Forced vaccines?

Lots of developments have taken place in baby since the last post.  The week of Christmas his temp was 104.8 and he had a febrile seizure, which ended him up on round 13 of antibiotics.  However - the new pediatrician decided to think outside the box on this one. 

Back in Sept 2013 when I allowed for the MMR (because I was told it didn't carry formaldehyde, a common allergy in the preservative world), baby ended up with HIVES from head to toe.  By far the worst reaction he got after ANY of the other vaccinations.  However, that pediatrician (that I had seen for over 5 years) was SURE it wasn't a reaction to the vaccine.  You see, 2 days after the vaccine his temp got so high the docs put him on Zithromax for the first time.  "The hives HAVE to be coming from the antibiotic" and they marked that as a drug allergy in his chart.  I was skeptical.. and was even told by another health care professional that he looked like he had measles. 

So... 2 weeks ago, the new and improved pediatrician decided to test that theory.  She had me give the baby Zithromax and hold on to a dose of Benadryl "just in case" and "watch him for 30 minutes straight, and don't let him nap out of your sight".  Guess what?  5 days and not one little dot on his skin.  MMR allergy?  YUP!

So - the immunologist appointment was moved up and the blood work results were in.  NO AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE.  Thank God!  So?  "That means there is something toxic in his blood stream, a severe allergy that is most likely causing this resistant infection.  Get the adenoids out, possibly the tonsils, tube his ears, scrape his sinus cavity and culture all of the above."  Wow... ok.... So here we are.  Surgery is scheduled this Wednesday.  36 hours.  But here is the kicker!  AFTER all this, pending the culture results, we aren't sure what will need to take place to RID the body of the allergy.  And what did the allergist/immunologist agree it was?  VACCINES.

Here is the "opinion" part.  You have all read most, or know most, of our battle this past 20 months.  It took me a total of 16 months to get to the modern medical world to admit and now document that my son can NOT physically tolerate vaccinations.  I follow this awesome mom site called Snap Mom, and it was recently shared that a mom in WV is not allowed to have her child start school unless vaccinated.  Period.  She can have a doctor prove medically incapable, but she just doesn't want to vaccinate.  That is her right.  Isn't it? 

Listen.  I believe in vaccinations.  My 5 year old is current and up to date.  But what if, after these past 16 months, the doctors continued to deny the issues and continued to withhold documentation of reactions?  What then?!  Trust me.  My hubby and I discussed that.  I would have homeschooled WAY before allowing another needle in my precious son's body.  But WHY AND WHEN did that become okay??

Hello??  Why is it that my new doctor is telling me that as of this year, "philosophical" and "religious" exemptions will be void?  I looked it up... 2 states (Miss and WV) are already there.  You don't have the right to refuse vaccines if you want to use the public schools.  WOW!  So its like that.  You do it "their way" or you are on your own.  See for yourself:  http://www.nvic.org/vaccine-laws.aspx 

You know what else I figured out??  I can fill out forms on that website that will report my sons reactions to vaccinations.  Did you know the doctors are supposed to that?  What about the doctors that refuse to believe the vaccines are the problem?  Guess what I'll be doing?  :)

I am just so sad for all the parents out there in this country that are feeling trapped by our laws.  The land of the "free" is NOT free anymore.  We no longer have the right to CHOOSE vaccinations for our kids.  Well... I suppose we do.  But you better start researching your curriculum!
