And now the Sunday Times has been ordered to take Brian Deer’s story off the wembmhm from the childhealthsafety website. isn’t this like referring to an article published on the Ku Klux Klan website as evidence that whites are superior?This matter can be resolved when the GMC makes its ruling, not by showing links to unbalanced websites. My study showed a direct link between vaccinations and food allergies. I assume your study is ethically conducted, internally valid, and will survive scrutiny by statisticians (including an appropriate multivariate technique that compensates for known confounding variables and provides odds ratios and confidence intervals). If so please provide a link or reference so we may follow it up (In fact it would be completely unethical not to submit such a study for publication).

We are proud parents of our 2-year-old dahtguer, Skylar. We opted to NOT get her vaccinated during all her routine scheduled vaccinations during her first 2 years. We are going to get her vaccinated when she is around 3, and we will then just have her vaccinated with a few we feel are most important. I, personally, have a compromised immune system. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at 26 (I am now 31) and I am suspected of having lupus as well. I was vaccinated in the 80′s full vaccinations. And, I had the Measles at 3 months old. I work in the field of Autism, but this wasn’t the reason we decided to undergo an alternative form of vaccinating our child. I breastfed Skylar for 1 year and feel she had the benefit of, not only my breast milk, but also antibodies from illnesses (such as the Measles & Chicken Pocks) PLUS she received the antibodies from my immunizations. I feel vaccinating your child is a very personal choice. And, just for example, my husband and I both let out a big NO for the Hepatitis vaccination when Sky was 1 day old. Just not something we felt like she needed. By and large, I am very concerned about vaccinations and their relationship to digestive concerns and immune health. Thus, waiting was a comforting compromise for us. As previously stated, there are a few vaccinations Sky will get, but overall, we are very cautions about her health/immune system given my history and I am convinced that we must all be our own best INFORMED advocates for our children.

Thanks JacobYour comment just seems to be a repaet of the misinformed views and scaremongering of Jeni Barnett that Ben Goldacre writes about. Id encourage you to read his report and the forums that follow the links he supplies carefully; the views you express are misinformed- they stem back to the media MMR scam which originated in the now discredited study by Wakefield.Not vaccinating children is ignorant and putting children’s lives at risk.You are right that there are many things we do not know: but what we do know is, MMR is safe, it has been successful at significantly reducing many serious and life-threatening childhood diseases.Unfortunately, you are merely repaeting some of the more ignorant aspects of post-modern culture, painitng science as the bogey-man out to kill us when, for all its flaws, many of us- perhaps me, perhaps you yourself- would not be alive without it.

Vaccine may be avoided to be administered to children. Mother’s milk, cow milk, buffaloe milk and sometimes donkey’s milk (practice in some part of India) recommended to enhance immunity among children. All disease mentioned above is curable if infected.

Dr. Varuna Mallya, please treat disease of children when infected. Avoid unnessary things in the name of vaccine, when child is healthy.
