My children began to be vaccinated, as I felt it was the responsible thing to do. My oldest however had an unheard of reaction in the province of BC, according to the doctor. He was covered in first quarter sized hives, then on day two a risen intarsia of hives covering his body. My youngest was playing sitting up games when he was 2 months old, and after his first vaccination, he became delayed. He sat up at 10 months and walked bow-legged at 14 month. Due to his reaction the first time, very similar in getting unusually ill much like my first son, I am now a conscienscious objector and refuse to vaccinate my children any further. And I've read alot more as well on the subject. Our medical technology is unfortunately in the hands of psychos, so we will abstain.

Quite right. While I support his right to not vaccinate his kids, I certainly don't want his little virus factories around my kid.

Why not? If your kid is vaccinated, then YOU shouldn't have to worry.

YES! and that is why I wonder... Why the worry over those of us who choose NOT to vaccinate our children???
Those of us who choose this are doing so with the understanding that our children COULD contract the diseases typically vaccinated against, whereas so many people vaccinate without the understanding that a vaccination is not a gaurantee and in some cases could actually cause our children illness...
I chose not to have my child vaccinated. And yes, I will be homeschooling, but not for that reason. Public education has in so many cases become DE-education that I would never place my child's mental welfare in the hands of such people. With that said... Knowing what medical science has pushed on the masses, I can't bring myself to choose to place their physical health in the hands of Big Brother either...
I understand what these diseases could do, what the chances of my child contracting them will be, what the typical survival rates of these diseases are, etc. I feel the risks of the diseases are far outweighed by the risks of these vaccinations.
And call me paranoid... maybe I am... but there are just too many other things that can be slipped into a 'vaccination'. I really don't like the idea of my child having the same tracking device that my neighbors dog has implanted in its neck. Maybe that's just me...
