I feel like it's a prison sentence or something for her. <br />I would love to be a good citizen and do my part to keep all those healthy who aren't able to vaccinate for whatever reason - but to me, it just absolutely doesn't feel right. I truly feel like we're about to see change as more and more research comes out and more and more parents are questioning the system.<br /><br />also, my younger brother (17 and fully vaxed) had pertussis this April. When he was most contagious (showing flu-like symptoms before the coughing starts) both my kids (a 2 month old not vaxed at all and a 2 year old who is behind on his dtap) were exposed to him multiple times. neither came down with it. this could be a combination of luck and other things, but i truly believe these vaccines don't do all the magic things we're made to believe they do. <br /><br />and all that to say, i think it's awesome that you're giving the schedule so much thought and your pedi is on board with the one you've come up with. mama foosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192265268891945322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947122389840787125.post-72702846566650594782013-07-19T10:03:08.553-05:002013-07-19T10:03:08.553-05:00Thanks for that!
