Gode tanker fra en mamma

[mamma-x-3]

En mamma som deler sine tanker om vaksiner. Vaksineskeptikere er en stadig voksende gruppe, naturlig nok :-D

Da deler jeg like gjerne tankene til en Pappa som kommenterer i bunn av bloggposten du linker til:

--------------------------------------

Forgive me for not considering you a healthcare expert. A college degree, an interest in holistic health, and an internet connection do not make you an authority on vaccinations and public health.

 

It’s presumptuous of you to think you know better than public health officials b/c you read a couple websites. And your position would be fine if your choices were only affecting your own child. Unfortunately, you and others like you are endangering other children.

 

Babies under two months old cannot be vaccinated, so they depend on the rest of society for to create an environment of immunity for them. Because of increasing vaccine refusals, eight babies have died this year in CA from whooping cough thanks to so many families making the choice you made and are encouraging others to make.

 

Just b/c your yoga instructor got whooping cough after getting vaccinated doesn’t mean the vaccine is useless. The whooping cough vaccine and booster provide each recipient with 85%-95% immunity, which means a small minority of people who receive these shots will still get whooping cough.

 

The vaccine and autism link has been disproven. Ten of the thirteen physicians who published that studied have retracted their support of it and the main author lost his medical license. When autism occurs, it is early in a child’s life. That’s also when kids get their vaccines. It’s a HUGE leap to say that b/c a kid got vaccinated, then got autism, that the vaccine caused autism. Since that the Jenny McCarthy appearance, Oprah has stated that kids should get vaccinated. By the way, Estee Klar is a parent of an autistic child who is fighting to promote childhood vaccinations. Having never appeared in Playboy, she doesn’t get as much attention as Jenny McCarthy, but her master’s degree in Critical Disability Studies probably makes her a just little more qualified to speak on these issues: http://www.esteeklar.com/2010/04/05/neurological-nirvana/

 

There’s a lot of noise about alternative medical practioners disliking vaccines, but the fact is, most naturopaths, homeopaths, and chiropractors think kids should get vaccinated.

 

I have a child getting ready for preschool. He’s vaccinated, of course. What angers me about your position is that your choice affects my kid’s health and safety. His vaccinations provide him substantial, but incomplete protection against diseases.

 

You have every right to not vaccinate your child, if you think that’s what’s best for him. Just keep him at home.

Ja, som ventet fører antivaksine-tanker fort til motreaksjoner. Det er som ventet, ute som hjemme.

 

Ingen som har valgt vaksinerer vil vel like å høre at de har tatt et dårlig (og farlig) valg. Man føler seg truet av kritiske røster. Og som vi vet, forsvar er det beste angrep :-D

 

 

[mamma-x-3]

Synes svaret Lori parerer kritikken godt:

 

"...I wish for you the opportunity to consider that our power lies within, and that we are not vulnerable to things outside ourselves. Fear is a big driver in this debate, and I feel a lot of fear in your reply. I trust that you are making choices that are right for you, just as I am making choices that are right for me and my family...."

 

Vi har et valg når det gjelder vaksiner. Valget er verdt å verne om :-D

[MortenO]

Jepp, valget skal hver og en ta ansvar for selv. Derfor syntes jeg det er synd når personer uttaler seg så bastant negativt om et tema de åpenbart kan altfor lite om. Da påvirker man nemlig valget til leserene på feil grunnlag og bidrar til å spre falsk skrekkpropaganda.

[mamma-x-3]

OK - Det var dine ord, Morten M. Vi kan i hvert fall være enige om én ting : At vi er grunnlegende uenige.

...men noen baserer meningene sine på fakta, forskning og kunnskap, mens du holder deg til homeopati, astrologi, voodoo og god gammeldags konspirasjonsteori. Samtidig synes du at de svake bare kan bli overlatt til seg selv og dø fordi deres liv ikke er like mye verdt som de sterkes. Hmmm.... hvor har jeg hørt om denne ideologien før?

Hvem er "noen" i denne sammenhengen EJ?
