Wanting to pull DS from pre school due to germs.

Some people are just sickly and your kid is one of them.

Vaccines don't cause illness, maybe your kid would feel cruddy for half a day, but stop spreading non-science. Your kid probably caught something at the office, not from the shot.

Well my pediatrician agreed that the flu shots had ZERO benefits and the risk outweighed the benefit--so I will trust them over some random person on this site. I also am skeptical about trusting a product where the manufactured has ZERO liability if something does go wrong. By the way, NO safety studies were done on any vaccines in over 30 years--why bother if you are liability free. I am not spreading non-science as the TRUE science in non existent. I sadly learned the hard way-not willing to injure my child for someone else's profit.

No pediatrician ever said that. If they did, please give us the name, I can check up on them.

My husband is an internist, I am a research scientist, and we KNOW that vaccines are necessary for a healthy population. Please stop spreading lies, PP.

+1 I'm the original PP that said vaccines don't cause illness. I have a PhD in public health. If your pediatrician said that, get a new one, because he/she does not follow science. There is literally an office at the CDC that funds and conducts vaccine safety studies. Stop believing what Jenny McCarthy tells you. Vaccines save lives.

Oh dear god, I thought we got rid of the anti-vaxxers!

Yes, OP. It's called preschool. It's better to let your kid get sick now than not expose them to it. Our neighbor's kids did not attend preschool at all, and spent most of kindergarten (public school) out sick. They missed a lot of days because they were not exposed to these germs earlier.

The germs do not go away.

Dp. My pediatrician is also ok with us opting out of flu vax.

OK with opting out =/= "the flu shots had ZERO benefits"

It’s either in the daycare preschool years that you have the year (or two) of constant illness or Kindergarten. Mine was in daycare at 6 months and the whole family got sick once of month for two weeks from September to March. The next year wasn’t as bad. When she went to kindergarten, the kids who had been at home for 5 years were decimated by illness. It sucks, but anyone with kids has been through it.

I think it’s more the age. When I complained to my obgyn about how can ds 2.5 be sick so much when he has a nanny she said it doesn’t matter, at that age, they are little Petri dishes. We just had a bad virus burn through, it was awful. Not sleeping for days running from kid to kid. Baby wheezing so hard to hear. Neither parent sleeping. It’s a miracle we didn’t get divorced.

Teach him to wash his hands all day. You are beyond stupid. I guess you plan to home school him through college.

Please tell us who your antivaxxer ped is so that the normal people can avoid their incompetence. Thanks!

No ped said that. PP is full of sh!t and is repeating what she wanted to hear because that’s what her mommy blogs say.

We started daycare at 6 months, in the spring, and by the winter (10 months) he was sick every single month for about a year. And one parent always caught it too. But it got so much better after that. Now at age 4 we get sick a few times a year, and yes they do spread through the house, but it's not the constant illness that we had the first year.

Yes. Of course. If he said that, there's no way I'd trust my child to his care.

My kids ALWAYS got sick after every well child visit and every flu shot vaccination visit.

I don't think it had to do with the vaccinations though, just touching things in the doctor's office and waiting room. I tried really hard to keep their hands off of things but there's only so much you can do.

Make absolutely sure that your child washes his hands and face as soon as he gets home, and leaves shoes at the front door. Thats a rule for everyone in my house and the nanny knows it too. Also, get some elderberry syrup.

Sure OP! I say do it. You can do it for any reason, any reason at all. It's called a preference. It's preschool. It's optional. He doesn't need to be there. Only question, which you haven't addressed, is what do you do for childcare instead?

[Anonymous]

It is horrible but gets better. You will just deal with it at another time if you pull him out now
