I'm so confused regarding vaccinations. I grew up with all my vaccinations along with everyone else I knew and was quite healthy, but now I hear all this terrifying information regarding vaccinations and it's giving me a panic attack regarding my baby. I have decided to wait until 18 months to get my son his MMR vaccination and to also have them separated rather than all at once. My current concern is regarding his 2-month vaccination which will be in 2 weeks. Should I also have these separated or is it okay to have them all at once. Any and all advice will be appreicated to help me come to a decision on this.

What can I do next?

Dear L.,
Greetings!!!

I know that parenting is tough as there are many decisions to make in regards to how to raise your children. And it can be very scary and difficult to make many choices due to all of the conflicting information out there. My husband and I decided not to vaccinate our dazzling son Dylan who is now a little over 6 months old because we've seen too many children who had received their vaccinations and had adverse reactions that caused permanent and irreversible damage. Not to mention all the new links between autism and vaccinations.

I highly recommend the website: http://thinktwice.com/, and I also suggest reading The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination Is Not Immunization (12th Edition) by Tim O’Shea. It has some very eye opening information about vaccinations. I truly feel every parent should read this book before deciding whether to vaccinate your child or not.

Hope this help, L.!

AND...KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRULY AN AMAZING MAMA FOR RESEARCHING THE TRUE DATA ABOUT VACCINES.

With love,
L. (Mama to 29 week old Dylan Orion) : )))

Every parent is different as is every child. I was only partially vaccinated and glad that my family saw through most of the hype. I've been called names, been told I am a bad parent because after doing my research I am choosing not to vaccinate. I also worked for a doctor who treated babies who became very ill from the vaccines. I have met women in here who have had their children also become ill IMMEDIATELY after a vaccine, develop asperger's, watched their development levels recede and one even went into a coma.
Today on The View they had a few people on their in honor of Earth Day who were touting the benefits of using cleansers that were natural and did not contain formaldehyde, aluminum and mercury and I couldn't help but chuckle because a lot of those people who probably vaccinated their kids. The preservatives in vaccines are the same chemicals that they were so afraid of in their cleansers... why is it ok that we inject it into their bloodstream, but don't put it on the kitchen floor? It's not ok in either case.
Here is what I usually put in vaccine questions. PLEASE read the book I list as a source. He, nor I, are NOT crackpots who are basing our decisions on beliefs. He cites such source as the FDA, AMA and CDC. The trifecta of the American medical system!
I'm so glad that you're questioning this. I do not support vaccination as it does NOT equal Immunization. A child is not immune to an illness unless they have it or the NATURAL immunity is passed on during pregnancy. You're right, there is a great deal of controversy out there about these vaccines. The truth comes down to sheep mentality. The school will tell you that you have to vaccinate your child.. why?? BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR EACH VACCINATED CHILD! Oh ... and so does your doctor! Now does it make sense why they pressure people? Money! Billions of dollars are made off these vaccines.
Also, NONE of them have ever had a longitudinal study done on them. The longest test was 25 DAYS! No test has ever been done on those that are given in a combo shot such as the MMR or the DPT.
Vaccines were all created when the illnesses were on their way out. And most are for illnesses we don't have in our country, not because we are vaccinating, but because we lack the right environment for breeding. Third world countries do, however, contain the right environment for the dieases to flourish. ASK your doctor when the last case of polio that he treated was. Or what about the last case of Hepatitis B in a newborn.
We are now seeing cases of these illnesses pop up and who is to blame? They say it's those who aren't vaccinating, but the viruses are just mutating and finding ways to overcome our vaccines or are returning because what we use as a vaccination is not what the illnesses is... such as Small Pox in which Jenner created it using the Cow Pox illness... they are NOT the same.
So much of vaccines is illogical. Back to the Hep B vaccine... have you ever wondered WHY they give this at birth when the people who get it are illegal drug users and those with multiple sexual partners? I know for certain my baby was not having multiple partners when I wasn't lookin... and he certainly didn't do drugs. And since when did Chicken Pox become Taboo.. I just turned 30 and when I was a child we threw chicken pox parties so we would all catch it and then become naturally immune! Measles, mumps and Pertussis can all be treated with antibiotics and once the child is over it he/she will never get it again! How beautiful is that? How simple?
Small pox is actually given as the COW Pox virus... they are NOTHING alike! So unless you are raising a little cow... don't bother.
HIV/AIDS was created through the mishandling of one of our vaccines. And now they want to create and HIV vaccine and put it on the mandated list for all 12 year olds. What that means is that we will have an overwhelming population of children infected with HIV. Sound good? I didn't think so.
Vaccines are wrapped in Mercury at a level 30x that which an adult should consume in a month.. all in one shot! The AMA and CDC has "suggested" that mercury no longer be used and so now it is called Thimersol.. don't be fooled It's STILL mercury under a different name. And California is supposed to have mercury free vaccines.... if you think that's really happening then you're delusional. The vaccine companies are not going to throw out billions of dollars of product. And they also are wrapped in formaldehyde, which is a KNOWN cancer causing substance. Ever wonder why we have an increased number of children developing cancer/leukemia?
Although you have a son, take a listen to the gardisil commercial the next time it's on. Listen closely to the wording at the end... it can't protect you from all strains... it MAY not provide protection at all. WHY WOULD WE DO THIS THEN??? Why risk it going awry in our children's bodies for no reason?
Here in San Diego there was a small outbreak of measles. Yes, it started by 3 children who were not vaccinated. They were treated with antibiotics and they are fine now. But WHY did between 12-15 children who came in contact with these 3 develop the measles if they were vaccinated and supposedly immune?
Why was the FLU vaccine said to be completely ineffective? The manufacturers admitted that they made it for the wrong strain.
You do NOT have to vaccinate to enroll your child. You can fill out the exemption form. There is a HUGE difference between MANDATING a list of vaccines and making something mandatory. The vaccines are only mandated.
Vaccines increase your child's susceptibility to ear infections, asthma, autism, apsperger's, allergies and other maladies.
I have a great book for you as well... The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is Not Immunization by Tim O'Shea. He also sites his sources so feel free to look them up. I did and I was completely dumbfounded as to how accurate he was.
If you have more questions please ask me. :)

Good for you in researching, for me I pick and choose. I give the ones I got (and your proubably got) as a kid. They are safer now then they were then. My 4th baby did get spinal meningitis, somthing that could have been prevented at only 2 months, and now we will have life long issues to deal with because of it. Please do all of your research on things. If you choose to give your baby the vaccines and a side effect did happen you would feel horrible. How much more horrible would you feel if your baby got somthing that he could have been immunized against. You can totally wait until 4 mos. to give the 2 mos. vaccines. Just let your doctor know that you would like to wait a bit. It buys you some time to do your resarch. Dr. Sears has a great book out, and he lets you know what vaccines he personally choose for his baby, plus when and how spread apart they should be. Do you have any friends or family members that are nurses in an ICU anywhere? Ask them how many kids really come in with the things that you vaccinate against. I asked these questions, and was shocked at how many kids (just like my daughter) that come in for Spinal meningitis and die from complications. The cause of death is not listed under spinal meningitis, its listed as one of the complications ie: heart failure, septic shock, kidney failure etc. There are pros and cons to everything we do. When driving you could get in a car accident. Do you get scared and never drive again? No you do your resarch on carseats and get the best one for your son, you get the safest car and put your son in the middle. You don't plan on an accident, and you don't stop driving, you just keep your son as safe as you can knowing you did all you can to prevent something. Good Luck.

yes when you read about vaccines it is pretty scary. but the chances of your child having a reaction is small. my daughter got all her vaccines and never had a reaction to any of them. but it is ultimatley your choice on what you do.

I think you are doing the right thing by separating them out. I'm waiting till my little girl is 1 year before giving her any and will not be doing all that are recommended by the CDC. I'll give her the ones that are time tested... the ones we had when we were kids - without the mercury preservative. Just too much concern about autism linked to the current schedule and increase # of vaccinations even from just 10 years ago. You have to do what you feel is right.
