Ugh, this makes my stomach hurt.

MAP and I decided to go with a regular vaccine schedule for baby bear with the good faith of his pediatrician. Because we are traveling a lot, and out of the country next month, I felt it was important for Wry to start everything as “normally” suggested by the APA. But every time he has gotten vaccinations, my nerves are on high & I worry tremendously.

What have all of you amazing Mommies and Daddies decided when it comes to vaccines?

Vaccinate. Because Wakefield was full of shit. He was arrested and lost his medical license after admitting he falsified all his data.

VACCINATE VACCINATE VACCINATE

Vaccination is not just about you or your child, it is about the population as a whole. It only works when it’s undertaken by as many people as possible. When it’s not undertaken properly, what you end up with is stronger mutant strains of diseases that aren’t covered by the immunisation- for example, I had the MMR jab, yet because so any people in my area didn’t a strain of Super Mumps emerged, which I got, and lost part of my hearing. Thanks to other people’s selfishness, and Wakefield’s anti-autism bullshit.

And really, if you’re debating whether or not to immunise your child against diseases that kill horribly and painfully because they might get autism (AGAIN, LET ME REITERATE: THEY WILL NOT) ask yourself why you’d rather have a dead child than an Autistic one?

Edited to make clear this is entirely a reblog, no commentary is mine though I agree with it all.

WORD. All of this, really, but that question in particular.
