When I took my daughter in for her final round of vaccinations, the pediatrician was too lazy to give her just what she needed, so she gave her another two rounds of multiple (quad) vaccinations. Consequently, my daughter ended up getting four times the normal lifetime dosage of two vaccines (measles and one other I can't remember - it was eight years ago) and immediately went into monoclonal seizures. She's been suffering from seizures ever since, though it finally looks as if she's begining to overcome them.
Despite my experience, I still think you should vaccinate. But take the following precautions:
1. Insist that the vaccinations be thymerisol- and mercury-free. Vaccinations have been manufactured without these toxins as preservatives for some years now, but a lot of the old stuff remains. Doctors will try to push the old stuff just to get rid of it, so don't stand for it. (I know one doctor who even claimed that the vaccinations he was using were mislabeled and didn't actually contain the tymerisol or mercury identified right there on the labels.) Because of the unnecessarily high dosages my daughter endured, her mercury intake was more than twice as much during the first two years of her life than she will be expected to injest for the remainder of her life.
2. Insist that vaccinations be split up when necessary in order to avoid overdosing on any one vaccine. This stuff isn't cough syrup, and more is definitely not better. Vaccines are harmful, diseased toxins that you shouldn't take any more than you have to. Doctors get paid $100 by the federal government for every vaccine delivered (and a quad cocktail gets them $400), so some unscrupulous doctors will intentionally overdose your children just for the extra money. Keep track of what your child needs, and don't let them do to your child what they did to mine for the sake of a boat payment.
3. Don't vaccinate for chicken pox. Vaccinations address and enhance only one aspect of immunity. Consequently, vaccinations never work as well in enhancing the immune system as actually getting the disease the vaccinations are intended to prevent. So diseases like chicken pox, which are relatively mild for children to endure, work better than the corresponding vaccine at building up the immune system. Some people even apply this philosophy to whooping cough and other diseases that aren't likely to cause permanent harm, but that's your choice.
I wish I had known better than to trust my doctor before I began vaccinating my daughter. I still would have vaccinated, but I would have at least not allowed the overdoses and useless, harmful chemicals. Though I believe in the use of vaccinations, I now believe that the manufacturing system and delivery system we have in place here in the US is tragically flawed. But a well-informed parent should do just fine.
