[QUOTE="Malika, post: 465690, member: 11227"] I feel it's a difficult call. If a parent has genuine reason to believe and fear that vaccinations can cause serious damage, who can say what the "responsible" thing for that parent to do is...? It's a dilemma, surely, and I don't see how people can be accused of being selfish or irresponsible for witholding vaccinations because of this. I have a friend in Morocco who has a niece who is autistic, so everyone believes, because of the MMR. She has not vaccinated her children. It makes life difficult for her and them, though, because in various situations, vaccination certificates are required. You can't start school in France or attend any sporting activities without them. What I object to is not being warned of the ill effects. Jacob had the MMR jab in Marrakesh when he was about 2 (I think, but he's had so many vaccinations that frankly I forget what happened when). The paediatrician said nothing about any side effects - he was seriously ill with high fever for about 10 days afterwards. Then I read that that often happens... [/QUOTE]
