Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Several weeks ago I asked this group's advice on how to inform our doctor about our decision to no longer accept vaccines. My son was due for his annual physical and I wanted to be prepared to decline vaccinations. Well today was his visit, I was well prepared with signed and notarized affidavits I printed off some of the sites you all recommended. Even though I knew I did not need to provide written documentation to the doctor, only to the school, I was prepared anyway. Well imagine my surprise when I accompanied my son to the exam room with the nurse who took his height, weight etc. I told her I just want to be sure he would not receive any vaccines as we are no longer vaccinating our family. Her reply was " Oh, are you concerned about the preservatives ? " Being the cautious cynic I answered, " Well it's for a lot of different reasons " And she totally shocked me when she told me that she had spent a whole Saturday watching youtube videos on the dangers of vaccinations and had decided herself not to take them !!! I asked if she had kids, she said no but if she did she would not vaccinate them most likely. We then started discussing the Gardisil vaccine and she told me the pharma reps are right up front with the risks of Gardasil - I was shocked. Anyway, no pressure or debate with her and the doctor was not phased at all that we declined vaccinations. A very pleasant and easy visit.
