I remember when I was a child not getting the volume of vaccines that are pushed on children today. It appears near tripled.

Here's my only beef: giving vaccines to newborns with no good active immunity to recognize the virus - which is why breastfeeding is better too - mom's immunity helps protect the baby. I often tell young mothers to wait until their child is at least 6 months to a year, and don't get several shots at the same time. HepB given after birth is meant to protect sexually active people or people sharing needles in recreational drug use situations. That has got to be the stupidest shot I've ever seen. It's useless and pointless.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my information shows that it doesn't seem right to bombard a young body with all those chemicals, and certainly not at the sheer amount that schools and daycares enforce. I'm not against vaccinations, just slow down the schedule, and remove the chemicals that are harmful. Remove HepB at birth. (I refused this for my newborns. I lied and said I would have their pediatrician give it, then waited until the school forced me when they were upper elementary.) Some employers and colleges were enforcing this vaccine too. Why?

Why do people need more vaccinations now than 40 years ago? I know they've added a few, but on others, are they saying what we used to get wasn't good enough?

So, this is a good point that we should be allowed to make our own choices about these things. Everyone has a different situation. I don't like being herded like a cow to the slaughter. If my personal decisions aren't allowed, I get very sneaky with the systems, and have no qualms about avoiding and lying to people who don't have my best interests at heart.
