Do you immunize your kids?
(Or would you if you had them?)
Anonymous answers, so I don't have to single anyone out for their irresponsibility towards their children and our herd immunity... I'm just curious. Is this a push poll, SU? |
We did.
Arent immunizations required before they start public school? Why would you not immunize your kids? Are you talking MMR, etc? |

I don't know how people avoid the school requirement, but there's obviously a loophole somewhere. |
No I dont want them to get autism.

We vaccinate our kids, but there are a lot of families who selectively, or delay vaccinations for their kids. Besides the possible autism link, they object to a lot of the additives (formaldehyde). They are uncomfortable with such a small baby getting a barage of shots at once, so they delay some of them until older.
The polio vaccine is a whole other can of worms. People say that the only cases of polio contracted now are from the vaccine themselves, that we would easily be able to treat polio in this day and age, that many cases of polio were misdiagnosed in it's day (even President Roosevelt). Underlying all this, I think there is a movement of general distrust of the professional medical community. As far as getting out of shots, I think you just send in an exemption form. |

Does anybody else think it's really self-centered to not vaccinate your kids. I mean, not vaccinating your kids really only works if you expect that everybody else will vaccinate theirs and thus your kids won't actually be at risk of contracting polio or whatever.
Am I being unreasonable? I have a friend whose church doesn't believe in vaccination. Last year the congregation experienced a nasty outbreak of whooping cough. |
