the mind of a moonstruck mommy

I’m not sure if everyone knows this, but vaccinations are a VERY hot topic amongst moms.  There have been studies that are linking autism with all the vaccinations we are giving our kids these days.  Here is Robert Kennedy Jr. explaining it better!

And here is a website that can explain it all in great detail.

Kinda scary huh?  The ingredients in vaccinations are really yucky! This is from the CDC website:

Common substances found in vaccines include:
* Aluminum gels or salts of aluminum which are added as adjuvants to help the vaccine stimulate a better response to the vaccine. Adjuvants help promote an earlier, more potent response, and more persistent immune response to the vaccine.
* Antibiotics which are added to some vaccines to prevent the growth of germs (bacteria) during production and storage of the vaccine.
* Egg protein is found in influenza and yellow fever vaccines, which are prepared using chicken eggs. Ordinarily, persons who are able to eat eggs or egg products safely can receive these vaccines.
* Formaldehyde is used to inactivate bacterial products for toxoid vaccines, (these are vaccines that use an inactive bacterial toxin to produce immunity.) It is also used to kill unwanted viruses and bacteria that might contaminate the vaccine during production.
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and 2-phenoxy-ethanol which are used as stabilizers in a few vaccines to help the vaccine remain unchanged when the vaccine is exposed to heat, light, acidity, or humidity.
* Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is added to vials of vaccine that contain more than one dose to prevent contamination and growth of potentially harmful bacteria.

Not to mention- Monkey kidney tissue culture, human diploid tissue, chicken embryo, and hydrochloric acid

Now, I don’t know what I believe.  Nayana got all of her immunizations on time, but Jasdeep hasn’t gotten one since he was 4 months old.  I am going to vaccinate him, I just decided to wait until his little baby body is bigger.  I am thinking I will start again when he is around 18 months old.  I know that some people think I should never vaccinate them, but I honestly would rather have an autistic child (if it should end up that way) then a child crippled from Polio.

If anyone has any information or anything they’d like to share, I would love to hear it.  This is a very interesting issue and I just hate that I can’t tell who is right.  It is scary to think our government would be knowingly poisoning our children, but if there does prove to be a link, that is exactly what they are doing.

Recently 3 different federal judges in autism/vaccination cases ruled that there is no link between the two.  However, it is said there will be appeals and the parents that believe there is a link haven’t changed their minds. Not to mention the fact that the government refuses to study unvaccinated children.  A private group that did conduct a study found frightening results:

“We surveyed over 9,000 boys in California and Oregon and found that vaccinated boys had a 155% greater chance of having a neurological disorder like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys.” – Generation Rescue

I think it is up to each parent to decide what is best for their children.  And up to each parent to stat outta everyone else’s business! Have a great weekend everyone!
