177. No I am not, and this is just the typical thing- lumping not approving of gmo's in

with vaccine questioning.

The simplistic thinking on this board is embarrassing.

There are plenty of scientific problems with gmo's. Ask a real scientist- not a paid off one. There are plenty of us.

Same thing with vaccines. What about the dose and the timing of them? Are the current recommendations best? I am not talking about not getting them, just when and at what dosage.

It used to be when the preservative was in them that the nurse would give the amount of vaccine appropriate to the weight of the child. Once it became single dose, it is the whole vial, without the accommodating of the actual weights. Isn't this a reasonable thing to discuss with the nurse or doctor? Oh but bring it up here, and the whole noisy rude crowd goes ballistic. And what about the one vaccine at a time people. What in the world is wrong with that idea? Plenty of doctors and nurses think that is fine, as long as the child is not in a child care facility. But people on DU go nuts about this as well.

There is a family who will not come out to my farm because they do not give their children even tetanus shots. I was really mystified and worried about them. I found out that when one of the parents was a babe he had a severe reaction to a vaccine- leaving him brain damaged (hospitalized for over a year). How can I blame them for being worried about vaccines? I have only had sore muscles and sore rumps from the old gamma globulin shots we used to get in the Peace Corps. I have never experienced any of these terrible reactions. I am vaccinated for life against all sorts of tropical diseases. Lucky me. But some people are not so robust. Who am I to be so critical and judgmental?

And all of you spouting off so rudely, think about it. Screaming at people and calling them names does not open up their minds to doing the thing that they should do, getting their kids vaccinated. Fear is not soothed by screaming and name calling. Actual questions need to be answered. If spacing the shots out over time will get a parent who has had a bad experience in their family to go forward with vaccinating their children, then by all means encourage it. Encourage people, stop the negative accusations and belittlement. You all come off sounding very very ignorant and NOT LIBERAL at all.
