Children Should Not Get Immunized
There is too much danger because of higher risk of asthma, allergies, ADD and autism. Govt. Only promotes this because of Pharmaceutical interests.

Children brains do most of there developing in the first 3 to 5 years and are extremely vulnerable to environmental factors. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the immunizations might be seriously problematic for a small but significant percentage of the recipients and serious questions about the efficacy and necessity of the immunizations. If I was making the decision for a child right now I would seriously question whether or not to go through with it.

Not unless their parents have some desire for them to be part of the government's experiment.

You can always send them to US government school - with or without vaccines. Many people who don't bother to read about it don't know this, so I thought now would be a great time to make the point.

Have we really ever stopped to think why our children are becoming more allergic these days?? Vaccination recommendations have sky rocketed and so have allergies! The peanut allergy has doubled in the last 5 years, ever wonder why...some vaccines are made with peanut oil! When will we start to think for ourselves and stop letting the medical community and pharmaceuticals tell us what is best for our children? We don't take our health into our own hands anymore and think for ourselves. It is really sad and our children are suffering for it.

Children are vaccinated, not immunised.

If children were immunised they would not need booster vaccinations and would be guaranteed 100% immunity after said vaccines. They are not.

It is a difficult concept for the lay person to understand. The scare mongering that my fellow debater mentions is not in fact from the anti-vaccine movement but from the Large Pharmaceutical Corporations, the government in their pocket and their media buddies.

I'll start with a question about the first vaccination children receive at birth. What are they immunised for and why?

I'll finish this installment with the a question about the most recent vaccination a female child would receive. What are they immunised for and why?

I will continue when we have some answers come my way.

Seat belts on fellow debaters, I dare say we are in for a great ride.

 I agree. I have one child who got the vaccine for chicken pox. He got chicken pox - a severe case. My other two were not vaccinated, got the chicken pox and had the "very mild" cases that I'm told only the "vaccinated" get "if they get it at all". My whole point is that how does anyone know how many vaccinated come down with it? How do they know how mild the case is? Is there some secret agency that magically knows the statistics? No there is not, there is no "agency" for reporting adverse reactions, there is no "agency" where it is mandatory that a doctor (or patient) report the disease, the vaccine failure or any adverse reactions. So tell me, how is it doctors can look a parent in the eye and say "oh but if he gets it at all then he will only get a mild case". Just how do they? Do they blindly believe everything written in the AAP handbook??? And just where does the info in the "handbook" come from???

Of course they should be immunised against all dangerous and infectious diseases that we can...
All of the research that "shows" that jabs are linked to autism has since been discredited by the government and the scientific community. The initial study on the mmr jab was based on a study on only 12 people and the jabs formulated were not the official ones used and also would never be allowed for use anyway because of some of the chemicals in it were known to cause autism. The doctor who formulated these results was also payed by a family a sum of £50,000 ($100, 000) to summon evidence for their court case. The amount payed would give the scientist split motives one not being for the advance of science.

In conclusion jabs for immunisation are perfectly safe and have been certified by the government to be safe and they would not spend the money investing in immunisation if the effects of the diseases were not extremely damaging.

Without immunisations many people would die at a young age. Think of other time periods - many more people died because their immune system was not good enough to fight off some diseases.

 Why was the immune system not strong enough? Could that have to do with things like running water, sewage systems and the fact that they didn't over-use of anti-biotics?

You think their immune systems did what it was designed for back then? You think our vaccinated bodies have immune systems that work the same?

These are NOT deadly disease which we in the US and Canada vaccinate for! Well, not unless you are easily influenced by fear mongering and irrational brain washing of what society thinks. Do some actual research. Study the facts, not the vaccine advertisements!

Everyone should be immunized. That includes children. Protecting children from deadly diseases is important, even if it can cause problems.

 You should go get your boosters because sometimes certain vaccines wane over time.

One thing I think is important is for children to get childhood diseases when they are children. What is not told to you is that nobody knows what will happen to adults who got the vaccine for chicken pox as a child. When the vaccine and it's booster wanes over time - will these adults get this childhood disease that is known to be very dangerous in most people over the age of 12?

Yes, there have been various medical diseases and conditions linked with immunisation. However, it is safe to say that, as in the case of any other medical procedure, there are risks of some form, and in this case the risks are very small.

Certainly, the risks involved outweigh the benefit derived from immusation, and the lives saved by the immunisation against various diseases.

Of course, it is essential that further research is carried out into the apparent risks, in order to ensure that the immunisations being carried out are the safest and least risk-free.

This is madness! Is there any scientific proof that vaccinations or immunisations cause Autism, Asthma? No there isn't! Just a doctors report years ago that was proved wrong! People die of diseases when their young if it wasn't for immunisation!

Immunity is required not only for children but also to adults. But some diseases are there for which we should get our children immunized at a very infant age because certain diseases are there which if affects the children then they may not get recovery very soon and they may had to suffer lifelong. Though our body is built up in such a form that there remains to be a generally immunity in it but they can not resist our body from all diseases. Also this immunity and resistance power varies from person to person. So it is a must for any children to get immunized at a very young age. We can see every year Government plays a vital role to make every body understand to have their babies immunized from reliable Government clinics and hospitals.

I believe that all children should be immunized. This should be a law. If parents do not immunize their children, then they could be subjected to a number of dangerous and deadly illnesses. If a child does get sick because of a lack of an immunization, then this could be a form of child abuse. Parents have the responsibility to immunize their children.

Today's world is very dirty. One can get deathly ill very easy. Even something as simple as the flu can be deadly. If these illnesses can be prevented, why not prevent them? For me, immunizations are a necessity for living a long, healthy life. My son has all of his immunizations updated and therefore, I do not worry about him catching any of those dangerous and deadly diseases. I sleep better at night knowing he is safe from these illnesses

All children should be immunised except mine.

There are small but definite risks for any individual who has any foreign matter injected into them. However, there are large and definite benefits from having the whole population immunised. It prevents the spread of diseases and saves huge costs in curing the preventable sick.

Its like washing your hands after using a public toilet. You are unlikely to come to any harm from your own body and more likely to catch something from the taps. But everybody else is at risk from your dirty paws, spreading germs on door knobs, eating or serving utensils, supermarket trolley handles etc. So its safest for you if you don't to wash your hands and everybody else washes theirs.

However this selfish attitude does not bring about the greatest good to the greatest number which should be the aim of any civilised society.

So unfortunately compulsory immunisation for all is the only fair approach and very sorry for the one in a million who suffers collateral damage.

This seems to me to be totally non-sensical. Unless you have a real medical reason why you should not be immunised, then it seems that you are simply failing to protect children from dangerous illnesses and disease.

The fear about potential links between immunisation and other medical problems has never been firmly proven. Instead, there is much scare mongering which convinces parents to foolishly place their children in danger for fear of worse accidental illness.

Immunisation is about saving lives and not about pharmaceutical interests. Could they use it unethically? Yes, of course they could. Does it seem like useless scare mongering to you? Well, it does to me.

This type of scare mongering confuses parents and railroads them into making uninformed or should I say misinformed choices. Without any proof, this can be playing with the lives of children.

This type of delusional nonsense causes lots of publicity and anti-pharm/chem feeling but essentially creates hype for the nay-sayers.

As yet, there is no firm evidence for the links, no evidence that is rock solid, so until it's rock solid, could you please keep immunising your children so that they don't end up with some dreadful disease because trust me, if your child gets sick, it will be doctors and drugs that save them, not empty scare mongering rhetoric.
