This scares me!
I really don't know how I feel about all this vaccination stuff going on. I DO think that what a lot of people have to say has SOME merit to it. But I personally don't know what to do or what the truth is. Thousands die from the flu every year. Which risk do I take?
Flu or Reaction to the vaccine?
I am terrified of Autism. But what risk do I take?
Measles and mumps, which killed so many before vaccinations, or a chance of Autism?
I have friends who believe very heavily that vaccines cause Autism. Then I have a pediatrician and a husband who is in the medical field who think there is a lot more to it than just vaccines.
Or does none of this matter because Heavenly Father has different trials and tests for each of us to go through?
How do any of you feel about this topic?

Well, I think EVERYONE knows where I stand on this subject. But, I also think that autism is not completely vaccine caused. Mainly because my son has had issues since he was born. Not to say that me getting a flu shot while I was pregnant, or giving him the Hep. B vaccine at 2 days old didn't play a part in it all. And also, I think there is a genetic component involved that is helping trigger autism. The reason I believe that more strongly is because of the seminar I went to about treating and preventing autism. They broke down all the really confusing medical stuff into -somewhat- lamens terms for me to understand how it is working. I couldn't completely explain it to anybody else though. But, as far as vaccine safety goes for me, I would feel a 1000% better about the shots if they didn't have crap in them to save a few bucks! I really do feel in my gut and soul that they will come out and finally figure out that these vaccine injuries are true and are playing a role in autism. That's just me though. But, I think the best thing we can all do for all our safety, and especially our kids safety, is rely on our Heavenly Father for guidance. I know he does have a plan for all of us. There is a reason we are blessed to have our sweet Treysen in our lives. Just as Jenny McCarthy feels she was sent her son and the disease of autism to teach the world what she knows and what she has lived to help so many people. Myself included. Treysen has taught me so much about love, joy, living in a moment (because that is so much of what he does) and seeing life in such a simple way that it makes things very happy and enjoyable. That doesn't mean my life is sunshine and rainbows all the time though. He, and my other sweet babies, put life into perspective every day and I am so grateful for that! Sorry, I get a little worked up about this subject. I think you are a great mom Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time with this topic as well. Most of the PA's that I have talked to about the FLU shots say that unless you have some other factor such as Asthma then the flu shot is not necessary. Think of all the years that we grew up without the flu shots and we survived. I am not going to say that vaccines are not helpful in some cases, but I am not a fan. There is still SO much we don't know and so many different strains of the flu that how can you be sure that you will not get what is going around. I agree with Lisa in that it is the other ingredients that they put with the virus that are questionable... who knows what the right answer is. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us all... but we get to choose for ourselves. For now we all have our agency to CHOOSE whether or not we receive these types of vaccines. Thank goodness for that.
