Were you vaccinated as a child? What vaccines have you gotten?

I personally had all the recommended vaccines when I was a child, but there were less required/recommended when I was born than today. My mom is still digging up my old shot records for me, but I also remember getting the Hep B series when I was 13.

As of right now, my child will only be on a selective and delayed vaccine schedule. He will only get vaccines I feel are safe and neccessary.

I was given Tetanus vaccine after being bit by a dog (wouldn't let me leave the clinic without it, ugh), that is it, however.

I will NOT be giving my children vaccines.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Sure do!

Will you get vaccines in the future?
Yep.

Will you vaccinate your future children?
Of course, I'd be an irresponsible mother if I didn't.

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)
Yep, MMR protects against three highly contagious diseases. (Measles, Mumps and Rubella)

Are you vaccinated?

No!

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?

NO!

Will you get vaccines in the future?

N....O!

Will you vaccinate your future children?

NO WAY ON EARTH!

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)

Nup!




Haha right....

I second what Bryce said. There is nothing irresponsible about not giving your child vaccines. In fact I almost would consider it IRresponsible to NOT consider what you allow people to inject into your child and when they do it - if you at least look at the effects and selective vaccinate, well, that's your choice, not mine (I don't agree with vaccines at all). But totally ignoring it and simply doing what the government reccommends... well... *That's* what I'd call irresponsible.

Those who do not vaccinate most often do it in the best interest of the child.

I second this.

I agree I would call it irresponsible to vaccine my child as well.

I agree 100% with Flying Nun. if you don't give your children ANY vaccines you are a. making your job getting your children enrolled in school much harder b. Irresponsible. Sorry, there is no way around it. If you knowingly put your children at risk for diseases easily prevented then you are an irresponsible parent

No, I'm not vaccinated and have never been vaccinated. Never had a shot before. I also don't plan on getting any vaccinations in the future or plan on vaccinating my children if I ever have any, unless it's absolutely necessary. Except for a "select few," pretty much all vaccines are no good, they're just not healthy for you. *shrugs* I'm sorry, but that's just what I personally believe.

Way to go, you just assumed I haven't bothered to look into side effects of vaccinations and what goes into them.
I do my research first, thanks.

Those who do not vaccinate most often think they're doing it in the best interest of the child, but in reality, they're just putting the child at greater risk of catching a nasty virus or disease, which in turn just means more people carrying around that virus/disease and thus we will continue on needing vaccinations.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes, or else my school would've expelled me. 0.0 Very true, they threatened to do so because we didnt give them the entire list of vaccines I had gotten. >.>

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Yes, all

Will you get vaccines in the future?
Only vaccines I feel are very safe and neccessary

Will you vaccinate your future children?
I will do a delayed/alternative vaccine schedule

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)?
Other... I find pros and cons on both sides. lol Useful but ish unethical.

However intended best interests do not necessarily equal the actual best interests.

I got all my vaccines and will give my children theirs if I ever have them. Why? Harmful diseases are more life threatening then the chances of a complication due to a vaccine. I travel a lot and I expect my children to as well, thus exposing them to a milieu of disease, I wouldn't want to harm them. If I was going to live in Canada and never travel or come into contact with people from other countries I might consider not vaccinating.

Best interests is usually an opinion.

The only time it is not an opinion is when you know your child has a proclivity to a mitochondrial disorder or other disease/disorder/syndrome, and you opt out of vaccines so they do not aggravate or induce the disease/disorder/syndrome.



It is a risk you choose to take. You might think differently if 3 days after receiving their MMR your toddler becomes unresponsive and is diagnosed with an ASD.... or breaks out in hives and a raging fever.

Are you vaccinated? Indeed
Do you have all the recommended vaccines? For the most part. I don't have the HPV shot or flu shot, but other than that I do
Will you get vaccines in the future? Definitely
Will you vaccinate your future children? Yep
Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR) Ehh, I don't know. If that's the only way for it to be done than I guess so. It's not like they aborted them for that purpose so they might as well use them.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Yes I do. My mom made me get them.

Will you get vaccines in the future?
Yes.

Will you vaccinate your future children?
Yes. I think that not getting children vaccinated is a big mistake. There are serious illnesses that are preventable by vaccines.

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)
Yes.

There are no credible links between vaccines and autism. Please don't perpetuate this myth.

Yes, I am vaccinated, and I plan to get all my children vaccinated too.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Yes, though I am sure I probably should get a tetanus sometime...but I am not worried.

Will you get vaccines in the future?
It depends, I have never received a flu shot.

Will you vaccinate your future children?
Yes and I have. Bot of my sons have had all of the shots required and this next one will as well. There have been no issues with them getting their vaccinations other than a fever for a day or two after receiving their shots.

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)
Hmmm, I didn't know this was an option. I do not agree with this. Since I did not know it was an issue, could you provide a source saying that they use aborted fetal tissue in the MMR shot?

Yes
Yes, all
Only vaccines I feel are safe and necessary
Probably
No.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Haven't gotten a shot since I was 12,so,probably not.

Will you get vaccines in the future?
No. I had an allergic reaction to the last one.(12 year whatever booster. Ick.)

Will you vaccinate your future children?
most likely. For all the baby ones.

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines?(MMR)
No. <.<

Are you vaccinated?
Yes.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Yes, selectively. I have most of the more common vaccines, like tetanus, hep b. I don't get flu vaccines and I don't have guardasil, because I think its unnecessary and may be dangerous.

Will you get vaccines in the future?
Only vaccines I feel are very safe and necessary.

Will you vaccinate your future children?
I will do a delayed/alternative vaccine schedule

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)?
Other: I've never heard of this so I'm going to have to read more on it before I have an opinion.

I had all the childhood vacinations. Even the mengitus one when that was a scare at the time. I vaciate my future kids just as i was.

And if the fetua is aborted, may as wel lmake use of it. if it helps your helath.

my dad never received a vacine in his life until now for the flu shot and he never got sick becuase of not having a certain shot.

i had the chickin pox one, still got them, but i only had like 11 spots. and i been around kids with chicken pox ofr years.

Are you vaccinated?
Yes, or else i couldn't go to school lol. I don't know how all you non-vaccinated people went.

Do you have all the recommended vaccines?
Yes, I do. Except for the H1N1 thingy.

Will you get vaccines in the future?
Only vaccines I feel are very safe and necessary. So, sure.

Will you vaccinate your future children?
If i feel it's necessary and to get them into school, yes, i will.

Do you agree with using aborted fetal tissue to make vaccines(MMR)?
It's useful for MMR, but i find it very horrific at the same time. Poor things

I did a report on this.

Vaccines have been shown to aggravate and induce mitochondrial and neurological disorders such as autism.

http://www.mitoaction.org/blog/autism-and-...ondrial-disease

http://autism.about.com/od/medicalissuesan.../mitoautism.htm

There is no definitive connection given however there has not been an alarming amount of research done on this.

We still do not know what even *causes* autism. It is undeniable that it exists outside of vaccinated children however the connection is still very recognizable.

Anyone who looks at autism stats and required vaccine stats will see that as the # of required vax's grow so does the percentage of young children with autism.

This website http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageSer...bout_whatcauses gives a description of some ideas of what causes autism.
1. Genetic Code
2. Genetic Vulnerability . Predisposition / Trigger - requiring aggravation (+) vaccines .
It has been proven that the "deactivated" viruses can affect you neurologically (and maybe your nervous system? i do not remember - it has been a while since i looked this up) it is unknown how people will react !
3. Environmental Factors - " heavy metals such as mercury " --thimerosal = mercury. found in (+) vaccines other chemicals found in vaccines.

Proof of aborted fetal tissue in the MMR, from the CDC themselves

And a list of all the vaccines that contain aborted fetal tissue

Forget the date, but you might also be concerned to know that the polio vaccine at one time was found to be contaminated with the SV-40 virus (monkey AIDS basically) and caused problems & reactions in people.
Here it is
"Subsequent studies performed in the early 1960s demonstrated that SV40 caused brain tumors in animals[21] and that SV40 could transform or turn cancerous normal human tissue in vitro.[22] A disturbing experiment performed during this era also suggested that SV40 could cause human cancers in man in vivo.[23] In 1964, Fred Jensen and his colleagues took tissue from patients who were terminally ill with cancer.[24] They exposed the tissue to SV40 and then after it was transformed, they implanted the tissue back into the patient.[25] These implants grew into tumors in their human hosts.[26] This suggested the possibility that SV40 could cause cancers in man."
"By 1960, the Salk injectable polio vaccine (IPV) had been administered to about 98 million American children and adults, and Sabin’s OPV had been administered to about 10,000 Americans and millions in the USSR where the clinical trials had been conducted.[27] It was estimated that 10% to 30% of the vaccines contained live SV40.[28] The federal agency in charge of vaccine licensing and safety at the time was the Division of Biologics Standards (DBS) of the National Institute of Health (NIH).[29] Incredibly, this agency did not order a recall of any of the SV40-contaminated vaccines.[30] The tainted vaccines continued to be administered until 1963 when they were all used and replaced by allegedly SV40-free vaccines as required by the new federal regulations promulgated in 1961.[31]

On March 25, 1961, the federal regulations that controlled the production of oral poliovirus vaccine were amended.[32] These new regulations did not require the vaccine manufacturers to discard their SV40-contaminated poliovirus seeds which were the source for all subsequent polio vaccines."

So has the amount of children with peanut allergies. Does this mean peanut allergies are caused by vaccinations? As of yet the idea that vaccines cause autism hasn't been proven medically, not enough research has been done to do so. Either way it shouldn't be assumed as fact, because it isn't.
