They will. They just make it out too look manditory.

I, personally, don't want some kid who didn't get the .T.B vaccine sitting next to my child. Sorry.

Sarah

If your child is vaccinated then why do you care?

And i'm sorry but I think a chance of death is a good reason not to vaccinate. Chuy has vaccines but I don't bash people for not getting them. My nephews had severe respiratory effects from them.... But I guess they should have continued to get them too, huh? Then none of you would have to worry about someone who didn't have the tb shot sitting next to your vaccinated child. dead children don't sit in class. But better dead than unvaccinated, right?

Are you worried about it because you think the vaccines don't work? If that's the case then why get them?

I dunno, I guess I just have a soft heart. I have a pretty wild imagination and I can just see my little .Alyvia with her blonde pigtails sitting in a half-empty classroom doing her schoolwork while the other half is home ill

.I mean, yeah my daughter will probably be safe, woohoo. But I feel bad for the other little ones I guess which isn't my place, I know, and .I'm not knocking their parents. But still, it's what I think about. And it's why I care. I shouldn't, right? *sigh*

You're right, .K.
But .Oni had her .Flu shots and still got .R.S.V....Sooooo...I mean, even though she got the shot, doesn't mean she can't get horribly sick.

Sarah

No, it isn't the same. Instead of getting the flu out of that initial "cold", she got .R.S.V....

Sarah

Forgive me guys. I get really pissy about this. I'm just not even going to look at this post again because it's pissing me off. Vaccinate or don't. Whatever, it's an individual choice. If your child is vaccinated that should be good enough in your eyes. You've done your duty and protected your children.

Some shot the benfits outweigh the risks but the chicken pox vaccine isnt guranteed, I have an honest dr who literally tell what is good or not good.

There were no studies done on chicken pox vaccine that guranteed you would not get it after 18 which can be more fatal, better off getting the wild virus.

As for meningitis, measles etc I feel that they are necessary cause they can be fatal.

No vaccine is guaranteed. Actually, there isnt even solid proof that vaccines are effective. To me, the risk is all in vaccinating.

And to people that are saying you want to prevent your child from getting these diseases, well please enlighten me, where in the hell is your child going to catch polio?

And like someone said, if you so strongly believe in these vaccs and your child is vaccianted then why are you concerened with certain children not being vacccinated?

But im with kay, this is pissing me off and I dont even want to look at it anymore.

I care because I care. I explained that a couple of posts ago. But like .Sarah, .I'm done. I didn't want to argue, and my feelings are extremely hurt that my words were taken out of context. There was never any need to get defensive towards me, because I don't blame other parents for their choices on this.

Yeah. I'm done.

Well I cant do anything for my step daughter. They let her live in a dump with cat poop and trash piled up the walls. They dont feed her meals. Make her put something in the micowave to eat. She is about to turn 12 and wears the same size as my 7 year old. So I dont think they would listen if I said anything about shots. Plus I been told its not my business. Ok sorry for running my mouth

I think this entire thread was taken too personally.

The facts are the facts, people choose to parent their children the best way they know how. Everyone has a different way of parenting their children. We all do it a little differently.

If I choose to vaccinate my children, that doesn't mean I am against you making a choice to not vaccinate your children. I actually have a lot of understanding about vaccines and why people choose not to do it. Either way, parenting is a personal choice.

Get thickers skins. This is only the begining of a very long and very trying parenting journey. Just wait until these babies are teenagers and they are having babies.

The real fun has only just begun.
