So I've seen alot of conserversy latly about whether or not to get your children/yourself vaccinated. Some people think autism or epilepsy or even certain disablilities are caused by vaccines. I've also heard people say that the government use vaccines to spread the diseases around to keep people "regulated". I'm not sure if any of that is true or not.
I've also had this discussion with several different doctors that range from a family practioner to an ob/gyn doctor. They are are pretty much sticking to the same story. Every one should get vaccinated with the what the CDC suggests.
The doctors are saying that it helps keep our immune systems protected from diseases and also helps the spread of these diseases. Research has shown vaccines make some disease outbreak less likely. According to the CDC in 1979 Japan had a rumor spread around that the whopping cough/pertussis vaccine was no longer needed so alot of parents didn't vaccinate their children and there was a huge epidemic.
I guess each parent/ adult needs to do their research and find what they think works best for their family. I for one will have my daughter and all future children vaccinated. If i can help keep my child safe and keep from epidemics happening then I am game.
