaccines are made safe, it will not just be because mom's like me made a stink, it will be because mom's of healthy kids like you educated themselves and demanded that transparency, common sense and 'first to no harm' be the guiding principles of vaccination.<BR/><BR/>Glad to meet ya!Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182843849867120717.post-26095424245801300302008-04-11T16:46:00.000-04:002008-04-11T16:46:00.000-04:00sarajust stumbled upon your blog.i commend you for...sara<BR/>just stumbled upon your blog.<BR/>i commend you for listening to your heart. i didnt do that and <BR/>now i wish i had. i had a blind trust in the medical community (im also a nurse), the cdc, fda, aap and our government to act honestly and safely. it wasnt until i read "deadly immunity" by robert f kennedy jr <BR/>(http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/7395411/deadly_immunity/)<BR/>that i finally realized that i cant trust people like i thought i could. feel free to take a peek at my blog http://mythreesonsfamily.blogspot.com.<BR/>take care and never underestimate your conscious!

I have been concerned and want to wait until I know more. Thank you for taking the time to set up this blog. Have you read Jenny McCarthy's book? She also noticed a change in her soon shortly after his vaccinations. I think too many parents are noting a connection and we need to pay attention!dogoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412979144201541732noreply@blogger.com
