I read these types of stories a lot. I know everyone says it is just a coincidence. And certainly, that MAY be true. But after the 100th time you've seen this story, it does make you wonder if there isn't some safety issue we are overlooking.

This is my journey….

I can’t say I believed in vaccination. I knew nothing about it, but had it done anyway. It’s what you do, right? You do what doctors and baby health clinics tell you and what your parents and the media advise you to do. Well I did it, without so much as a question or thought into it. Within moments of my son receiving his immunisations he was screaming. This continued for most of the day and when he wasn’t screaming he was crying. This was unusual as he was a very happy, placid baby, who was already rolling over at 8 weeks and gooing and gahing at the first sight of his mother. The doctor told me his reactions were ’normal’ and he’d be OK in a couple of days.

After the first day he had almost recovered with only some irritability and restlessness noticeable. As the weeks passed he continued to reach milestones and all appeared Ok.

At 4 months of age I dutifully took him for his next round of vaccinations. This time he screamed louder and I could not console him at all. I would breastfeed him, only to have him projectile vomit it back up and still the screaming continued. He had never before vomited at all, ever. After he had vomited 2 feeds I called the doctor and told her what was happening and she said to stop breastfeeding and give him juice only. He kept some of it down but still vomited often.

The next day I called the doctor and told her I think the vaccines have done this and she told me ’ no, it’s just a coincidence’ but to bring him back in, which I did. She referred me to a specialist. While waiting for the specialist appointment in a few days, my baby boy started doing strange things. He started arching his back and crying out in pain. He was as stiff as a board. His eyes would roll into the back of his head. He didn’t have a temperature. He had also started shuddering but he wasn’t cold. (I later learnt from the doctor these were convulsions and seizures). The vomiting continued and I was convinced to give up breastfeeding by the clinic sister. He vomited up the formula also. I was getting very scared.

We went to the specialist appointment and he took some blood for tests and then we had to wait. His symptoms continued and after several days word came from the specialist that the tests showed he was allergic to wheat. I stopped giving him the cereal I had started him on weeks before, but none of the symptoms went away. (when I thought about it later, it was actually rice cereal anyway)

I decided to move to a large city to get more help. Once I saw a doctor there he was immediately admitted to hospital for a battery of test – many of which were conducted under anaesthetic, which of course required my signature to say I have been notified that my baby could die while under. I had not been advised of this, but I signed it not knowing all the medical jargon as I needed to get my baby well again and trusted they knew what they were doing.

By this time my dear little son had lost a lot of weight and nothing I was doing (under advice from doctors and baby health clinics) was working.

After months of tests in the hospital (he stayed there) we were summoned in to an office to be told that they ’didn’t know why my baby was deteriorating, but they estimate he will pass away within a couple of months’.

Soon after I took my baby home to die.

So... What is her point? That evil vaccines killed her son? It's a horrible thing and all, but anyone who seriously pays lip service to the anti-vaccine "movement" might as well smash someones head in with a rock, for all the good it does. We've eradicated deadly diseases, ones that took the lives of millions of people, with tyese self-same vaccines. The fact remains: Babies die. It's sad, and we don't like it, bu its true. We discover new diseases so that we may better guard against them later on. Her sons death is a tragedy, yes, but unrelated to vaccines. Even if it wasn't, the good they dp outweighs the death of a single child.

Agreed. All you're doing is playing the odds and hoping you're in the majority.

Fuck you.

Say that when it's YOUR kid, or your niece, as it were, and by a vaccine that not only probably doesn't even do what it was advertised, that the manufacturer KNEW was dangerous if not deadly, and tried to bribe TX Governor Perry to make legally mandatory... all to make a buck, and with people like you cheering it right on in their ignorance.

You're all so quick to write someone elses children off as collateral damage, okay, fine - pick one of yours, and kill them out of hand, then, and ONLY THEN, will I find your argument acceptable.

And for the record I am not anti-vaccine per se, so much as I believe we really, REALLY need to improve on the safety and effectiveness of the damn things - something which in recent years has come back to bite us hard, and with deadly consquences, from vaccine caused polio outbreaks, to Baxter shipping live virus mixed with vaccine shipments either by intention or by an almost unthinkable, impossible, breach of BSL-3 procedures, to the Gardasil fiasco, SV-40 contamination, and so forth and so on, so don't for a moment think you're dealing with some easily-dismissed kook - I DO my homework, have you ?

No, you'd rather go on faith, the same way people took Gardasil on faith, and wound up DEAD, and one of them was MY people...

And you being okay with that, frankly, makes me wanna puke.

Another example of Darwin's Curse on stoopid sheeple.

I bet she thinks Arabs did 9/11, Lee Oswald shot JFK, the 16th Amendment was ratified, the Federal Reserve Bank is the federal govt, Buzzed Aldrin walked on the moon, and Operation Northwoods was by the Sierra Club.

Penn & Teller are obviously paid for their govt propaganda, perhaps laundered through their Mafiya employers in Sin City. PT also claims 9/11 was perped by Arabs in a cave, and Buzzed Aldrin walked on the "moon".

Contrary to PT's BS, Amish have found the cure for autism, and Amish who have autism are adopted and vaccinated from Commie China:

I do agree that we need to continue improving vaccinations, making sure they are as safe as possible. I've heard enough anicdotal stories to wonder if sometimes, occasionally, vaccines can potentially cause problems. But the good they do shouldn't be ignored and I still think its important to vaccinate, but as I said research needs to continue and improvements need to be made. Frem I'm sorry that some of yours have had trouble with vaccinations.

But the good they've done is undeniable and I think they are important, ultimately it is the parent's choice, but I think encouraging vaccinations is good, but of course it should come along with further research and improvement in the vaccines we give. I've never had any trouble with any of mine fortunately.

PN, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying exactly, I understand that you are a conspiracy theorist, you certainly have the right to be, but I didn't quite understand the rest of it.

Lemme pose a hypothetical question about how the "good" outweighs the death of a single child.

Suppose there are 10 children whose lives could be saved if they had organ transplants. Would you kidnap and kill a healthy child to harvest those organs to save the lives of 10?

If not, why not? What's the difference?

Frem,

US Supreme Court just handed down a decision to "preempt all vaccine design defect lawsuits" in the country.

In other words, if the vaccine turns out to not be as safe as it could have been, or should have been, and it kills or injures your kid, tough.

I can't believe you are all taking this so seriously...the story is made up...a lie.

And what does the story say: 'Took kid to get shots, kid sick.'

I got sick the other day...flu-like symptoms mere hours after ordering Netflix for the PS3. Netflix causes the flu.

When I was a kid a broke my wrist (by falling down a hill) shortly after getting a shot. Shots cause broken wrists.

My dog threw up this morning after we woke up and went outside. Dog pee causes dogs to throw up.

So to sum up, fake story and false conclusion, easy to fool most of you cause your already mostly on board the 'evil govt-corporation vaccines and jet contrails are killing us all' train.

I note for the record that my mother died of cancer during a snowstorm...snow must cause cancer.
