OT - More smallpox vaccine contraindications

[Guest guest]

" sorry folks, but don't trust a doctor to tell you *no* as they get

perks/kickbacks for getting people to take vaccines, so heed the advice of

Mayo, especially those on atd's or recently off of them. "

The reason for this advice is because ATDs suppress your immune system. I'm

on steroids (which also suppress your immune system) and my doctor had no

trouble telling me that I shouldn't have a flu vaccine while I'm on them.

I asked my husband about perks and kickbacks for giving vaccinations (he's

an academic emergency physician) and he's never heard of such a thing. He

doesn't know of any pediatricians or family practitioners that are getting

kickbacks for giving vaccines.

I'm going to chose to go easy on the vaccinations for my twins because I

have autoimmune disease but he doesn't have the same reservations. Our son

was on a normal vaccination schedule (and his siblings to come would be if

everything was up to dad) and I don't think his dad would allow it if he

thought it would harm him. Certainly not for kickbacks to some of his buds.

Like it or not, childhood vaccinations have cut the deathrate of children

worldwide a huge amount. The deaths that result from any resulting

autoimmune diseases (which is completely unproven in studies) are

insignificant in comparison.

Since they don't know what causes autoimmune disease (and I have it) and

there has been an increase since vaccinations began, I have chosen to follow

a vaccination schedule that is not as rigorous as the ones given routinely

today. It doesn't make sense to me to inundate an immature immune system

with multiple diseases that would never happen together in nature. I will

follow I's (a pediatric nurse on our list with 6 kids) vaccination

schedule for her children. Her schedule seems reasonable to me.

Maybe I'd choose to have them vaccinated when they were older but I don't

feel we have a choice. Their father is exposed to all kinds of nasty

pathogens from unvaccinated people. I don't want him bringing them home to

his kids.

I don't mean to be argumentative but sometimes I think we forget what kind

of awful diseases we've avoided with vaccinations. Yes, there are some bad

outcomes sometimes but, as a whole, they haven't been a bad thing.

Take care,

Hi ,

Is I's vaccination schedule in the archives? If you know of it

offhand, can you direct us to it?

Thanks,
