Reasons For Not Vaccinating My Children #325

Imagine you now have the responsibility of being completely responsible for a child that is your flesh and blood. A new person in this world, and you must protect them from all that is reasonable. I propose to you two facts:

#1: One of every 150 public school children age 8 years old are autistic (2007-2008)

#2: There are many scientific studies proving thimerosal causes autism. Thimerosal is a mercury containing preservative used in Vaccines. (scientific study link) (article link)

Knowing this, would you vaccinate your child? Would you dare to roll the permanently neurologically damaging dice? The odds are 1 in 150! On the other hand, your pediatrician will try and scare you into thinking that you are endangering your child by putting them at risk of getting polio or the mumps. I don't know what the odds are of getting those illnesses, but something tells me they are far greater than 1 in 150.

Maybe before we just jump in and do whatever the government tells us, you should take a step back and ask, "Is this safe for my child?"

Welcome to my very first blog!

Are you wondering what Britney Spears is doing right now? Or the latest Paris Hilton tweet? Or perhaps your dying to know where Michael Jackson's body is going to be buried? If so, then you have come to the wrong place. I won't be talking about how cute my kids are (by the way, they are super cute), or how well my garden is growing (FYI : Tons of veggies).

I'm going to talk about all those other things in my head. I hope to do this at least once or twice a week, so I encourage you to come back and visit often. Leave a comment, stir the pot, or just be kind. Either way, I want to talk about things that maybe you know all about or maybe will cause you to change how you look at the world. Politics and news is going to be a frequent topic, but I'm going to steer towards things the mainstream media seems to black out.

I want you to notice the vitality of these issues and wonder why you didn't hear about it in the 5:30 news. On the other hand, I'll cover some light hearted things too. Topics will be episodic at times. I'm hoping to have fun with this, but at the same time wake some people up too!

Keep your eyes open because this is going to be way better than Britney!
