[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Ignore the ignorant and rabid pro-CDC schedule vaxxers on this list. Both my pediatrician and my GP recommended spreading out of vaccines. I have a background in the biological sciences and a family history of autoimmune disorders. I did extensive research on the various vaccines on the CDC's list, and decided to delay all vaccinations until after age 2 (when myelination is almost complete and there is a more effective blood-brain barrier), with live vaccines delayed until age 4.5. By age 5, our kids were all caught up on vaccines, but we delayed in order to avoid any autoimmune reactions. Kids do sometimes have severe, violent, and life-threatening reactions to vaccines, which is why the federal liability limit for vaccine injury is limited to $100,000. In any case, OP, I would strongly advise you NOT report on vaccines obtained if you are going to use a religious exemption. Why? Because reporting some vaccinations can be the basis for challenging your religious exemption. We simply submitted the exemption. When you do that, no reporting is required because the assumption is that no vaccination is being done. Once our children were up-to-date on their vaccines, we submitted the full record. Hope this helps. [/quote] OP here. Thanks for your response. I appreciate your thoughts on the exemption. Just curious, did you decide not to do any particular vaccines at all? We are not doing Hep A and are waiting on Hep B until teenage years, pediatrician was fully in agreement on that. That's interesting that you waited until 2 to start any. We started at 2 months but spaced them out. [/quote] OP, we skipped rotovirus, HiB, and PCV, after discussion with our ped. The only vaccine we gave at age 2 was DTAP, whose safety record is fairly strong (it's also not a live virus). We then waited until 4.5 to do MMR, Polio, Varicella, Hep A and Hep B, and spaced them as far apart as possible. As I stated previously, we waited until 2 to make sure that the blood-brain barrier was largely established. Among some doctors who have not bought or brainwashed by the pharma/medical industry, there are concerns about vaccines grown in cell substrate derived from animals or fetal bovine serum. Animal tissue have been identified to carry prions, an infections agent about which we know very little. However, there is consensus that prions cause Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease -- otherwise known as mad cow disease. While the medical industry claims that it's not possible for prions to replicate in cell cultures, only in mammalian brains, it's possible for prions to be introduced into the bloodstream through inoculation into muscle and skin tissue. What little we know suggests that prions primarily cause illnesses affected the brain and nervous system. The blood-brain barrier created through myelination is very effective in preventing most toxins and foreign substances out of the nervous system, including (it's theorized) prions, which is why we waited until it was largely established. One theory is that it's possible that vaccines are not fully "purified" of prions and that when introduced to into the bodies of some sensitive children before the blood-brain barrier is established, they can cause neurological and immune reactions whose symptoms may be delayed, making it more difficult to tie them to a specific vaccine. In cows, symptoms of CJD can appear 2-8 years AFTER infection. Many of the viruses used in vaccines are grown on cell substrate, using animal cells (eurkaryotic cells). My caution around vaccine arises from my knowledge that the medical community is incredibly arrogant and frequently assumes certainty when there is none. It is also punishes any members of its profession that dares to present evidence that's not current orthodoxy. Remember when the first medical scientists suggested that heart disease could be caused or exacerbated by inflammation caused by poor oral hygiene? They were laughed at initially, but it's become increasingly clear that there is a link between low-level inflammation and heart disease. There are also fewer safeguards given the FDA has lost almost all independent ability to verify food and drug safety, most often relying on data provided by drug manufacturers themselves. That's why so many drugs that are introduced into the market are then recalled because they're shown to have major side effects, like death. The CDC is also struggling for funding and has been greatly weakened in the last 20 years. Here's an excerpt from an article on prions. The full article can be read here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3342938/ Usefulness of PrPC-Deficient in Production of Biologicals Biologicals are accounting for an ever increasing fraction of all therapeutics—[b]yet all eukaryotically produced biologicals bear a certain risk of prion contamination, even when generated in cell lines. [/b]. The transmission of vCJD through blood and even purified blood products has dramatically highlighted the seriousness of this threat. Therefore, PrPC-deficient farm animals (cattle and goats) are well positioned for the production of prion-free therapeutics and will therefore make an important contribution towards eliminating the risk of prions contamination in biologicals.
