I came across this story yesterday, and it really saddened me. I sometimes read stories and research and get angy. This, on the other hand made me incredibly sad. My question is this... when is enough enough? Is it not enough that our children are recommended to receive more than 46 vaccinations between the ages of 0-6, but now a federal advisory panel is recommending MORE. They are recommending that nfants receive a new two-dose rotavirus vaccine (from GlaxoSmithKline), in addition to the three-dose vaccine made by Merck (put out in 2006)! How many doses do our kids need for rotavirus???
When is enough enough? My child may get sick from food poisoning. Someone should probably hurry up and make a vaccine for that...just in case. Hey guess what? My son may get mosquito bites which could cause the deadly west nile virus. QUICK! Make a vaccine for that!! Oh and my boys ski and tube in the Ohio River. They will probably come into contact with something there. WHERE'S MY RIVER VACCINE?
As I am sure you guessed, I am being sarcastic. The thing is, vaccines were originally designed to protect children. Now I feel like they are being used to make rich companies/people richer...at the expense of our children. It is, in my humble opinion, not safe to continue loading our precious children up with dangerous chemicals. How about using some of that money to research the CAUSES of autism, alzheimers, cancer, heart disease, etc? I believe vaccines play a part in some of these diseases.
In breaking news, US vaccine advisers have also approved and recommended adding two multiple vaccines to the regular schedule. Sanofi Aventiis's Pentacel is one of the new recommendations. Get this, it protects against five infections at ones! Alright, what you need to realize here is that they are trying to use a little psychology. Drug companies are hearing the debates like"Too many too soon", meaning our kids are receiving too many vaccines too soon. Some parents are only looking at the number of shots their children receive. With this, they can cut down on the number of shots by loading five vaccines into one. Currently, it is the MMR vaccine that is under fire. It is the one causing so much discussion because of the three in one. It is dangerous! And now we should give our babies FIVE IN ONE?!?!
Please know that I am not anti-vaccine. My husband and I have personally chosen not o vaccinate the boys, however, I do not recommend others to take this decision lightly. We made this decision because we are confident that we are raising the boys in a way that encourages their natural God-given immune systems to strengthen as they should. We try to feed them well, give them supplements, and of course, keep their spines adjusted. We have two incredibly healthy boys and I am SO thankful every day for that.
What I want people to realize is that our vaccines and vaccine schedules need to be made safe. GREEN OUR VACCINES! We green everything else. How about our kids, our future? Don't they deserve a little"greening?" I believe they do and I am going to do my part by putting as much education out there as I can. My hope is that you will make an educated decision regarding your child's healthcare.
