We vaccinate for those who can't. If you choose not to vaccinate your child because of "autism" or any of that bullshit, I have no respect for you. If you can't vaccinate your child due to religious reasons or your child being allergic I understand. I can not stand these moms thinking they are smarter than doctors & they get their research from Google.

Do I vaccinate my children, yes and no. All of children are up to date on all vaccinations expect for 1 child. She can not safely be vaccinated, therefore relies on herd immunity.

I am that mom tho. I know for 100% fact that every one around us is vaccinated. I do not allow unvaccinated children around my children. It is my responsibility to keep them safe.

I'd like to apologize to the mother that originally started this thread. Come ON ladies. We are raising a generation here. We need to work together. I am sorry @tedrielleselders that you are dealing with this ugliness. Ask around, read, look up, and seek advice. We all are doing the best we know how with the best of the knowledge we have at the time.

If you don't want to vaccinate that's fine. I do so just please keep your kids and diseases away from mine. I'll take the risks that come with vaccinations. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ndnprincess7 I did as a kid. All 3 of us got it from a friend's 2 yr old. Both my Aunt and my brother got shingles as adults. Some people have a stronger immunity to chicken pox and it is a one-time deal. Others are less tolerant of it and it stays dormant until adult on-set shingles. They say it is triggered by stress but see, since not everyone has the same reaction I feel it is so worth it to get vaccinated for chicken pox. The whole idea when we were younger was to get it as a child and we would be OK they said. That is simply NOT the case for everyone.

My son got the mumps. Diagnosed A week before he was scheduled to get his 2nd dose.... I tell you what, he couldn't move his head. He couldn't swallow..his testicles were so swollen it was painful to sit, stand, lay, or move period. He was in pain..

I’d rather have an autistic kid then a dead kid cuz of a preventable disease 🤷🏼‍♀️ even though they don’t cause autism but still

People have longer life expectancies these days thanks to advancements in medical science. Infant and child mortality rates are much lower now than 100-200 years ago or even further back.

People were more likely to die from simple things such as an ear infection (leading to brain abscess) or food allergies. Sure people get these illnesses still, but they are normalized because they don't have the mortality rate they once did if diagnosed.

Diseases that we vaccinate against still have a relatively high mortality rate if contracted, and spread easily to those who are not immune. That is why it is better and more successful to prevent than to try and treat after contraction.

I’m officially at a loss of words y’all ...

@its.sarah, it was expected just continue with your vaccines, ladies.

@blakeslatinmama, i’ve explained. next

@kaander1, I’m honestly dumbfounded by what you just said

@mckallalynn.., great. not here to persuade you. im sure we all love our kid or kids.

I also don’t support big pharma. once you’re vaccinated you’ll forever be a customer.

@its.sarah, first off, lets be logical. the human mind and body as a whole is very advanced. do you really think it needs the assistance of TOXINS in order to survive again lab made diseases. second, if you’ve had the chance to get your hands on a vaccine insert NOT a CDC flyer but an actual insert it’ll almost be like child abuse once you’ve read the ingredients you’re consenting your child to be injected with. Also, vaccines does in fact cause autism along with “simple” infections and diseases like ear infections, allergies, eczema, milk intolerance, etc. No one is born with those things, doctors often normalize those things. Vaccines attack your G. I. system and brain which trigger these things into motion. Herd immunity is a myth to me, personally and saying you’re vaccinating your child for the betterment of others simply sounds like scarification but to each its own.

@ndnprincess7 if you've had chicken pox once it's very unlikely you'll get it again! Also you can't get shingles from someone with chicken pox :) this is what the National Health Service (UK) website has to say about it ссылка

I think it's crazy how vaccinations are even up for debate in America! In the UK it's very uncommon to come across someone who doesn't vaccinate!

@kaander1 I don't run with my doctor says, I did my own research and felt like the pros outweigh the cons. I love my son and want him to be protected.

@kaander1, ok since your an anti vaccinations can you tell me more in depth why you are ?

@bb_elizabethc, I completely agree with you. No vaccinations are the best decision. Besides it’s always the pro vaxxers who show their true ignorance but are so oblivious they’re not aware of how ignorant they are. PLUS, medical school doesn’t even go into depth on vaccinations. lol i’ll hate to be a person who takes everything these doctors say and just run with it without thinking for myself.

Do I vaccinate my children, yes and no. All of children are up to date on all vaccinations expect for 1 child. She can not safely be vaccinated, therefore relies on herd immunity.

I am that mom tho. I know for 100% fact that every one around us is vaccinated. I do not allow unvaccinated children around my children. It is my responsibility to keep them safe.

@ndnprincess7 I had chicken pox and if you have chicken pox you will get shingles later and if someone comes into contact with the sores that hasn't been vaccinated they can contract the chicken pox. And you should be immune but I've heard of people getting pox and shingles more then once.

3 oldest vaccinated youngest son Isn’t my youngest daughter is my son can’t have vaccines so I make sure my other kids are to protect him. Anti Vaxxers putting my kid at risk because they think they know better 😒

@its.sarah another Andrew Wakefield

@bb_elizabethc, people think I’m pretty cool 🤷🏽‍♀️ their words not mine. And it’s sad that other people’s insight mean nothing to you because that’s how you learn more things in this world by having discussions and listening to other people’s insight / opinion. I’m glad you got it all figured out tho. I wish I was more like you but sadly I’m lame apparently 😭 and where am I trying to be a “billy bad ass over the internet “ 🤔🤔 and I could say the same thing to you “do your research better and you would know and be more informed “ about vaccination but hey 🤷🏽‍♀️ to each their own. Your the dr here not me 😂

@mckallalynn.., we well never find out because she doesn’t wanna discuss stuff with people who make jokes sadly 😭

@its.sarah hahaha like i said its an app. Your insight means nothing to me. Whats so cool about you? Seem pretty lame to me. Here we go billy bad ass over the internet . Haha its pretty common sense , if you havent figured it out already. Do your research better and you would know and be informed. Have a great day.

@its.sarah I wanna find out where she went to school..

@bb_elizabethc, your in for a rude awaking being on this app😂 nobody said you gotta be the same as us we too cool for you anyways 😎😂 it just sucks you can’t take a joke 😬. If you feel like your a fool that’s your fault. If the shoe fits right 🤷🏽‍♀️. I simply asked you a question that I still didn’t get an answer to btw because I was actually interested in hearing more about something you believe in. Your very welcome btw and you have an amazing wonderful day 😊 hope to see you around more on this app so I can hopefully find out what your natural ways are

Yes you can draw titers pregnant! Just a blood test @ndnprincess7

@kambam, can you do that while pregnant?

I would hope so since I already contracted it. But I haven't checked. We'll find out when my son gets chicken pox someday lol. You can ask your doctor to draw titers before receiving any new vax or boosters and that will tell you what you're already immune to. I haven't personally known anyone who got shingles if they contracted natural cpox but anything is possible @ndnprincess7

@its.sarah it doesnt matter how long i been on this app. You can make light of it ,not everyone is going to be like you or others on here. We all have to be the same? Its different if i came on your post talking about something completely off topic but i didnt and its not. You are not the op. Like i said i owe you nothing. Im ready for anything but once you try to make me out a fool or sound stupid, the discussion ends. We are adults here. i can and will comment on whatever post i want. Thank you.

@kambam, do you know if you’re immune to it now? I saw something saying we’re more likely to get shingles if not immune to the pox. I don’t know how to check that though.

Me and all my siblings and friends got the pox growing up 😊 @ndnprincess7

@bb_elizabethc, you have no sense of humor 😑. We like to make light of touchy subjects on this app. Idk how long you been on this app but making a comment on a post be ready for someone to ask you questions about what you stated. If your not ready to have a discussion don’t talk about it then.

@kambam, well I wouldn’t know that because she won’t answer me 😑

Anyone here ever have the chicken pox?

@its.sarah im not hurt by anything. I dont think this topic should be "all jokes". I was answering to the orginal post to give my insight of vaccinces as the op asked. Idk where yall 2 came from.

She originally meant she would take her children to be treated at the hospital in the event of extreme illness. Not bang drums and sing circles around them. Although I know people who actually do that 😣 @its.me

@bb_elizabethc because people agree with me. They are backing me up??

@mckallalynn.. here we go .. yall females cant stand alone, yall need people to back you up and to air you up.

@bb_elizabethc she's asked her question before my coconut oil comment. Do you not use coconut oil? You said natural ways.

@bb_elizabethc, girl it’s all jokes omg have a sense of humor gosh. Are you really that hurt by my comment that you don’t wanna share the knowledge you use ? Like I’m tryin to learn new things everyday here that’s why I ask questions. I’m open to discussion. Clearly your not.

@its.sarah if you really want to know you wouldnt have made it a joke about the coconut oil. Im not here to please yall or for yall to come at my wrong. So i owe you nothing.

@mckallalynn.., I know I’m still waitin for my reply 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

@bb_elizabethc you can get rude all you want, your not going to hurt my feelings. Why are avoiding @its.sarah though? She is asking a really good question

@bb_elizabethc, I’d like to share another post with you I’m not sure if you seen it or not ссылка

@mckallalynn.. do you want to keep going? i said what i had to say and so did you. Im not trying to get rude on this app. So please dont make me go there. You did your research for your children and i did the same for mi es. Parenting isnt a one size fits all.

@kambam, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ll be watching too! The great debate.

@bb_elizabethc, but can you answer my question tho i actually really wanna know

This isn't even that bad yet. Few more hours up on the feed it'll get 2k comments and 5 mom life deaths @bayou_donna

@mckallalynn.. and i pray the same for yous. Im not worried about a thing.

Look what this Louisiana mama has started. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂

@bb_elizabethc like I said, I pray for your children. You would have to live with your choices for the rest of your life.

@bb_elizabethc, who is bashing you tho 😭🤔 I literally asked a question because I wanted to know what you do to cure them. Like what do you use naturally to cure them?

@mckallalynn.. oh im sorry yall cant have a normal conversation without trying to bash someone haha. I do things naturally and whats best for my children. Do what you want for yours. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Better to be safe then sorry

@mckallalynn.., damn for real hold on I’m gonna run to the store to buy some right now

@its.sarah she rubs coconut oil on em.

@bb_elizabethc where did you go to medical school at? How many years did you spend studying vaccines?

@bb_elizabethc, wait you said you will cure them as normal? What do you mean?

@mckallalynn.. haha my kids will not get sick and die. They are very healthy and if we do come across a "disease " we will cure them as normal. people have had these diseases and survived and are immune for life. You do know some vaccinces shed and that can get other people sick right? As a parent i have asked for a vaccine insert and they didnt give it to me. They gave me a handout/printout from the cdc website which was not what i asked for. So i found it myself. Im very informed thank you.

We vaccinate and always will ! Besides the flu shot lol. I disagree with people who think they shouldn’t vaccinate because it can cause more harm. That’s just false facts. The percentage of having a bad side affect is soooo low! There’s way more chances a child can get way more sick if they don’t get vaccinated. Vaccination was made for a reason! Just like taking some meds for a headache was! My daughter is one now and has never gotten sick not even a cough!

@bb_elizabethc I pray your children don't get sick or die from a disease that could've easily been prevented.

Also- as a parent you can ask for a vaccine insert. Doctors keep them in office for parents wanting to know.

No one in my family has ever had an adverse reaction so we vaccinate. We won't do the HPV shot(not required) but everything else we do. I believe in the science of vaccines.

I would suggest looking up the ingredients in the vaccines to start with. They are horrible and to be honest im not going to risk my children for the rest of the world period. Sorry not sorry. Im not saying im smarter than a doctor but they couldnt even tell you whats all in vaccines or whats on a vaccine insert, as far as adverse reactions. Doing research and getting informed is the best thing you can do for your baby.

@db413, yeah I didn’t want to give my baby the flu shot either. After 2, 4, and 6 month shots, as a mother I opted out on the flu shot because flu season was just about over with at the time.

I always read on vaccinations when I come across it. I do believe in vaccinating my LO. Coincidental, CNN just published an article yesterday on opting out on vaccines leaves areas vulnerable for outbreaks.

Agree with above post. Any side effect that may come from a vaccination is extremely rare and in my opinion wayyy better then the diseases they vaccinating for.

We vaccinate. But didn’t do the flu shot. That’s the only one he didn’t get.

We vaccinate for those who can't. If you choose not to vaccinate your child because of "autism" or any of that bullshit, I have no respect for you. If you can't vaccinate your child due to religious reasons or your child being allergic I understand. I can not stand these moms thinking they are smarter than doctors & they get their research from Google.
