Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 I hope this e-mail finds everyone doing well. My name is Gustin-Perley. I'm a SAHM of two boys. Stenson is 3 yrs, and Cameron is 15 months. When Stenson had his first vaccination appt. I didn't want them to do it. My instincts told me it was wrong. Luckily, he is fine. He had his shots regularly up until he was 12 months old. When the 18 month ones came up, I forgot to take him. I continued to forget until Cameron went in for his 2 month vaccinations. At that point I elected to wait until his next well child check-up. We never went. That was the last time anyone stuck a needle in either one of my children. Shortly after the last vaccination, I began to do a little research on the risks and benefits. I've decided to completely avoid vaccinating my children. It is too risky. Almost everyone I've talked to now considers me a crackpot... a loony toon... Just plain CRAZY! My Mom even said, " Don't come crying to ME when your kids get Polio! " But I know I'm doing what is best for me and my children. I've researched it and I continue to research it. If I decide down the road that vaccination is a good thing, fine. I'll have the boys vaccinated. But right now, I don't trust it. Anyhow, there's my intro. Sorry so long winded...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 hi amanda, welcome to the list. i too, felt the same way that you did, but it took me alot longer to reach the same conclusion. fortunately, my kids seems ok, we were lucky. i am at the same point in my life--i will not be vaxing anymore--too risky. i go thru the same thing with my family--they think i'm wacko (but i am fortunate to have 1 sister who believes as i do and 2 other sisters who don't think they believe in stopping vaxing, but do understand how i feel--my dad on the other hand, just went and got a lyme vax!!) again, welcome and i hope you find what you are looking for here--i have gotten a weakth of knowledge and a great group of people who feel similarly to how i feel--i t helps alot. brigit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
