1. should immunisation be compulsory?
- No, you can't take away our basic rights as human beings.
2. why do you think some parents are chosing not to immunise their children?
- because of adverse reactions, lack of information, deception from government
3. Do you believe in immunisation?
- yes, mainly because I don't know enough about it all, and don't want to risk not immunising my children.
4. If you have children are they immunised? and why did you choose to immunise them?
- Yes, as per no 3
5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunised within the community?
- not particularly
What im really looking for is the advantages and disadvantages of immunisation so please have a say and tell me what you believe.
A family friend had her son immunised as a young boy (in the late 80's) and after the immunisation his behaviour completely changed. I think he has aspergers or similar. Was quite fine before the shots, then was almost an instant change. So I am always nervous when I take my children in for theirs. Does the government really know enough about what they are giving our children? Do they tell us everything they know? I doubt it. We are like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed on manure.
Thank you for your time

1. should immunisation be compulsory? Yes - if you want your child to attend a mainstream school or daycare centre. 2. why do you think some parents are chosing not to immunise their children? I think the effects of some of these childhood illnesses have been long forgotten. Speak to the older generation - they clearly remember. 3. Do you believe in immunisation? Yes 4. If you have children are they immunised? and why did you choose to immunise them? Yes, I wouldn't risk my child developing an illness I could have so easily prevented such as whooping cough (rates of which are now on the rise!). 5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunised within the community? Yes, a child in the Nursery where my son attends daycare currently has Rubella. This somewhat alarms me! What im really looking for is the advantages and disadvantages of immunisation so please have a say and tell me what you believe. I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Ever seen a baby struggling for breath after contracting whooping cough? Aussie children these days do not die of Diptheria. I have a friend who clearly remembers her classmates 'disappearing' from the classroom. They had died from Diptheria. I think we have long forgotten the devestation childhood illnesses used to cause. The number of people failing to immunise their children appears to be growing and so does the rate of these illnesses! |

1. should immunisation be compulsory? Absolutely not simply because there are sooo many adverse effects to immunising a child. PLUS many children have allergies. If a child with an egg allergy is forced to be immunised, he could die because some vaccinations have traces of egg in them (doctors will tell you that just before giving the needle).
2. why do you think some parents are chosing not to immunise their children? Because they are intelligent enough to dig deeper and do their own research. Why is it that children who are immunised are at more risk of the disease they are being vaccinated against?? (Not to mention SIDS, autism, ADHD....) These "illnesses" turn up after vaccinations are commenced.
3. Do you believe in immunisation? No. Absolutely not. I have done the research and sadly the facts show that vaccinating your child is dangerous - it really does a lot more harm than good.
4. If you have children are they immunised? and why did you choose to immunise them? We have a toddler. She is partly vaccinated. She was vaccinated at birth (vitamin K) then went on to receive her 6mth vaccinations but I did some reading. Once I realised what the awful ingredients are in vaccinations I immediately stopped getting her vaccinated.
5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunised within the community? No. I think there are many alternatives to traditional vaccinations. There are homeopathic vaccinations. There is natural hygeine. There is raw food. There are many ways to stay healthy & prevent disease.
I don't think people who immunise there children are bad. I think it would be awful if immunisations were compulsary because they are really quite harmful.
If they were benficial & had no side effects and were 110% guaranteed to be safe & effective in protecting you from contracting the disease, then that would be ok. But they aren't! Many children vaccinated but still go on to get measles, whooping cough, chicken pox etc. This makes me question why we vaccinate children at all?? If they don't keep you from getting ill what exactly are they doing to our child's body?
This past 6+ months in Australia there have been many reports in the news (especially in Western Australia) of toddlers & babies falling very ill/dying/going into a coma immediately after being vaccinated. As a mother, this ALARMS me greatly! How can this be a coincidence if it happens over and over and over again? It sure makes me scared to get my daughter vaccinated! 
Some great sites...

| 1. should immunization be compulsory? Absolutely! The research done by reputable organizations shows that the risks are small enough to be statistically insignificant, vs. the huge risks of having children die or suffer for the rest of their lives with the side effects of polio, measles, diphtheria, etc. There is government interference with other medical issues anyway - you can be quarantined with infectious diseases and medicated for mental illness against your wishes, why not vaccinations? 2. why do you think some parents are choosing not to immunize their children? Misinformation. There are a lot of people out there making claims of vaccination danger basing it off studies that may sound conclusive but are in reality questioned by the medical and research fields. A lot of the concern stems from research conducted in the 90's that has now been totally debunked. 3. Do you believe in immunization? Absolutely. I have done the research and looked at sources, and believe that the risks are minimal, and the heartbreak of having a child suffer through an illness that is preventable would be worse. 4. If you have children are they immunized? and why did you choose to immunize them? I am planning on immunizing my children. Unfortunately I do not produce the antibodies to the rubella virus (have had it 3 times, twice as a child and once as an adult) and would never subject my children to the risk, nor would I go through what my parents suffered through. 5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunized within the community? Yes, children who are unimmunised carry a huge risk, and increase the risks of a child being infected by an illness before they are vaccinated and can produce antibodies.

It is not insignificant when your own child has a reaction to the immunisations, my son was violently sick after all his vaccinations for months and has autism. I am not saying it caused his autism, I don't know that, but I can tell you how sick he was after.

| As a carer of adolescent males with autism residing in a supported accommodation setting, here are my replies. 1. should immunisation be compulsory? Yes 2. why do you think some parents are chosing not to immunise their children? Misinformation and disinformation from numerous unqualified sources, namely anonymous blogs, purporting to be experts in the the field, but in reality, are nothing more than alarmists. 3. Do you believe in immunisation? You asked the same question in (1) above in a slightly different way. Yes. 4. If you have children are they immunised? and why did you choose to immunise them? Yes. For their own wllbeing and protection against numerous diseases which the said immunisations are meant to do. 5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunised within the community? No...if THEIR PARENTS choose to for their children to be unprotected, well whose fault is it??

1.
5. Are you concerned about the risk associated with children that are not immunised within the community? No. I think there are many alternatives to traditional vaccinations. There are homeopathic vaccinations.
If they were benficial & had no side effects and were 110% guaranteed to be safe & effective in protecting you from contracting the disease, then that would be ok. But they aren't!
isnt homeopathy based on the idea that remedies for illness containing immeasurably small amounts of substances ( which in larger doses would cause the same symptoms as the illness) can have a positive effect on ill health? pardon my ignorance, but isnt that essentially the same principal as immunisation? infinitesimal amounts of the viruses put in our bodies so that we, so that our children, can develop antibodies and resistance to the real thing? we have the same thing with flu shots. u know, "prevention is better than cure"?its a personal choice for sure but personally i'd rather immunise any day of the week. also, life itself as we know it is not without side effects, absolutely nothing in life is 110% guaranteed to be safe and effective in protecting us from the world we live in, but we cant raise our children in bubbles! all we want to do is help our children to be strong and healthy and give them the best chance we can. Thats absolutely everyone's choice and there currently far more benefits that outweigh the risks. i dont believe the hype.
