    Why have you decided to not get your children vaccinated?

    I feel strongly about it. I don't understand why someone would deliberately put their own children, and other people's children at risk when it is easily preventable. Much like letting them ride around in a car without a seatbelt, because the seatbelt might chaff their arm.

    I guess it's a failure to assess risks accurately. Why is that.... I'd love to know!

    ps, the film was removed because it was .... hmm, what's a nice way of saying Complete Bull....Let's try "inaccurate".

    Vaccines exist for the herd immunity. There a small minority of people who for various medical reasons cannot be vaccinated. But if the remainder of the population are vaccinated there is a strong likelihood that those who cannot be vaccinated won't get sick. Your child may get ill if they catch a preventable illness but someone else's may die as a result.

    Meningitis is an extremely serious illness and certain strains can be stopped with vaccines. Before not vaccinating your children speak to a doctor as they have the facts and can provide information more accurately than those of us on boards.

    I have a child that likely has an immune deficiency of some sort. One they can't find so one she's probably going to grow out, but nonetheless what's a cold to your child can land my child in hospital. She takes antibiotics every single mon/wed/fri. We have still vaccinated her. At her 13 month vaccinations that she couldn't get until she was 20 months she needed antihistamines, antibiotics and steroids after them. All of that is still safer than her possibly getting meningitis. We were very concerned about how far off schedule she was. She had incomplete reactions to some of her vaccinations too so even though she's vaccinated they haven't all worked.

    We really rely on herd immunity.

    What's best for all children not just those that are healthy is vaccination.

    So I'm so glad common sense prevailed. A celebrity being seen to promote an anti vax film could have further set back vaccination rates that are already falling.

    It's not only immunosuppressed children who are harmed by things like measles. Perfectly healthy children can, and do die from contracting it. Vaccine's are a victim of their own success. People don't remember what used to happen before they existed.


    Roald Dahl lost his daughter Olivia.

    I always think of Roald Dahl's daughter whenever I hear someone saying that measles isn't very serious :(

    My grandmother worked as a nurse all her life and we had a conversation about immunisations not long ago. She couldn't believe the resurgence of diseases that were previously almost eradicated, thanks to people who have chosen not to vaccinate their kids. She listed off loads of people she knew from her youth who had died of diseases that are now preventable and asked 'Why would anyone not want to be immunised against these?'. A 6 week old neighbour of hers died after catching whooping cough from an older sibling.

    Whatever anyone believes about what is best for their own child, nobody has any right to put the health of other children and immunosuppressed people at risk. And that's exactly what you are doing if you don't immunise.

    I will never ever ever EVER understand anybody not vaccinating their children. Why? Can someone please explain why they refuse to do so?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,391 ✭✭✭fro9etb8j5qsl2


    Also op, I would just like to point out that the article in your link originated from naturalnews.com. A website who tout a load of nonsense under the guise of 'informed medical advice', usually with a 'evil big pharma' slant and quotes from a dubious sounding doctor. I've read a lot of articles from their site, to me most of them seem to be absolute fantasy and based on conspiracy theory. Of note, a series of articles about sunscreen causing cancer stick out in my mind. Especially this one, about curing skin cancer with direct sunlight, which contains the following:
    Then there's the case of Dr. Harland G. Call, who was diagnosed with skin cancer and was advised by a surgeon to have it removed. Instead, he decided to sunbath the cancerous area.

    After a short period of continuous sunbathing, the skin cancer was completely gone. He returned to his MD for a confirmation, and his doctor confirmed that the skin cancer had disappeared and no surgery was required. [3]

    According to Dr. Bernarr Zovluck, "Cancer is helped by sunbathing, writes Dr. Zane R. Kime. Kime writes
    that those who get more sunlight have less cancer. Sunbathing heals
    cancer by building up the immune system and increasing the oxygen in the
    tissues." [4]

    http://www.naturalnews.com/046239_sunlight_alternative_medicine_cancer.html

    So, to be honest, I wouldn't be trusting the health of my child to them if I were you....

    I wanted this to be about the movie Vaxxed not the usual why did you not. I have studied the risk more then I ever wanted too. Having 2 kids without vaccine make you worry about it more then a sheep that just follows the plan. I have run the maths and I am happy so far. My children will have vaccines just not all of them. I look at the risks of each and every one.

    I feel that not enough questions are asked and there are to many people fighting and even winning the vaccine fight. I just want safer vaccines with lower risks. I have heard ever argument and have even had meetings with 4 doctors on the subject.

    So back to this movie Vaxxed. It is being people trying to tell there story but no one wants to listen. Main stream media putting it down without seeing it.

    Wondering when the European release will be?

    But it has to be about the actual vaccines. These vaccines are against horrible childhood illnesses. I cannot understand why you would pick any of them to leave out? And you might have done your research (though I would question your sources) but others won't

    Movies like this are ridiculous. People who believe things at face value particularly from celebrities will not bother to read further and potentially not vaccinate affecting herd immunity. It should be banned

    Please keep your kids far away from mine and stop piggybacking on the immunity of children with responsible parents.

    When it comes to 'doing your research' those who oppose vaccines only seem to concentrate on pseudoscience and blogs ranting about big pharma. There's never links to peer-reviewed research, ever.

    I found this article interesting - a journalist who is pro-vaccine (enough to vaccinate his own kids) looks at the viewpoint of the other side and tries to work out what the debate is about. Might be interesting to some here :)

    I'd rather be called a sheep than run an experiment with my own children's health.

    Have you studied testing methodology while doing your sums? If you did, you would know how and why the schedules are the way they are.

    The schedule is tested, and has been proven to be effective. By picking and choosing your own schedule you have no proof of the efficacy of the timings you are choosing. Are you a qualified pharmacist? Have you been running studies on the side?

    What is the purpose of coming up with your own schedule? It doesn't just come out of a hat. There are decades of studies with reams of reviewed evidence to support it.

    It just doesn't make any sense to me.

    Didn't JTs child die from hitting his head as a result from a seizure?
    As far as I know medication for epilepsy CAN control seizures but CANNOT stop them happening altogether so even if he was giving his son medication it still could of happened.
    So what's your point?

    This is obviously a sensitive subject to a lot of people so I'll just say my piece. My mother didn't get me vaccinated. Not because she was against, just because she couldn't be bothered after eleven children. Anyway, my point is, because she chose not to I ended up developing Meningitis Meningococcal Scepticaemia at age 10. I was lucky enough not to loose any parts of my body as she delayed in taking me to the doctors, then hospital. I'm fine now but if you do your research on the diseases that the vaccines protects your child from, you might change your mind. I know your worried about the "effects" of the vaccine but the after effects of some of those diseases are more worrying than the vaccines. I may have all my limbs but if you look up MMS then you'll see that some children that have had the disease develop long term problems. These include memory problems, balance problems, among others, some children even become deaf. I have a lot of the long term effects and it ain't nice. That's just my two cents worth.

    Well, they say you are what you eat, but I think it's more like You are what you read. What do you read? Natural news? Daily Mail?

    I looked up the film credits. Written and directed by struck off and entirely discredited Andrew Wakefield. One of the worst 'scientists' ever to grace the planet. Wholesale falsification and dishonestly is what this guy is known for, as the tribunal found. Barred from practicing ever again, a man responsible for unnecessary deaths and suffering. I guess he's trying to make a buck... I just wish he'd do it without harming our children.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 689 ✭✭✭Straight Edge Punk


    I have a cousin who hasn't vaccinated her daughter who is the same age as my youngest. As a result of this, I refuse to have either of my kids around her which is awful. It's easy to control when they are this age but what about in school?

    There needs to be a plan laid out and put into action to prevent these unvaccinated children being allowed in school with vaccinated children.

    And please don't come back with the old retort of "well if your kids are vaccinated, what is the problem".

    or https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/vaccine-uptake

    Numbers of reported deaths due to vaccines.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,948 ✭✭✭Sligo1


    OP, genuine question here. Would you reconsider thoroughly vaccinating your child if herd immunity wasn't a concept? I mean, obviously as it is, herd immunity results from a large majority of people having vaccinations.but if this didn't come into it I mean. Basically, if only those who were vaccinated had protection, and all those who weren't therefore had a high risk of contracting these diseases... Would you vaccinate your children in this instance? Or would you still see the risk of the vaccine more of a risk than the very likelihood of your child contracting one of the preventable diseases.

    MMR I will give them just measles after the age of 3

    Polio unless there is a case within 1000 km of us. I am hoping that it will be history soon.

    Tetanus also will be given after 3

    Diphtheria also after 3

    All other under review until they are older

    Would you be waiting to give these as you are in the circumstances I explained earlier. If polio was currently prevalent and if the other disease were currently prevalent and there was a high likelihood of your children contracting these diseases (as there was in the past) due to there being no herd immunity.... Would you be waiting until after your child was 3 to be giving them these vaccinations?

    If the risks where higher of course I would vaccinate. We in the western world are lucky that the vaccines have done a great job. Bring risk down so low that it is almost the same as vaccine related side effects. way lower the 1% for any problems.

    Gosh Lazygal was very right. You really are piggybacking on other children's immunity. Can't you see that's a terrible thing to do? Can't you see that if a large amount of people do what you are doing you will just be reversing all the good that has taken decades to do!? You have literally just said yourself that you would vaccinate if the likelihood of your child getting a disease was higher. Can't you see you could/will be contributing to these diseases getting out of hand again in the future. Your child may be ok... But what about your children's children?? Or their children. Or the little immunocompromised babies and elderly that you are putting at risk.

    What a disgustingly selfish attitude to have. Your children won't thank you if their babies are put at risk, become disabled or perhaps die because polio or some other disease becomes an epidemic in 20 years.

    OK, so let's keep this on the original point.

    That movie is a stream of propaganda for Wakefield in the guise of having a debate. Let's be clear about this: the debate happened, his results were carefully examined and found to be fraudulent and he was ultimately struck off for doing stuff a doctor should never do in a million years. And all for a bag of money from lawyers who wanted him to fabricate evidence against vaccine makers.

    So there's nothing whatsoever to debate, and this can only be an attempt for Wakefield to maintain his figurehead status as leader of the anti-vax movement and, presumably, convert that into cash.

    If you want to read about the discussion, do real research. Instead of reading stupid stuff from lunatic fringe sites. Read what the real researchers have published: cold hard facts, no emotion whatsoever. You'll find that in journals like Nature, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and so on. This site lists medical journals according to their quality, i.e. the most trustworthy, so that's where you should get your information, not the internet.

    You spoke about delaying immunizations citing three diseases, but you're being quite naive about these:
    • Polio has made a recent resurgence because folk won't vaccinate against it, mainly in Arabic countries where it's claimed that it's a plot by the Americans to kill their children, and in Africa where they claim it's the cause of AIDS.
    • Diphtheria is everywhere nowadays, so don't think it's an unusual disease
    • Measles is booming again, despite being declared as eradicated in 2000 by the CDC, but the anti-vaxxers killed that one off.
    You mention avoiding MMR - rubella and mumps are common causes of infertility among women and men respectively, so I'm guessing you're not too interested in grandchildren.

    You are, of course, taking responsibility for your own children and I suppose that's your right as a parent, although I think you're walking close to child abuse. However, what is utterly unacceptable is the threat your children pose to the rest of society. People who have had cancer or transplants or for whatever medical reason cannot be vaccinated are threatened by their very existence.

    In short you are a self-centered, inconsiderate, ill-informed threat to society - keep your children indoors, please and do not allow them contact with normal folk.

    Unless you keep your children at home 24/7, you don't actually know what the risk is. The recent measles outbreaks in the US (over 600 confirmed cases in 2015*) were caused by disease-carrying children visiting the country. In 2011, those diseased children came from France. Can you be sure that your children are not going to cross paths with any French child in the near future?

    (versus approximately 100 suspected adverse vaccine reactions in 10 years. Of course you'll know this from reading the CDC information, which makes it all the more peculiar that you're opting out of the safer protocol. A bit like choosing to drive somewhere instead of fly because you're scared of dying in a plane crash ... )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭Magico Gonzalez


    I'd feel like a proper muppet if I bought into Wakefield's nonsense.

    Imagine being so bowled over by someone already exposed as a fraud, exposed as profiteering from his erroneous studies, so easily swayed by confirmation bunkum read online that you would risk your own children's health and the health of other children, potentially fatally.

    I suppose the last thing you'd want to do after realising you were an irresponsible, gullible, fake-koolaid drinker is own up to it.

    My sympathies.

    What are you reading ?

    polio Only 3 countries in the world have it. none within 2000 KM of me & my children.


    Diphtheria is not every where ? 2 children in the EU have died from it in the last year with very few cases killing in over 20 years in Europe.

    Measles I had it all my family had it you most likely had it. In Africa it kills but here in EU 1 death from over a 1000's cases in Berlin. The child was also with other sicknesses. Stop the fear. It's was bad in the world but vaccines have stop that. risk is very low this should be about the movie.


    No one has seen the movie its not released yet. I would just like to see if it sheds new light on the issue or at least let people talk about it in a real fashion. Not a panic ever child is going to die way.

    Vaccines have done so good a job I can consider not having to vaccinate my kids. If there was a need or the risk was greater I would not think twice. I am not a fool I just want the best for my kids. Out of 6 years between them my son was sick twice for a few days. I am very luck. I just want the vaccines to be improved to 99.999%

    It's was bad in the world but vaccines have stop that.
    Now I'm just confused. You say measles doesn't kill many people because vaccines stopped it. And so because less people are dying from measles that means measles isn't that dangerous so no point vaccinating?

    You're piggy backing off other kids. So it's grand for other kids to get vaccinated so that your kids don't catch any of the diseases the others are vaccinated against.

    My kids are vaccinated. They are never sick. They've all had max 3 antibiotics in their life.

    Expert on vaccines??? Ben Carson is a retired neurosurgeon who has entered into politics, also happens to be a republican and conincidentally recently endorsed Donald Trump in his candidacy. Just listening to trumps ridiculous ramblings in that video should be enough to raise flags for anti vaxers.

    Come on....

    I am just showing the many sides of this issue. Dead children is never good. I am not asking anyone to believe me. Just to read more about it then they have.

    Just 1 case where vaccine are not perfect and there are many more proven payments made to families. There is a fund for people effected badly by vaccines. Why? because the sometimes side effect are life changing.

    I am sad to say.

    Had a great career until he said something bad about vaccines. Why can't questions be asked? Why are people in great fear of people asking for more information on vaccines and what they do?
