You don't understand why I don't vaccinate......

I don't often post more than once in a week, but there has been something that continues to show up and I haven't been able to get some thoughts off my mind. So when I can't get something out of my mind, I write it down.........

You don't understand why I don't vaccinate. Frankly, I don't understand why you do.

You don't know the hours, books and study I have committed to this topic over the last 7 years. Researching to have a better understanding of what they are and where I want their place to be in my life. I don't know what you have committed to this topic either. I can only hope that you have.

You don't know the promptings, impressions, and strokes of light that I have had come to me concerning this. I don't know what has been given to you.

You don't know the earnest prayers and seekings that have been uttered from my mouth in honest search for truth. I don't know what time you have spent in these same pleadings.

There has been a lot of things being stirred up in the vaccinate/don't vaccinate world due to the controversy over the measles outbreak that happened in Disneyland. There is a lot of blame and discontent over who is to blame for this.  I understand the passion that people on both sides of the spectrum have concerning an issue like this. I've been there, and I am still very passionate about my feelings. But that is what it is  - MY
feelings. These aren't things that are to be pushed on others and even to be used for blame and hatred. Don't we have enough wrong with society as it is already? Can't we unite together as parents, supporting each other in doing what we each feel is best for OUR families?

There aren't any guarantees in life, or with vaccinations. Truth be told; there is a lot of risk involved no matter which way you face. We all view things differently, down to what football team is the best and why. We each choose for ourselves what risks we are willing to take for our families and follow course. For every documentation and news article you show me about how bad I am for not vaccinating, I can show you at least the same amount as to why I don't think it a good idea to vaccinate. There is a LOT of information out there, showing why to or why not to.


Unfortunately, the media is pretty one sided about this and doesn't share with you damage that has taken place by vaccines, (look up VAERS) or that the vaccinated, FULLY VACCINATED, people are contracting the diseases they are supposed to be protected against - and NOT by getting it from someone who is not vaccianted. The CDC is is pretty clear about vaccines not being tested for efficacy and immunity. They bluntly state that the vaccines are not guaranteed to protect against the disease. Also written pretty clear on the package insert. (ask your doctor for one or look on the CDC's website)

Why are breakouts happening in primarily vaccinated populations? When was the last major breakout in an Amish society?

Why are vaccinated afraid of the un-vaccinated? If it works, it shouldn't matter to you if un-vaccinated people get diseases because you are protected.... right? (I can understand the concern of someone who wants to vaccinate yet due to health issues doesn't have the liberty to vaccinate their child. This is a different topic for a different time)

Why is it that only diseases that are vaccinated against are the ones that have a breakout? Cholera, Spanish flu, Scarlet fever.... etc. why aren't these breaking out? How did they get eradicated in the first place if it takes vaccines to do it?

I read this post today from a Cardiologist in Arizona. Even for me, it was a bit harsh, but he was direct and very accurate in his point. http://vaccineimpact.com/2015/arizona-cardiologist-responds-to-critics-regarding-measles-and-vaccines/

MY point with this post

 I am tired of the blame game. We are in a free country, with the same rights from God. WE EACH GET TO CHOOSE. If something happens in your family that you don't like, don't blame me and I won't blame you for the same situation. My family is mine and I get to choose what is best for them. I ask for your support as a parent. I SUPPORT YOU in making choices as a parent for your family. It's not an easy task! There is a lot that goes into it, and I am not going to judge you for doing things differently than me, so please don't pass that judgment here.
