I, too, am a mother of a vaccine-injured child. My son (now 10) received his full set of vaccinations at 2 months old, and fell asleep immediately. We took him home, and laid him down for a nap. My gut, my mother's intuition, whatever you want to call it, I went to check on him and he was not breathing. I shook him, and he gasped a breath in. His lips and fingertips were blue. He could have died. We rushed him to the ER where he was put on a breathing tube for hours. He was sick for a week. We stopped vaccinating him, and I guarantee if that was your child you would have, too.
When I called my mom to tell her what happened, she said "your sister had a bad reaction to her vaccines when she was a baby, too, so I stopped vaccinating her and you never were either" And funny, I had my titers drawn while pregnant to see if I needed boosters and I had full immunity, no boosters required. My husband and I then made the decision, never again. My daughter has not been vaccinated either. I don't care about the CDC's numbers, their promises of safety, or anyone else's opinions. As for me and my kids, we will decline. If we have to homeschool, so be it.
