<< By the way, if you look at CDC and WHO data and other historical data,
most
infectious diseases that we now vaccinate for were ALREADY on the decrease
due to natural immunity of the population. There was a little blip of
polio in 1948 in the UK due to hygiene problems in the cities post-WW2 but
then was starting to go back down again. THe decrease in disease incidence
was already occurring before the advent of vaccinations. Check your
history if you doubt >>
I am going to shock a lot of people--but after extensive personal research I
stopped vaccinating my horses for anything but tetanus. Ten years now that my
horses have recieved a yearly tetanus booster and nothing else. They have
never been healthier. My dogs and cats recieve tetenus and rabies/distemper.
My 10 year old daughter is Non-immunized. She is the healthiest kid in the
county, if not state. I could go into my reasons for not immunizing my child
but this is not the forum--I will respond to private e-mails on the subject
AS LONG AS they are not simply rants on "how you are endangering your child
and others"--only queries genuinly wanting information etc.
Interesting that this subject came up--I am currently writing an article on
vaccination hazards, and was about to ask the group to send me (privately)
any negative anecdotal stories/experiences you've seen in your animals with
vaccines---so now I'm askin'! All replies greatly appreciated!
