Lucy,
What is the source of your information?
I don't doubt that some people will have adverse reactions to immunizations. For most of these vaccinations, the disease is far worse and affects far more people than the adverse affects.
I sure wish gardisal was around when I was young.

I will up front admit to be so far anti-vaccine that you'd have to kill me before shooting up one of my kids again. Why? Because I have three vaccine damaged kids. I can directly link their health issues to their shots. We stopped all shots at 12 mos. of age as we watched kid after kid have serious side effects. Each time thinking the next kid would be fine. Why it took me until the 3rd kid to completely get it I will put down to being young and dumb and trusting my doctor WAY too much. That experience taught me to trust no one in the medical field and to educate myself on what gets put into their bodies. No one will EVER take care of your kid the way you will. They have no self interest in doing so.
I highly dispute the statement that the diseases are worse then the side effects of the shots. Our bodies were created to have the immune system naturally stimulated and challenged to make it stronger. Yes, there are some cases where people with pre-existing health conditions or other health weaknesses have died from the diseases. But compared to the damage caused by the shots themselves to entire populations, you can't even hold a candle to that with the disease. Additionally, the vaccines are now causing these disease strains to mutate causing a second wave of stronger diseases that are more difficult to deal with.

Nearly all cases of whooping cough today come from VACCINATED individuals. There have been a couple of cases of unvaxed people getting it but they are few and far between. Of the vaxed individuals it is because the whooping cough strain is mutating and the shots they got are no good against the new strain.
There are 94 strains of HPV. Gardasil uses FOUR strains in the vaccine. REALLY? So, there are still 90 other strains that can cause cancer? That must make people that get the shot feel great about their "protection!" The truth of the matter is, most people's bodies will take care of the HPV virus on its own. On average there are 3909 people that die from cervical cancer per year. Since gardasil was put into play there have been 100+ deaths attributed to and 25,183 severe injuries ranging from autoimmune diseases to seizures. And that's only the ones that were reported. The CDC knows that vaccine damage is under-reported. Of the 25,000+ damaged, how many will experience early death as a result of their new disease or damaged health? Right now, it's too early to tell because gardasil hasn't been around long enough. But you cannot tell me that the benefit outweighs the risk with those statistics. Of the parents I know of with vaccine damaged kids, most of them will tell you they consider "damage" as something that was life altering to their child; not allowing them to live the normal life they once had. We're not talking about fevers here.
I could literally write reams on vaccines, how they work, what's in them, etc. But the bottom line is there has NEVER been the massive amounts of disease that we have today since the uptick of vaccination. And it's bull to say things are more "diagnosed" today. Really? You want to tell me my in-laws didn't know my SIL was retarded in 1960? It took until the 90's to figure that out? Parents knew when their kids had issues 30yrs ago. It is NOT better diagnosis.
Vaccines are about two things - money and population control. I posted a link on another thread somewhere showing the correlation between those on the boards of drugs companies, the CDC, and the FDA. Follow the money - because that's the ONLY thing vaccines are about.
Bill Gates is the #1 proponent of vaccinating for population control. Why? Because it causes damage and kills people earlier in life.

Vaccine damage is reported 1/10 of the time to VAERS. Why? Because it's incumbent upon physicians to report it and when you make that phone call that something is wrong with your kid, they'll tell you "it's normal" and not report it the majority of the time.
I am a lover of freedom and adamantly opposed to the nanny state. So my stand on vaccines while rock hard for my family is this for others - informed consent. I believe with every bone in me that doctors ought to be required to give the vaccine insert to parents to read the appt. BEFORE they are scheduled for specific shots. Should a parent not read it, or return and agree to it, then they do so fully knowledgable. They can make no beef with what happens to their kid as a result because they were at least given the information. Had I been given this information, I would have NOT had my kids vaccinated. I was already heavily questioning my doctor but trusted him enough I thought surely he would tell me if there was any risk. But I can tell you that ALL of the doctors my kids have had, when asked if they've read the vaccine inserts, know what the ingredients are and their potential risks, have told me unashamedly, "no, they have not read them." The doctor that did my kids told me that even though he hadn't read it, he knew they were fine. <shaking my head> It is to my shame that I did not push him on this issue.
So vaccinate if you wish, but be informed when you do so. Whether it's ITP or the seizures a friend's girl got the second she walked away after getting the gardasil shot, vaccines are dangerous and damaging to the entire health of a person.
I go back to a statement I made on another thread. Hippocrates said, "let food be thy medicine, and medicine they food." A population that cares enough to take care of themselves will whether childhood diseases with a whole lot less damage then a population shot full of chemicals that the body was NEVER created to utilize. I'm not saying people did not lose their lives from some of these childhood diseases, but the truth is, it was a far lesser amount then the number of people being diagnosed with damaged immune systems today.
I will not argue on here with anyone that has not spent at least an intense year studying BOTH sides of this issue. Because if you are one sided without the knowledge of the other side, you know nothing and only spew what you've been told. I have literally studied both sides of this issue for YEARS. And I continue to be a student of it.
Yes, MD Gal, it is likely your immune system was damaged by it and set you up for ITP. And if it wasn't ITP, it may have been some other autoimmune disease. Clearly, your body did not handle the chemicals and immune stimulation that this shot caused.
