Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT - Vaccines
Yep... kids suck the brains right out of you within 10 min of labor. You don't KNOW you are doing the right thing... you have to have faith that you at least are not deliberately harming them, or preventing them from being helped. Worst thing that has ever happened to mine is the got a sore hip from the MMR (bigger needle) and got real whiny for a day and a half... ear infections and teething are usually worse that what they got.
Are we creating sicker kids... probably... but not from vaccines, more from overuse of antibiotics for EVERYTHING. If the fever wasn't over 102, and I knew it wasn't strap, I generally tried to let them fight it on their own.
In general, I have been scared to death of just about everything since my oldest was born. My latest big worry is... HE has decided he loves to look at rattle snakes while he is rock climbing!
But they are wonderful sources of learning, humility and hope.

Lisa, chill. <grin> You by definition get batty the minute you have kids. All the rest is details. You've seen my brood, briefly, so you know how nuts it can get (I had to throw out the boots BTW <evil grin>).
A lot of the info comes from the net, with suspect sources. Believe it if you will. Or not. Personally I'd like to see the evidence backing up some of these apocryphal claims against vaccines, etc. A lot of what is presented as evidence is very poorly designed or extrapolated. Examine the actual studies. Do they really exist? If so, how was the data compiled. If you are not of an analytical bent, get a friend or doctor to look over the abstract or actual data.
I was vaccinated (including some of the really good ones you get in the military that make you sick for a week) and my kids are vaccinated with no ill effects so far. I see it as a better preventative than hoping some internet site with a sensationalistic agenda MIGHT be correct in their assertions.
And if I'm wrong? Well, I never did desire to live forever - that would be too boring for words after a point...
