Parents: vaccinate or not?
-
There's a significant number of ignorant parents and journalists who know nothing about science. Read http://www.badscience.net/[^].

No doubt about that, but there's an awful lot of fake science being done that is taken seriously - ddt, saccharine, global warming - all in the name of ideology or big money. Pharmaceutical companies, and the doctors they pay to tout their products, are above that sort of thing in exactly the same way that fish are above the sky.

I'm sitting here watching The Doctors and there are some mothers who are just screaming against vaccinations. Just curious to ask the parents here how you feel on the subject.

If I had a child I'd vaccinate, MMR and all. Not to do so is irresponsible.

I've been hearing lately that there is a significant relationship between early vaccinations and autism. There is a large grassroots movement actively opposing the medical community because the shots are a big money maker and no one wants to look too closely at the data.

You should've been hearing it since '98 :) And apparently there is always some who wants to look closely at the data. Clicky[^]

Vaccinate. Even if the arguments against vaccination were valid (and I don't believe they are), the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

What would be the reasons not to? Are parents concerned about the side-effects?

I've read that some people are blaiming Autism on vaccinations. I think that's a bunch of horse- puckey myself. X| I think they're crazy to not vaccinate their children.

Not only vaccinate but make sure they play in the dirt regularly so they build up a proper immune system. There are far too many "bubble babies" these days -- kids that are so doted over and over-protected that they have virtually no resistance to anything.

Vaccinate. Leah (4 months old) has had four shots now and has two more to go.

So long as there are good statistics showing their effectiveness then definitely, I'll get 'em (and so will my kid). I just run an elecromagnet over the injection site to kill the tracking chip, so all is good :) Cheers, Drew.

That's OK. Their DNA waste-water tracking system will still work...

How is global warming fake science ? Global warming and cooling periods have occurred naturally for millions of years. There is no doubt that we are currently in a period of global warming. The question that is still debated is how much of it if any is caused by humans. Most scientists agree that humans are at least partly to blame for speeding up the rate of global warming. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming[^]

My parents let me eat a shongololo when I was a kid. If anything it only made me stronger, I rarely get sick. I hope Leah eats her shongololo one day. I don't want a bubble-baby.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

I'm almost afraid to ask but ... what is shongololo? Please don't tell me, you ate millipedes.

I don't doubt the cyclic nature of climate; it's the human influence I find little evidence to support. When I was growing up we were in imminent danger of facing another global ice age, but the media wasn't quite as noisy back then. Both predictions are based on the same dubious data. What we need to focus on is learning to cope with inevitable variations in climate. Any dreams of influencing it is pure arrogance multiplied by presumption; we're not significant enough for Earth to notice.

We have vaccinated all 3 of our girls. As a parent, I am always concerned about things like this: do we really know enough, are "they" telling us the truth, etc...etc... If it's really a concern, read everything you can on the subject. Educate yourself on the arguments that both sides have (for and against) and then make your decision. At least that way, you can go into it knowing you've done your homework. But read the research, read what pediatricians say, read what other doctors say, don't watch some TV show and make your decisions based on that ... TV shows are all about ratings, not about truth, IMHO.

No, no it didn't. Gooey inside with a crunchy shell and stringy legs*. The goo was a bit salty but otherwise quite tasteless. Poor shongololo, it didn't deserve to get eaten... * Like a prawn
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

Definitely vaccinate. The possibilities of long-term health problems from the 'vaccinated' diseases are far greater than from any possible side-effects from the vaccine itself. My son had the misfortune to emigrate after six months of UK vaccines, and therefore needed an extra lot for the different bugs there have here in NZ. Even though it was more jabs for him, we didn't hesitate to get them all done.
