both my kids had whooping cough one year. one was fully vaccinated and one we to little for it and the doctor pretty much said.. the vaccine just isn't as good as we think it is...

Im not sure if you read the same thing but i saw the article is 6 yrs old. About the 10 kids. Anywho my point is when you get the whooping cough vaccine you are more likely to get the disease

also other factors such as diet and exclusively breastfeeding or not as well as environment

do what you believe to be best for your baby, I feel when it comes to vaccines it should be taken case by case, all babies are different, for some vaccines are the way to go but for others they are better off without it. trust your intuition and be mindful. ask yourself 'is there history in your family that raises concern in relation to vaccinating?' such as a certain illness that your baby would benefit from vaccinating to build immunity for. or in our case, we don't vaccinate mostly for spiritual reasons but also my husband s side of the family seems to have bad luck when it comes to needles, his sister has itp (a rare blood disorder that causes her white blood cells to attack her immune system) which she got from a vaccine. and his younger brother when he was born the doctor gave him a shot and ended up infecting him with e-coli and he nearly died. so for our daughter we feel it's best to not vaccinate she's real healthy and capable of building a strong immune system herself, we are careful though by avoiding heavy crowds and limiting travel at least until she's a year old. @rodeogirl8793

I've researched a lot and just when I finally say "ok I'm not doing them" then someone tags me in something about 10 babies dying from whooping cough and Then I get so upset and confused @rhliannsmommy

My daughter had a seizure two hours after her 2 month old shots. My little cousin died after her 4 month old shots, I would look up the ingredients an look up side effects. I personally won't ever vaccinate any of my children, ever. After reading the ingredients one being aborted babies tissue, I will never consider it. Plus only half the time vaccines actually work. 😏 do your research @rodeogirl8793

Its vise versa, the child who is vaccinated already has the disease, and he/she can shed and get a unvaxx kid sick, i suppose you believe vaccines "help" to not get sick? 🤔@carparker00

Keep researching! There is no research that shows vaccines are safe! Go to the cdc.gov website and you will see the ingredients that vaccines have. Good health does not come from a needle! If you have any questions please join a fb page called "vaccine re-education discussion forum" you can ask the same question there and you might get answers from mommies who have vaccine injured babies😥

I agree and that's what's so scary! Cuz I would feel awful if he got a deadly sickness from not being vaccined but then again I felt god awful when he was in the hospital for 4 days from getting vaccines... It's scary either way u go

Can you imagine how you would feel if you didn't vaccinate and your baby ended up sick with whooping cough? If you've ever heard the videos of babies sick with it, it's heartbreaking. There is always a chance of a reaction, but think of the millions of lives vaccinations have saved. Thankfully we don't have to worry about our children being paralyzed by polio, but just 60 years ago, it was a reality for so many parents. In the end, I feel like vaccines have helped so many more than they might hurt.

The doctors just say "well there's pros and cons to each side but we reccomend vaccines" but then I know other doctors who don't vaccinate there own children... I get so confused about it all 😩 I've heard horror stories from both sides... Parenting is so hard!

@marzuniversal, I've heard a lot about babies getting sick from other children not being vaccinated. That's terrible what happened to your husbands cousin :(

I would talk to your doctor. My hubbys baby cousin died from a reaction to a vaccine, but I know of more who have died because they didn't get the vaccines or because they were around another child who wasn't vaccinated. Both sides are scary, but in the end I would trust a dr, not an app.

What does the doctor recommended? Personally I would never skip any vaccines for my child I don't want any risks of him getting those diseases that could have been prevented.
