[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 465570, member: 1233"] Janet, whomever told you that is an idiot spreading an old wives tale. The ONLY, absolute 100% ONLY, way you would give a child whooping cough by holding it to your chest would be f you HAD whooping cough and breathed on her. If that was true, if you were three feet away and coughed you would give her whooping cough. I am flabbergasted that a hospital employee would tell you this. Whooping cough is caused by germs, NOT NOT NOT by being held a certain way. You held your boys up to your chest, didn't you? Did they get whooping cough? If what you were told is true, then your sons, my kids, and about every baby on the planet would have whooping cough. Please reassure Cory and Mandy that thsi is about as true as stories about the Tooth Fairy. I truly HATE being around unvaccinated kids. I don't want them in my community, unless it is for medical reasons. Jess cannot take the gardasil vaccine - she got REALLY sick from it and we were told that it would be far worse with the second dose and her reaction means it is not safe for her. I wish it was safe for her. Other than that, my kids get ALL the vaccines. Period. Three years in a row I had to fight iwth the elem school about thank you's chicken pox vaccine. First they said he didn't have it because nurse did not know that varicella is the name for the disease - and what the pediatrician used on the record rather than using chicken pox. pediatrician was irate to have to send a letter explaning this, and apparently the nurse did it to enough kids (in letters that said you had two days to get the vaccine for your child or they couldn't come to school - doctor likes a week to do letters like this.) that she ended up fired for incompetence - it was the last straw in a hay bale of stupidity, Know what I mean??.
