Would you tell your child's Pediatrician "No"?

i have never told my chids doctor no as i believe he is qualified enough to do the right thing in that situation, i mean there are pleanty of children who have no problems at all with the vaccinations that are given and a small few that get things like autism always blame the vaccine, if that were the case wouldnt all children who were vaccinated be autistic???

We have had a good pediatrician since our youngest was born, almost 4 years ago, before that, finding a ped who would deal with special needs children was difficult. That said...yes, I would, will, have and will continue to say "NO" as I see fit. Our youngest had a terrible vaccine injury in Nov. 2005, from the flu vaccine (Ironically, supposedly the "only" vax that is still allowed to contain thimerisol? Hmmmm) And since then, we do not vax. Period. And I'd have to also say that I wouldn't have a pediatrician who didn't include me in on health decisions... there are no unilateral decisions made in my children's health care. They (doctors) can say their peace, but I'm also saying mine. If we agree, we proceed, if there is a difference of opinion, we figure it out. Some things I'll bend on, other things...no. The vaccinations, after our experience, are one of the things I will not bend on. I allowed myself to reluctantly agree to vax in the first place, and was eaten alive by guilt when the very stuff I DIDN'T WANT put into my child's body made him lose skills, have a serious increase in seizures, scream for days and lose all communication skills. He is now almost 4 and has regained his losses... I would dare anyone to tell me that I should do the same again...wouldn't be a smart move.

Yes I would tell my son's pediatrician no and I have in fact done so already. Not sure how it is state to state, but in some states a doctor could actually have DHS/State take your kids out of your home if you refuse vaccines. But, I believe there is also a way around it. You just have to watch what you sign from anything the doctor gives you after the fact that you told him no more vaccines. I'm a mother of two kids and one of my children is Autistic and I agree with what Jenny says most of the time and I'm with her all the way in cutting down vaccines and taking mercury and other harmful ingredients out. What people don't realize is they actually add more ingredients to vaccines as the years go on. Then you have people wonder why all a sudden Autism has a rise, well think about it, but that is my opinion. So although I was nervous to tell my kids doctors no, I did...

I have on numerous occasions told my pediatrician no! My son was born three months premature. During hs first two years of life he was sick a lot. I would not allow him to get any vaccinations while he was not healthy. It took him a long time to get caught up with his first round of vaccinations, but I felt that was the best for him. I am not 100% convinced either way, about the links with autism and the vaccinations. But I do think there needs to be more studies. If there is even a possibility that this is true, we need to know and have other option available.

I've told several doctors no I am not vaccinating at all. As a non-vaxer with a religious\philosophical exemption for my children that is my right as a Canadian as per the Charter of Rights. The Charter of Rights in Canada states that no medical establishment, no government, no agent of the government (such as schools and children's aid societies) may force a person to vaccinate or force them to vaccinate their children. There are three provinces that have within their School Act that children need to be vaccinated for certain vaccines (DTAP, MMR and one other that eludes me at the moment) however, these three provinces have exemption forms that can be acquired by parents under philosophical, medical and religious reasons. Those provinces are Ontario, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. The charter of rights also states (this is the reason for the exemptions) that no local laws may read to superceed that Charter of Rights or read to make vaccines mandatory within Canada (ie: School Act). Have I gotten resistance from doctors when I say no? Mild resistance from one doctor stating her views on non-vaxers and that she believes that vaccines to work and that was it. The doctor in question was polite about it though and moved on quickly from the topic considering her office does not perform vaccine treatments anyway (she's a pediatric gastro specialist and neonate specialist). I believe that there are better ways to process these vaccines, is there really a need for all these harmful chemicals? Then, on the other hand, I believe we play with our health way too much and depress our natural immune systems with unnatural immunities that don't last. My children have had measles, mumps, chicken pox and pertussis. They are healthy and very much still alive without any complications or lasting effects. The propaganda and fear mongering to make a buck by Big Pharma and governments is astounding. When I was a child, there were not nearly as many vaccines given and not nearly as many fears of childhood disease or VPD's (vaccine preventable diseases). Measles was an inconveinence not a killer and it still isn't. Allopathic treatments are always improving and are still very effective, sometimes more effective than preventative treatments.
