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]

Highly educated professional whats?[/quote]

Husband is a personal injury attorney, and I work in investing banking.[/quote]

You’re not necessarily highly educated.  Your husband was trained in a particular field and you learned about investing money.     What makes you think your backgrounds allow you to make better decisions than your doctors?    [/quote]

We don’t need medical background to make decisions on whether or not both we or are kids are vaccinated.[/quote]

You don’t but don’t claim how highly educated you are when in fact your education is irrelevant.   It’d be more useful to write about what journals and articles you’ve read and what information made you choose to take a risk.   Nobody seems to do that.   [/quote]

We aren’t ignorant people who don’t believe in vaccines. We just prioritize vaccines that we think are important to us. I’m now thinking about whether or not to get them the HPV vaccine, and we already planned on them receiving the Meng Vaccine.[/quote]

Why would you get them the HPV? They won’t need it, will they?

Why get them meningitis? Why is that one ok?[/quote]

We just try to limit processed, unnatural, & inorganic things going into our children’s bodies, the best we can. That doesn’t mean we avoid every vaccine, (we do for ourselves, but not for our kids).[/quote]

Great. Then why get meng or hpv?[/quote]

Because we want to protect our kids.[/quote]

Weird those are the ones you'd pick to get though- lots of concerns with the meninigitis vax in particular and you can avoid if you don't stuff them in an overcrowded college dorm.[/quote]

I personally knew a kid who died of meningitis in high school. Middle class family, living in a nice house in the suburbs. No overcrowding. The virus took only hours. Parents went to sleep with a kid who had an ordinary fever. The fever spiked during the night, and they didn’t know. By the time they woke up it was too late.

I am here to say that you cannot necessarily “avoid” meningitis as easily you suggest. [/quote]
