I used to wholeheartedly believe in the vaccine program...I really did.
I had a very good friend, years ago, way before I met my husband, who started informing me about the hazards of vaccination. I listened carefully, but since I was still single and didn't know anything, really, about this whole issue, I chalked it away for future reference. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think the words/information she had shared with me, would come back to haunt me. In fact, I even criticized this friend of mine, to another mutual friend of ours, about the fact that this friend would not vaccinate her second son (her first son had been fully vaccinated by age 5, but he was also experiencing learning disorder issues). Her second son, not vaccinated at all, is considered a genius, with an IQ of 165...
ANYWAY...then I met Jeff, my husband, and the rest, as they say, is history. We had our beautiful little boy, dutifully vaccinated him on schedule, with few questions asked. OMG...what a mistake this has turned out to be.
I will ALWAYS live with the guilt that I should have researched the issue PRIOR to vaccinating our beautiful young son. If I had done my research, I would have known that our families on both sides, had severe allergy issues and several children had learning disorder issues. I mean, truthfully, we researched where we should take our car for tune-ups with more diligence, than we did THIS. That's because we have all been conditioned to fully accept and believe that the so-called medical authorities KNOW BEST...that they know better than we do what's best for us and our children.
Well, turns out...they don't. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would ever be one of those that 'don't trust our government,' or 'don't trust our medical authorities.' But when I say I do my research, I MEAN IT. I research thoroughly. I interview people, I email them...I read and read and read everything I can get my hands on. I am a voracious reader and can speed-read with the best of them. To my dismay, what I have uncovered through my research made me weep. I honestly thought that I would uncover the fact that our government was telling us the truth about this issue and that the other horror stories I would hear from parents was simply parents who had become paranoid with no reasonable justification.
I WAS SO WRONG. Story upon story upon story from parents whose children were suffering horribly after having been vaccinated. And guess what -- many of these children suffered the same side effects as our son did to the whole cell DPT vaccine.
Moms and Dads who have children in our school district will come up to me after I have spoken to our School Board re: this issue and will tell me how LUCKY we are that Ryan is not as damaged as their children.
Well, let me tell you. It isn't luck, my friends. We QUIT vaccinating our son at the age of six months because we KNEW that something was horribly wrong with him after each round of shots. We KNEW in our hearts that the vaccines were damaging our beautiful little boy...an infant who scored 9/10 on the Apgar scale after birth.
So, after countless interviews with physicians, researchers, scientists, teachers, school board members, friends, parents, etc., we find ourselves doing the complete 180 on this issue.
But that's our story. Don't take our word for it. Do your own research and arrive at your own conclusions. But you just cannot trust what the CDC and other government entities will try to tell you. I can't stress this enough. DIG DEEP...keep an open, objective mind as you perform your own research.
I did. And I'm glad I did. Ryan still has his LD issues and will be attending a private high school next Fall for LD students. It's his only shot at receiving a high school diploma. We have just found out our school district has been fake grading our son all these years. They had him making the Honor Roll, even though he has reading comprehension issues. They have NEVER done for him through the IDEA 2004/NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT what they should have done for him. He has never been given a laptop for his dysgraphia...oh gosh, the list just goes on and on as to what they've NOT done for him.
We are now working with other LD parents in this district to file a huge Non-Compliance Complaint with the California Department of Education re: this issue. It's been a living nightmare.
EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE. You might find a few surprises there...enough said.
