SIDS(sudden infant death syndrome)

well, i do believe that the decision should be a personal one, and if you feel like the safest thing for you to do is to vaccinate your kids with all 30 odd shots/boosters before they're 2 yrs old, then i respect that. I just think that you should be aware of the danger. If my kids died or got sick from a shot that I decided to give him/her, i don;t know what i'd do. If my kid got mumps or chicken pox or measels, i'd take him to the doctor, and get him well. you see what i'm saying?

this is just the tip of a huge debate that goes on. some of the vaccines, like chicken pox, that are required in more and more schools, were tested for very short time periods, and lose effectiveness in the childs teenage years. if you get chixpox when you're 19 and in college, you're in deep shit. same with measels.

the data posted can be manipulated to argue whatever point you want, just like most data. I'm saying that there IS cause for concern, whether you see it or not. do some digging on your own, but if you are faced with this decision, please be aware of the danger of multiple and aggressive vaccination schedules.
