You know what gets under my skin? Public smoking. Because of the RSV my child contracted as an infant he gets reactive airway (asthma attacks) with smoke and other irritants, he has been hospitalized for this. But, I understand that it is the choice and right of the smoker to do so, or not, regardless of how it will affect my child. In some times/places it is not welcome, just as when there is an outbreak of certain diseases unvaccinated children are told to stay home from school.
When we lived in SoCal one of our doctors was Dr. Sears, they are located in San Clemente. Inside the Vaccine Book | Ask Dr SearsĀ® | The Trusted Resource for Parents They use this book at their practice. We do need to educate ourselves on these choices, that is exactly my point, this book is a great starting place. Google the Dr Sears family, they are very rational with their suggestions. And as I said before, it is subjective. What one person believes is a valid reason for not choosing certain vaccines, another may think is invalid depending on where they get their information and their experience with the vaccine. I don't think an across the board approach is good for everyone...only for those people who it is good for, and they can do what they will.
The only vaccine I turned down for my daughter was the one for HPV. She was nine at the time. I figured we were pretty safe that she wasn't going to contract a sexually transmitted disease. I really didn't like the scare tactics on that one, nor the fact that it was so new and they wanted to put it in my 9 year old.

We have an outbreak of measles here at the moment. A few weeks ago I saw a video on YouTube, of a baby with whooping cough. All anti vaxxers should watch it.

There's an outbreak here as well. I guess most of the victims are people who had traveled to countries where things like measles are still pretty prevalent. There are a couple of victims who didn't travel out of the country and who do not live with or near the people that were identified as having traveled. That's scary.
Just wait until polio makes a resurgence, people will be beating doors down for vaccinations.

I'm a teacher and I've noticed a trend of children still getting diseases despite being vaccinated even once or twice against it. Measles seems to be a one and the health department keeps scrambling saying the vaccines were a bad batch or it's a new strain of measles but what's really funny is that it's children and adults who have been vaccinated multiple times against it who are getting it. The kids in the class who's parents have chosen not to vaccinate have not gotten any of the diseases.
^^^ that is not consistent with what i've obsereved, either locally through our health dept or through the MMWR (yes, i receive that). most of the people who have been stricken are those who were NOT vaccinated. and some could not be vaccinated (because of their age or other baseline factors) but again, the ones who were not vaccinated had reasons similar to the subject of this thread.
Often, but not always, if one is vaccinated against a disease, and goes on to develop it anyway, the severity of one's illness is significantly lessened. I'd take that over the alternative any day.
If I had kids I would be against them having the MMR but that is only because both my mother and I have a history of reacting badly to vaccinations and medications. My choice would be for individual vaccinations rather than rolling the no-vaccine dice and hoping for the best.
