Have you ever seen all of the little fliers they give you when your children receive vaccines with "most" of the possible side effects of such? I just believe that a newborn body isn't as capable as an older child is of helping ward off these possible side effects. The odds are much better when they're a bit older, in my opinion.
This is completely true and your concern is a very legitimate one.
And I have to criticize the idea of vaccinating infants. It is quite possibly the stupidest method of vaccination. Vaccines supposedly work by tricking the immune system with a, usually, dead version of an infection. The problem is that infants have a serverly underdeveloped immune system and the foreign materials injected into the infant will remain in the body for quite a long period of time and possibly do some damage. As I mentioned earlier, the U. of Pittsberg is finding evidence of abnormalities in the brainstem from the Hep. B vaccine, which is the first vaccine given to children, usually at birth.
And Stereo, I dont know what your country is like and what you believe, but this is America and this country was founded on freedom. Part of that freedom is to choose how you want to live your life, and of course what goes into your body. It infringes upon our freedoms to have the government mandate injecting foreign materials into our bodies.
Not to mention, I dont want the government to have that power when their track records are not so great. They tried to force the H1N1 vaccine on us long before the vaccine was even tested... and they made such a fuss over a version of the flu that is weaker and has killed less than the normal flu does.
Edit: and some doctors are skeptical of whether vaccines are truely effective and wonder if they are simply a waste of money and a risk to our health.

Quote:Cowpox vaccine was believed able to immunize people against smallpox. At the time this vaccine was introduced, there was already a decline in the number of cases of smallpox. Japan introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In 1892 there were 165,774 cases of smallpox with 29,979 deaths despite the vaccination program. A stringent compulsory smallpox vaccine program, which prosecuted those refusing the vaccine, was instituted in England in 1867. Within 4 years 97.5 % of persons between 2 and 50 had been vaccinated. The following year England experienced the worst smallpox epidemic[1] in its history with 44,840 deaths. Between 1871 and 1880 the incidence of smallpox escalated from 28 to 46 per 100,000. The smallpox vaccine does not work.
Edit: looks like I need to move some information from the other topic to here.
