Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yes, that sounds like the mantra they are all trained to repeat. It really doesn't make sense, because if you choose not to vax, you're agreeing to the supposed increased risk of disease, even epidemics. If you vax, then you're covered. Everyone's happy. And we should be good citizens first, and good parents second? Hmmm....well, that's pretty stupid. Who does that leave to parent our children?? He says vaccines are as safe as possible? Could be right, considering none are safe and never will be. From the sounds of this guy, his mind is about as twisted closed as they come. No hope in convincing him otherwise. I would switch docs, because God forbid your child ever got sick and this rabid doctor found out.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I like your altutude(attitude) Jim ________________________________ From: Marcia <q_t_vixen@...> Vaccinations Sent: Thursday, December 25, 2008 3:56:47 PM Subject: Re: 2 MONTH VACCINATIONS??---included the " info " the Dr. gave me.... i just have to fume over that " be a good citizen first " crap. i'm sorry, but if any dr. opened THAT can of worms, i'd be walking out the door before they could say anything else stupid. we care for ourselves in pregnancy BECAUSE we're good mothers, we make sure they don't eat junk food BECAUSE we're good mothers. we make sure they learn to be good KNOWLEDGEBLE people BECAUSE we're good mothers & in lines of raising them, we want them to be stable enough to take care of themselves when they grow up.. everything we DO & DON'T do, is because we're FIRST, good mothers. it is OUR JOB to make sure they're safe b/c i'm sorry but there's fewer & fewer 'good citizens' in this world, so it defaults to us. you ARE a good citizen by being a good MOTHER first & foremost & making sure that your child is protected & not used to further someone's agenda. mother's intuition is MUCH better than any dr.s 'training'. continue testing the water, continue asking questions till YOU are satisfied. if we didn't need mothers, we'd come to this world as good citizens & not need to be 'raised' by people that care about us. it sucks to be the gate keeper, but when your children grow up healthy & able, you'll feel so much better about it! ~marcia~ > > also, i shouldn't follow my emotions as a mother, but what i > > should > > do as a good citizen...he also believes the vaxes are made as > > safe as > > possible (even after i told him about all the chemicals/toxins > > which > > are in ALL of them) > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is basically the old " herd immunity " argument, and I would have guessed he used this argument, because they all do. However, these diseases were on the decline BEFORE the vaccines were even introduced. On top of that, the presence of antiboties for a particular disease DOES NOT equal immunity. Here's a good blog entry on that subject, from one of our listmates: http://unherdof.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/pick-an-antibody-any-antibody/ Shortened URL of above blog: http://tinyurl.com/6ugcwx > > also, i shouldn't follow my emotions as a mother, but what i should > do as a good citizen...he also believes the vaxes are made as safe as > possible (even after i told him about all the chemicals/toxins which > are in ALL of them) This is THE argument the pro-vaxers use that gets my blood boiling worse than any other... I'll use the same analogy I used here a few months ago: If the above reasoning is true, then let's say that my child is playing in the street. A bus is barrelling top-speed toward him. Is it your responsibility as a " good citizen " to throw YOUR child in front of the bus in hopes that it will hit him then veer off and not hit MY child? This is essentially what they are asking you to do when you vaccinate your child. Sacarifice YOURS for the mine. Hardly good parenting. Since vaccines can NEVER be free of the toxins and diseases, they will never be safe, so perhaps he's right, and they are " as safe as possible " . That doesn't make them safe. > > " The pro-vax doctors speak using rhetoric, and don't even >> know it! " > > yeah, he sounded like he was just saying what he'd been taught to > say. Yep!

Good for you.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 , I think we all ought to save your responses and have them ready the next time these arguments are posed. Maybe have a sheet ready just like Dr. Wanna-be-an-Offit for new parents to go to the ped with. You hit every point right on target!
