[QUOTE="buddy, post: 465503, member: 12886"] I personally agree. I understand that the fear that was stirred up all those years from the now debunked research probably still runs deep. If a child has immuno-compromised kinds of things then there may be a reason not to immunize but those kids are not likely to be around lots of school kids anyway I would think... It is scarey but i am surprised from your story, that the immunizations that the other kids had didn't cover them. Why have them in the first place then...I dont get that because I am not a medical person. Maybe it was out of caution because a case was actually identified???(was it?) That said, I do now remember hearing about a child who actually got ill and thus very disabled from immunizations, they certainly can cause bad side effects in certain rare individual cases, that's why we all sign the permissions with the risks etc. (many things in life have risks and we can't just avoid everything....I bet more kids get killed or seriously injured in bike accidents than from vaccines, just my guess) If something terrible happened to someone close to me I would maybe be a little paranoid but for me, not so sure if I would be scared enough to risk his getting all of the diseases that they protect us from. I just read a pro-vaccine article that said there are around 40 documented real injuries/complications from vaccines every year compared to the millions who dont get diseases that would wipe so many out. For anyone who has personal experience witha horrible response, I am truly sorry, I can see how that would make someone terrified. I dont think that is the majority of people who object to vaccines though. I think most do it out of ignorance or rigid thinking from years of false research and reports being spread.
