I have started believing it after I met two moms who claimed their kids were developing “normally” and then in one of them there was a very drastic change (the other one may have just received diagnosis but this one... the change was huge!)
I know I know. But I do believe some vaccines may harm some people.
I am not an anti-vaxxer and I believe this too. I would not want my kids to be unvaccinated though. I am always current on all vaccinations and I also follow the CDC recommendation for travel vaccines. I was very careful when my kids were vaccinated as babies because of the horrifying accounts of parents whose kids had an adverse reaction. Why take a chance? I am basically an anxious person if I do not have a strategy in place.
I never allowed them to be vaccinated with multiple vaccines on the same day. I spaced each vaccine (not the combo ones of course) 7-10 days apart and watched my kids very carefully in the interim. I also gave them infant tylenol before the vaccine so that they were able to withstand the pain. I never allowed the flu-mist to be administered to my kids either because it contains weakened virus instead of dead virus. I made sure that my kids were healthy, well hydrated, well-fed, had taken any vitamins and probiotics before they got vaccinated. My thinking was that healthy bodies could fight any ill-effects of the vaccines. I also nursed them till they were three years old because I was convinced that nursing them would help them fight ill-effects of the vaccines.
I took all these steps because I was scared about the vaccines but even more scared to not get them vaccinated.
