[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do vaccinate against polio too. [/quote]

Which vaccines are you avoiding? [/quote]

MMR, DTaP, Polio, & PCV are vaccines we do prioritize.
We avoid Hep A, Hep B, Varicella, Influenza, Covid, & Hib.[/quote]

Will you get them HPV when they are older?
[/quote]

No.[/quote]

That's a shame.  A good friend of mine died in her early 30s of cervical cancer brought on by HPV (the vaccine didn't come out until I was in my mid 20s).  If she'd had access to the vaccine she'd still be alive. Even if your kids choose to get it after they turn 18, the majority of girls are sexually active before turning 18, so it would likely be too late to help her.[/quote]

Sorry for your loss.

Our kids won’t be dating until college, and even then only will be dating to marry, so I don’t think they’ll need the HPV vaccine but if when they’re 18, they choose to get vaccinated, we’ll support their decision.[/quote]

Now you’re taking the piss. And of course the super parent of teens has never had any, if you’re anything other than a troll. Stop applying moral values to a medical procedure. You don’t know anything about how people will live their lives, so you’re going to expose your kids to the kind of miserable death that PP’s friend had. [/quote]

How common is it for people to have severe injury or death due to these diseases that these vaccines prevent?

You don’t see or hear about it as much as this thread is making it out be.[/quote]

Ok now I know you're a troll.  Because everyone knows it is incredibly uncommon to suffer death or disability from measles, polio, rubella, etc since the general population is highly vaccinated. Without vaccines, those diseases used to be so common!  [/quote]

Yeah but there isn’t a high probability that they’ll contract these diseases.

I’m 33 and [b]haven’t received a vaccine since I was 16[/b] and my husband is 37, and has basically been unvaccinated his whole life and all his siblings are also unvaccinated, no one has been sick. We’ll all be okay.[/quote]
By 16 you would have received the full schedule of childhood vaccines.

The problem with people like you isn't just that you don't vaccinate and erode herd immunity, it's that you are really misinformed and refuse to educate yourself. Saying your kids are healthy doesn't mean anything. Before the polio vaccine, most people didn't get polio either. You are putting your kids and the community at known increased risk for certain infectious diseases as a tradeoff for mitigating risks that haven't been well-established. At least own what you are doing instead of spouting nonsense.[/quote]
