WSJ Comments

[Guest guest]

I couldn't help myself and followed the link to read more of the

comments on this board. It is to bad that the vax debate becomes so

emotional, as soon as people start calling each other names, it doesn't

matter what study you show and what side you are on, people are on the

defense. I just had to share one comment that I laughed a bit at, a

woman who was thrilled at the chance to give her SON the HPV vaccine,

did she miss health class? Or does she really think he has a cervix?

(note sarcasm) Also several people commented and asked, if the

vaccines " work " as well as they are supposed to why are they afraid of

our unvaxed kids? Not a single person responded to this, I think that

says it all. It was also disturbing to read a pediatrician who said

there are studies that show a baby's immune system could handle 10,000

vaccines on the same day. And this would only be using .01 percent of

the babies immune system. If this were truly the case, how in the

world would the immune system (in his theory) be unable to deal with a

case of the measles? He continued to say that it was more than safe to

get your child vaxed even with a mild illness, fever, or diarhea?????

That one made me sick. He ended with the classic, getting your baby

immunized is the best thing that you can do. YUCK

One post I liked said she wished she had researched vaccines as much as

she had car seats, cribs, and high chairs. I echo these sentiments

since I was ignorant and thought about car seats more than I even did

vaccines.
