I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts. -Abraham Lincoln<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

In my short life I have had\u00a0the standard number of birthdays for my age as many other people.\u00a0 But there are people who’s birthdays are threatened by a lack of vaccinations.\u00a0 In America, there is a growing group of families who are refusing to get vaccinations for many child hood diseases, availing themselves of the once religious exemptions.\u00a0 That is to say most of the exemptions used to be religion, now they are willful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0A parent is dedicated to doing everything they can for their child, at least normal parents are, yet, how can they refuse them vaccinations that we know prevent childhood disease.\u00a0 This is because of something else, a growing sense amung people that autism (and other things)\u00a0is caused by or is linked to these diseases.<\/p>\n

To dismiss these feelings and shove evidence at people has never worked yet people do it.\u00a0 Not to mention evidence is just\u00a0 the currently most accepted scientific acceptable fact.\u00a0 I could go into all the old principles that were reversed, but that’s not the point.\u00a0 You heard me, the reversal is not the point.\u00a0 Science lives to be tested. It must be tested.\u00a0 Absolutely steadfastly believing\u00a0 that there is no link “because science says so” is doing a disservice to these parents.\u00a0\u00a0 Let us say instead there has shown to be no scientifically acceptable link so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I explain in another post, it’s not uncommon for humans to have a gut feeling about something.\u00a0 Usually their gut feelings are applying a grenade to carve a turkey<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0It may take years to separate environmental, chemical, hell even past nuclear testing and even\u00a0sun spots; but let us focus in on that gut feeling, and let’s get this debate out of the way quickly and get these children vaccinated.<\/p>\n

As for parents, if you are thinking about not giving your children\u00a0 vaccines, give it careful consideration anyway.\u00a0 Chose at least the deadliest, or the ones that would leave your child disabled for life and eliminate those;\u00a0a little advise from someone who has had\u00a0the dreaded pox twice, but is grateful for\u00a0never\u00a0having had polio.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I like birthdays after all.\u00a0 The more the merrier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
