Mandatory Vaccinations

The problem is when a vaccine is first introduced, you have no idea the wide range of possible effects until it's been given to a large population of people. My pediatrician for the last 6.5 years doesn't agree with my point of view on vaccinations but respects my choice. I remember refusing to let them give my son the "Prevnar" vaccine when it became available. This was suppose to help prevent pneumonia, meningitis and ear infections. Upon visiting my pediatrician many months later, he removed that vaccine from his office due to many children coming down with pneumonia and severe, recurring ear infections. That vaccine was recalled in 2009. I refuse to let them use my children as human guinea pigs. (and that's how i view it)

I'm not saying I'm against vaccines as a whole. I'm merely saying I am cautious about them, especially when a new one is introduced. I have little faith in the medical community due to my own horrid experiences. Believe me when I say these so-called experts sometimes don't know their head from their ass.
