Hi everyone I just joined this site and found your group and Im so happy... I have been doing a lot of research recently on the potential harm of all the multiple vaccines they now give especially the link between mercury and autism (which I think is scary) We've had all my sons shots up until now and we are going for his next scheduled apt. this week. Im don't know what to do any suggestions??? Someone said that you can get vaccines without mercury, do you know if thats true?
Tell the doctor you're skipping the vax this time in order to do some more research and that you'll make a separate appointment for the vax when/if you made your decision to do them.
You need to be strong and not let yourself be convinced by your Dr or the nurse to go through with the vaccinations. You need to research this topic for as long as it takes until you are 100% confident in your decision. It took me a few months but I got there.
As for vaccines no longer containing mercury, this is not true. In the vaccines that originally contained thimerosal, this compound in now extracted out after the vaccine is created but 100% cannot be extracted leaving about ><.03% behind on average. Any amout of mercury it too much, it is the second most toxic substance on this planet.
Please go to www.cafemom.com and type in Choosing not to vaccinate. You will find this an excellent place to start.
There is also a great discussion on this board in the Stay at Home Moms group. There is a mom who is also a nurse/doctor (I don't remember which) who had not vaccinated and has a lot of great info to share regarding how she came to the decision not to vaccinate. It is a thread that is now a few weeks old. But, if you look back a few pages you will find it. Unfortunately I can't remember the names of the threads however it will be apparent that vaccinating/not vaccinating is the topic.

I would politely tell your Dr that you are going to wait to give anymore while you are researching. Mercury/thimerosol is still in ALL vaccines it is just trace amounts in some. But the other ingredients can do just as much damage along with being exposed to so many viruses and bacteria’s.
Here is a link from the CDC with the ingredients. (I sometimes have trouble with this link so let me know if it doesn't work. I can give you the link to the package inserts.)
I might be late on replying to this thread, but I think I am the doc that was referred to earlier. If you have not read the threads on the Stay At Home Mom's site, they are entitled 'Mercury in our babies' vaccines', 'Varicella' and there may be one just called 'Vaccines'. But you will have to go back a couple of pages to find them.
I post research articles that deal with how the body, especially the brain, reacts to vaccinations. The problem is not simply mercury. Aluminum (along with many other harmful substances) is in still in almost all vaccines; and, we all know this heavy metal is implicated in Alzheimer's/Dementia. When Aluminum binds with either fluoride (which is in most toothpastes and drinking water), or mercury, the devestation is immense. There is a synergistic effect. What this means in terms of damage is...
instead of 1+1=2, 1+1=7.
Anyway, I don't want to repeat myself, so if you have not yet, check out those threads.
