[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t vaccinate my girls for most of the required vaccinations (not including flu or covid, which we don’t vaccinate for either) only a few that we think were/are more necessary.

They’re 5 & 8, perfectly healthy kids. [/quote]

Until they get measles[/quote]

We vaccinate selectively and do include MMR and DTaP.[/quote]

Where’d you get your medical degree?[/quote]

My husband and I are highly educated professionals.. Let parents make their own choices[/quote]

I actually am fine with the PP with the partially vaccinated daughters.  If they got their complete sets of DTaP and MMRV, they pose really no big risk to other children.  The real risk was when they were babies and the parents were refusing to give them PCV and Hib, and that risk was really only to them (the babies).  Google the rates of devastating/ lethal meningitis in babies before and after the widespread use of those vaccines.

It does worry me that the PP didn't think it was important to include IPV, but, whatever, when polio makes a comeback she'll probably rush to get it, because she's selfish, and doesn't actually think the IPV vaccines are dangerous, she's just happy to rely on herd immunity.  She is wise enough to know there isn't herd immunity for tetanus, so at least she gave that one I guess. [/quote]
