Should I vaccinate my child?

Maria Bernardez, MD, of Orange Pediatric Care provides the answer

As a pediatrician, I recommend that all kids be vaccinated. The benefits greatly outweigh the risk. There are some misinformation out there that could scare parents into not giving their kids vaccines. It is very important that they talk to their pediatrician about their concerns so they can be reassured.

Stating there is misinformation out there is misinformation in itself. Parents should be concerned and need to fully educate themselves before they decide whether or not to vaccinate. There are many studies indicating how dangerous vaccines are as well as the relation between vaccines and all the chronic medical issues that our children are now suffering from at an epidemic proportions. Many of these medical issues are even listed in the vaccine manufacturers own literature. These adverse events are not so rare as we parents are told they are. Unfortunately the majority of pediatricians are not as informed in the area of vaccines as we are led to believe. The known toxic ingredients and carcinogens alone should have one questioning injecting them into their child. There are NO studies indicating that the CDC Recommended Vaccine Schedule is even safe for our children despite the never ending request of parents and concerned medical professions. Parents can opt out of "mandatory" vaccinations for school with a State vaccine exemption
