[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]

I’m really happy your kids are perfectly healthy, and I sincerely hope they remain that way.  Do you realize that one of the factors that has probably contributed to their health is herd immunity, and that it’s breaking down?

A vaccine won’t make a difference to a child who is never exposed to the disease it was designed to prevent.  Because the vast majority of people are vaccinated with highly effective vaccines, your kids have basically been encircled by a fence creating a wide buffer zone making it unlikely that their immune system would ever be confronted with the disease.

However, each person who isn’t vaccinated creates a hole in that fence and reduces the safety zone around your children (just as their lack of vaccination does to others).  There won’t be a problem, unless the disease is able to exploit one of those holes so that the chain of exposed patients pierces that safety zone.  Should that happen, your kids immune systems will have to fight off that disease without the preparation a vaccine could have provided them.

Here are some short videos from an ER pediatrician about vaccines:

Thanks for your concern but we know what we’re doing. My husband grew up the same way we’re raising our kids and rarely ever got sick. They’ll be okay.[/quote]

Maybe they will, maybe they won't.  This is the same complete lack of logic people use when they say [b]"we didn't wear helmets and are fine" or "we never wore seat belts and are fine".[/b]

You and your husband are complete morons, and very obviously not "highly" educated, if at all.[/quote]

Or, I didn't get pregnant the first time.[/quote]
