Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT - Vaccines
yikes.....the immune system is fabulously complex....second in complexity only to the brain itself...and it is still very very much in development at early ages...this is why kids -- all kids -- get more colds, etc than us older folks...the system is literally "learning" for the first few years or more.
Pounding this system with "new" vaccines...before it is developed, or fully
able
to defend itself ( vaccines ARE basically hobbled diseases, folks ) is
really
scary to me.
Also, remember...you and I may get chicken pox ( i did, and mumps...) but we get it by host to host contact...NOT by *intravenous injection* directly into the bloodstream where orders of magnitude more of disease vectors are introduced into the body than if they had to pass through the skin or mucosal linings....
just a thought.....

Give the kid some baby motrin or baby tylenol prior to the shot. Works wonders. I've got two who just got a round of vaccinations this week.

It takes him a week to get back to normal. But often the benefits outweigh
the risks. Just be aware of the side effects and watch them like a hawk. I
get up several times a night for several days after the shots to check my
babies color, breathing and temperature. Better neurotic than sorry.
