in the last few days a few articles have jumped up at me about vaccines, and i wanted to share them, in case you're interested. they both kind of support my opinion that vaccines are more helpful than harmful and that a world without them would be a problem....and that scare tactics are used to dissuade people from using them (often without any adequate facts).
by the way....i think parents should be aware of everything their child is exposed to and receives- i think it's good parenting to do research and determine what measures are good for your kids. and i don't think parents should take everything on blind faith- always ask questions, always ask for data and proof. i'm providing the proof that i have. and the perspective of modern medicine. there's a whole lot more to discuss on the topic of immunizations, but i'm bored w/ it (as i'm sure you are), so this is the last i'm going to mention it.
and both articles are from the NY Times- so my big time apologies if to get to the links you have to sign up for a free NY Times account or something. i don't think you should have to, but maybe...
article one is from 2005 when a group of non-immunized Amish children in minnesota were somehow exposed to the polio virus...and how scary it was when it got loose in their community. Amish, Polio Scare.
article two is talking about the new ABC show, "Eli Stone" and how its first episode (out January 31st) depicts the show's hero defending a family whose child was exposed to thimerosal and developed autism...and how ultimately the big bad vaccine-making drug company was brought to its knees when shown as the villains that they actually are. "Eli Stone."
