Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Pressured to immunise http://www.northnz.co.nz/letters.htm I am writing this in response to parents complaining to me that they feel pressured to immunise their children. I have not involved myself in this debate before but do have this to say - what the government considers giving information to parents so they can make an informed decision and what I call full disclosure of what¹s in the vaccines leaves something to be desired. I am horrified at the young age of babies vaccinated today. The certificate of vaccination required now by schools etc. is a pressure on parents to vaccinate. A recent complaint I¹ve had from parents not wanting to have their children injected with disgusting, vile things in the name of good health is that the health nurses want to visit them at home, no doubt to apply further pressure. Remember the medical profession once thought thalidomide was safe, and they were wrong. Oh so wrong. The fact that MMR has been rejected in other countries concerns me too. Some would like to force vaccination on others. I would suggest they are likely to end up in court on assault charges should they pursue the issue of forced vaccination. Meantime, back off and respect the right of parents to choose. I also received a copy of the consent form for blood tests for hepatitis etc. I felt they were worded in a way that made them seem like a compelling demand. Respect people¹s right to choose whether in favour or against. L La Trobe RD1 Kaitaia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
