My daughter is six months pregnant, and has been pressured to be vaccinated for the flu twice, A DPT and the latest an HPV vaccination, along with another rogham which see does not need, as she received one after her miscarriage. I can only imagine what the next one will be.
From the very beginning my daughter was adamant about not being vaccinated for anything.
She is being guilted and fed outrageous and untrue statistics with each and every doctors visit. I can't even imagine the potential harm that all those vaccinations could cause her or her unborn baby.
Pardon?

OK.....very upset here....
My wife and I have a very close friend who is from Iran. She has been in America for almost her whole life. She is in her thirties now. She has a child already and her husband and she decided to get pregnant again.
All the friends and family were very excited because their son wanted a sibling very badly and they are great parents.
Even better, her younger sister decided to try for her first and they both got pregnant about the same time (Within a couple weeks of each other). Her sister "Beth" and husband "John" wanted to have the cousins be about the same age and everyone thought it was the cutest thing.
They were both doing very well in their pregnancies and the doctors said nothing was wrong...no issues....everyone is healthy...etc. But they also did the Flu Shot push while they were at the doctors visits.
My wife printed out info on getting flu shots when pregnant and begged her not to get one but both sisters ended up getting the flu shot anyway.
Within a week of getting these shots....both sisters had miscarriages.
They were both just under three months pregnant.
Our friend is so traumatized by it, that we don't think she will ever try again. Not sure about Beth as she is a little younger and it was her first.

I worked in paediatrics for more years than I care to remember and not once did I see any child have a serious adverse reaction to a vaccine nor did I ever hear of a baby being miscarried after the mother had a flu vaccine (being a major paediatric hospital we had very close links with the main maternity hospital and I worked quite often in the neonatal intensive care unit there).
Not once.
But here you are with a known distrust of vaccines and pharma (from your previous posts in other threads) and you have not one but two "close friends" who both have miscarriages after having the shot.
I have to say that I don't believe you for one instant and in the current climate, an incident like this would undoubtedly have made it to the news.
If you've made this up or copied and pasted it from one of the more vitriolic anti-vax sites then you are a very sick man indeed.

Every woman needs to make their own, informed choice.
Hospitals are filled with very sick pregnant women who did not get a flu shor but DID get the flu..and, unfortunately, their babies often suffer the consequences.
I tend to think that, just like with autism, miscarriages may occur given a combo of genetic fragility/predisposition and environmental causes. But, who really knows...

flu shots have been proven bogus...
why this is discussed is beyond me.
the flu virus is transforming faster than shots can keep up with
you are being vaccinated against last years strain...not working.

Seriously!? LoL!!!
Hospitals - at large - have pregnant women hospitalized with flu...
www.cdc.gov...
22% of women of child bearing age hospitalized with flu.
Even if a mom avoids hospitalization, it doesn't mean her child will escape complications...
As someone who spent 8 weeks on an HRGP ward with complications of a different sort, I saw all sorts of women come and go. There are special rooms equiped with their own airlock ventilation system for mom's with communicable diseases such as flu.
Anyway, I'm no fan of big pharma or vaccines but I'm also not a fan of making decisions based strictly on fear or ignorance either.edit on 2/7/2014 by kosmicjack because: (no reason given)edit on 2/7/2014 by kosmicjack because: (no reason given)

It actually mutates because of antigenic shifting. Try reading Kuby's Immunology 7th edition, then work in a immunology lab. Come back when you learn something.

I'm sorry, I thought we were exchanging anecdotal experiences and giving our opinions on a discussion board....not arguing semantics and parsing words.
Upshot, no one on this thread is an expert, as far as we know, so my original comment still holds some merit, even if you don't like the CDC's stats demanded by the other poster...people need to consider all the facts and their own family and medical histories...not rely on advice from strangers on an anonymous discussion board.

You presented no research. Just two websites with opinion. Research is scholarly and peer reviewed.
While I feel for anyone who has miscarriages, I think coincidence is at work, as well as the trend to find something to blame.
