vaccination

vaccinations scare me. shooting dead or living virus cocktails into tiny little babies is scary. the rate of autism in baby boys terrifies me. i have heard that in mn it is one in one hundred. that is too much!!!!!!!!!! i would just want to die if jack suddenly didn't know me anymore. it would be like child-alzheimers. so, i had opted to NOT vaccinate. but, you know, that is kind of like playing russian roulet. and i hate gambling, especially with my child's life. also, who trusts the fda? tainted pet food and tomatoes? we can't even trust our pet food? so how can i trust vaccines? ever eaten those "wow" doritoes? the ones back in the day with olestra? the fat wasn't supposed to stay in your system. great! down side? anal leakage! my point, i am paranoid.

well, i do believe that there are some vaccines that are worth it. so, yesterday, at a whopping 24 1/2 lbs., and 13 months, jack received the polio vaccine and the tdap (tetnus, diptheria, pertussis (whooping cough)). one in each thigh. i had to hold his upper body down and look in his precious little face as he cried in pain. it was really hard. it is hard to be a mommy. it is worth it.
