I've heard so many bad things on both sides and have no idea what to do. What are your opinions? What experience have you guys had with this?
Thanks

That study was found to totally false. I wold never let my kids NOT be vaccinated. Polio was almost totally eradicated as was measles. Guess what, now it's making a comeback. I know where this thread is headed but I really hope people get their kids vaccinated.Originally posted by BetterRed:
lol......this is another topic I've had discussions with as well with others. I know some people who think vaccinations are not only overrated by not the best of things to do cause you're putting chemicals in your body. I've had discussions with people who don't believe in flu shots, for instance. They don't believe in them, either. They're the same people who feel vaccinations are the result of such things as creating autism and other bad side affects in people.
Personally, I think vaccinations are necessary. I'm a conservative saying this, too. You need to be protected. I think what concerns me also are many of the illegals coming here, too. How many of these people have been vaccinated? I think that's a concern.
I think you can have a lively, civil debate on vaccinations. I've been involved with them. But I agree with you. I think people need to be vaccinated, too. And you're right. Measles are making a comeback. Again, I wonder if any of that has to do with allowing illegals in. The illegal, topic, however, is something that could get testy. But that's what concerns me.Originally posted by sparky62:

I believe in getting the major vaccinations, but not the flu shot. There's a big difference. The flu shot is developed based on an educated guess about which strains they think will be most common. If you have a naturally strong immune system, you probably don't need it. Ironically, the only times I've gotten a bad case of the flu were the years I had to get a flu shot. Haven't had the flu since I stopped getting the shot.Originally posted by BetterRed:

While there are some anti-government people who don't like vaccines, the large majority of anti-vaxxers don't have a problem with the government, they're more opposed to the "the evuhhl corporashunzzzzz!!!1!!!!!1!!ELEVEN!!!" I am an anarchist, so no one hates and distrusts the government more than I do, but you'd better believe that my son will get his shots on the regular schedule. As for the OP's question, please for the love of all that's good, get your kids vaccinated. It's safer for your child, it's safer for my child and it's safer for everyone else's child. Anti-vaxxers are smelly hippies for the most part, don't be a smelly hippy.Originally posted by goody1986:
There is literally no reputable research that establishes that vaccines are harmful. Zero. Don't get swindled by folks in tin hats worried about government intrusion into, you know, the health of the public. The discussion is purely political and does not exist among actual scientists. You are a fool to not vaccinate your children for the harm it may cause to them and others.
You are missing the lines before those. Vaccines prevent deadly or crippling illnesses with no links between blah blah blah. Some people made up a link between vaccines and other problems that don't exist, then people like Jenny McCarthy find evidence of these made up links and profess them as facts to the public. Since she's famous, people listen to her. Ignorance is not a good reason to keep your children from getting vaccines.Originally posted by meo1960:
I'd avoid em at all costs if I could.
Phrases like,
(there are no known links between, blah blah blah)
(There are no studies linking, blah, blah, blah)
Good luck, with your decision.
A very good analogy.Originally posted by SeaOfRed75:
I dont believe seatbelts are 100% harmless. Air bags either. I'll take my chances with them though.
Well, I hope they don't put any other chemicals in their body.I know some people who think vaccinations are not only overrated by not the best of things to do cause you're putting chemicals in your body.
