“dying with allergies”

I hear that. I have been very fortunate in my life. No allergies until the last few years.

They only act up when the wind blows. Problem is...the darn wind blows every other day this time of year. :)

“First of all, there are always doctors on the fringe. “

Both of those Docs quoted had extensive experience with actually treating patients. One was a pediatrician, the other a family med doctor.

Just about 70% of the white, college-educated, homeschooling mothers I know ...
think vaccines, GMOs and pasteurized milk

are government plots to kill them.

And just maybe they know something you don't

I really love it when I get notice that a certain student is not to be admitted to class because they lack certain vaccinations. These notices almost always come in the middle of the school year or even near the end—when everyone has been good and exposed to whatever pathogens little Bok Choy, Mohammed, or Bsddlekdlse brought from THEIR country.

Yep. I knew a fellow and his then-fiancee in North Texas. She tested positive for TB. She had been working as a teacher’s aide in an elementary school where a HIGH percentage of the children were Mexican illegals. She had to be on the prescribed drug regime for the recommended six months. Also in the DFW area, there are sporadic news stories about infants and young children with south of the border sounding surnames contracting third world diseases, spreading them to their unsuspecting classmates. Little wonder when Texas has a third world cesspool filled with disease-riddled cockroaches sitting on our backdoor. The idiots in charge leave it open, allowing them to scurry in and infect our citizens. Where is my can of Raid when I need it?

“Parents in consultation with a pediatrician they trust can decide which vaccines to give, and when. “

I don’t know how old your kids are, but most all of the pediatricians I’ve heard of around here insist on using the full gov’t recommended schedule. Some of them refuse to treat your kids if you won’t go with the full schedule. Yes, I’ve personally witnessed this.

Your comment, “Any decent doctor makes his or her own decision based on best medical judgment, not on some government say-so” is not what I have seen in my experience and the experience of friends and relatives. Most just go with the recommended schedule and aren’t very receptive to people trying to modify it.

I don’t know about the 70% figure but I do know that there are a lot of white people who think that way. Stupid. :(

People are “stupid” if they question the necessity of loading their babies and children up with shots? Pretty soon every city government will sound a siren and we can all line up to get the shot that will protect us.

You are so right about daycare. My sister-in-law put both her kids in daycare at 6 weeks, they were always sick. I just couldn't leave my kids and stayed home. Not judging, just saying it's a fact.

Also, my parents generation went through seeing people die of many diseases we don't even think about and be permanently disabled by things like Polio. They jumped at the chance to get their kids vaccinated. To many parents today think the childhood diseases of old disappeared ; no, we handled them with vaccines. So Jim Carey who's so into gun control and calls you a murderer if you own a gun will probably be responsible for more deaths with his anti vaccine campaign then all gun owners put together.

More than likely, they're just hopeless idiots.

I’ll tell you why Autism is at an all time high.

Too many liberal parents who don’t want to whoop little Timmy/ Tiffanys BUTT. They think something “must” be wrong with the child, since I the parent can’t reason with them.

Autism is at an all time high also because of drug companies, AND Doctors.

THAT’S why.

Here are a few quotes from Drs about vaccinations.

Did either of these two have an opinion about aliens and crop circles?

Many have claimed a causative relationship between vaccines and SID's, but we've yet to see a correlation backed by legitimate science. SID's has been with us for a long time....a long time before vaccines. Doctors have opinions. If that opinion happens to comport with your preconceived notions, then the MD's word is gospel. If it contradicts your belief system, then they are quacks. These doctors are, at the least, irresponsible.

Banning DDT has been responsible for more deaths world-wide than Stalin and Mao combined. But our modern progressives would consider that ‘handling the over-population’ problem. Murder Inc isa democrip empowerment scheme.

Officials said it's been at least 20 years or more since someone died of the disease.

That outbreak was due to illegals from Haiti. I had a coworker who's grandchild in Miami had to be hospitalized with it. A nurse at the hospital told them Haitian immigrants brought it into the country. Our government will not tell us the truth about the harm illegals do to our country.

Indeed ... there is a national advertising campaign trying to educate parents that they need to be vaccinated against these diseases lest they pass them along to their susceptible children.

I was surprised that a TB test is no longer a requirement for a food handler. When did that start and why didn’t I get the memo?

Considering who is doing the lion’s share of food handling in this country, that tidbit of information is quite disturbing.

I’m a childless adult with very little contact with children and still went out of my way to get the adult version of the booster a few years ago. Why? Because *I* don’t want to get sick from some damn illegal!
