[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 649021, member: 1550"] This is a very interesting thread to me and I am uber-interested in those across the pond simply because I know there is more resistance there (well, I don't KNOW, but I think...do correct me if I'm wrong). I would vaccinate my kids if I were young and had babies. But I believe I did ask the pediatrician, with my youngest one, Jumper, to give her the MMR seperately, rather than three in one. I don't recall how it was done though...too long ago and it was no big deal. When I worked at Head Start we had several whooping cough outbreaks. I had to get re-vaccinated for whooping cough to work there. I think it was just a tetanus shot. I also was forced to get the flu shot. I had never had one before mostly because I didn't think about it...I haven't had the bonafide flu since I was in my 20's. But I've had it every year since then with no problems. Having said this, I do believe some people do have problems with shots. This vaccination controversy is huge where I live because many people, especially those who are from other countries (not European countries, but mostly far East) have not vaccidnated. Jenny McCarthy needs duct tape over her mouth. She doesn't know what she is talking about. It has been proven over and over again in the medical community that it is not vaccination shots that cause autism, but there is always somebody willing to listen to a celebrity, even though they are entertainers, not medical experts. Blows my mind, really. Yet Jenny McCarthy and the even scarier Tom Cruise (Scientologist) and Jon Travalta (who lost his son) will have an influence over many people, even though they have no medical credentials. [/QUOTE]
