MMR All Or Nothing Says Merck
(I also think the vaccines cause the diseases they are meant to prevent and that the side effects and risks are worse than the diseases themselves.)
Needless to say, many parents take a middle of the road approach and adjust the current recommend vaccine schedule to something a little slower, a little saner and a little more spread out. One of the biggest targets of selective or delayed vaccinations has been the controversial MMR vaccine which many parents claim injured their child irreparably.
Up until now, parents have been able to elect to have the vaccine administered in separate components over a longer period of time since nobody knows exactly what is causing the injury and some experts suspect that it is the combination of three vaccines in one (plus all the toxins, chemicals, heavy metals and preservatives) that assault the tiny system and cause permanent injury.
In the middle of the controversy and the increased number of parents who are delaying vaccinations, adjusting vaccine schedules or simply foregoing vaccines altogether, Merck decided to stop manufacturing the individual components of the MMR vaccine. Apparently they are not planning on manufacturing the individual vaccinations again until 2011.
You can sign the petition, “Moms for Separated MMR Vaccines” to make your voice known if you think this is a load of crap (like I do). The prewritten personal statement in the petition includes:
“I am extremely troubled, disappointed and angry at Merck’s decision to discontinue production and sales of the monovalent measles (Attenuvax) and mumps (Mumpsvax) vaccines. It seems that the logic behind such a move is based on simple profitability concerns.
I am asking Merck to revoke their decision right now, not 2011 when they will supposedly begin manufacturing the monovalents again. There has been no medical studies proving that separation causes more harm than the combined doses. There are however thousands of parents who claim harm from the combined dose.
Parents make choices to protect their children and having an “all or nothing” choice is none at all.”

You are a deeply ignorant person, who would do better by children by gaining a basic education before holding forth.
Dear Peter Timmins,
I am not calling you names based on your vaccination beliefs. Feel free to come back and comment if you have something useful to add to the discussion.
Hi,
I just started reading your blog and am very interested in reading more. I babywear, breastfed DD until she was 2, co-sleep (bed share), buy local/organic, etc, etc, etc.
On vaccinations, though, I listen to my pediatrician who says that there are no medical facts to prove that vaccinations cause disease or autism. I did delay/alternate DD’s vaccination schedule ONLY because she has strong reactions of fatigue. She has not yet received MMR, but she will. Chicken pox I am holding out until right before kindergarten.
My question to you is, will you be homeschooling?

I am planning to delay mmr vaccine for my baby until she turns at least 2. Is this a good idea?
Dear Amanda,
There are also no scientific facts to prove that vaccinations do NOT cause autism. I am MUCH more afraid of the vaccines themselves than the diseases they allegedly prevent.
What you have shared on this post is really helpful. People will now have an idea about the MMR vaccine. Whatever side they may be, whether they agree to MMR vaccine or not, the good thing is that you have shared your idea here. Thanks for sharing a very nice post
You have got to be one of the dumbest people I have ever had the displeasure of encountering.
Dear Ema Nymton,
Merck fan, huh?

She’s not the only person concerned for her childs health and who is unwilling to be a sheep.
I got mumps last year and it was really very painful. I have to take some pain killers to ease the pain. ‘;

The design of clinics into daycares has become more and more popular. Clean and controlled centers to administer these type of shots ans also to separate those kids that become infected until they can be picked up. These rooms should always have their own ventilation system.

Sheryl,
Do you mean MMR vaccine is not safe at all? That’s nasty fact i think.
Do you not allow your girls to have any vaccinations. What about Rubella to prevent German measles when pregnant causing severe problems to the baby, maybe even death?
well, I wouldn’t beleive everything Merck says…
I read you blog and it makes sense. I am worried on having vaccination to my little ones because me, when I was a child I am scared of the doctors because the vaccination. Vaccination can also give trauma situation to a child.
Chicken Pox can cause massive scarring of the skin that may not clear, that’s bad’*-
not vaccinating is fine as long as you do not have the nerve to take my child’s life into your hands by sending your children to daycare or school or ANYWHERE. You are relying on the masses who do get vaccinated to hopefully protect your child from getting one of the diseases.
If there were massive outbreaks of Measles, Mumps, or Rubella, I bet you would get your child vaccinated. My friend in high school died from the Measles, (her parents did not vaccinate). It is sickening to see some people in this country shun what so many other people in developing nations could only hope to have access to.
MMR vaccine is considered to be a healthy vaccine because you will be able to prevent the occurrence of different diseases.
Great site! I come here all of the time! Keep up the great work!
mumps is so damn painfull that i don’t wanna hear about :”
chicken pox is nasty, it can leave blisters on your skin;:,
mumps do really suck, it hurts so much .:;
mumps infected me last month and this is a very painful disease, my jawline were all swollen ::
MMR is a painful horiffice disease we should all vacanate are children within the time scale to stop a national epidemic..find aid for sleeping at http:www.sleepingpills.me.uk a useful site for sleep problems purchases available….
Yeah.. What you told here I s right only lol! But have you ever thought of parent’s dilemma? If they do not vaccinate their children and if the children get a disease like polio, they face a lifetime of grief and guilt ri8?. There are legal issues that can also accrue. The state may take charge of the children and the parents can face imprisonment in some countries. Do you have any say on that now? Ty.
This is such a help, because getting to the disease is such a pain that can you never imagine…sigh
