Guest LB Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 There has been lots written, inconclusive medical studies and so on....So the question of the day is Would you give your children the MMR jab or would you choose to have it were you a child?

Redhat Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I had it at birth (Im 14). Hasn't affected me at all thnx God, but I do think it can be very tedious and confusing for parents when every 5 seconds an 'independant' and un-heard of organisation releases 'research'.

Guest LB Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 you say it hasn't affected you but you visit here and mix with the likes of Nellie, Tankus and Andsome....surely that indicates some sort of mental affliction.And you support Luton Town... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyhanger Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Ah............MMRI suppose you are referring to the POSSIBLE link to autism.I also suppose that I have first hand experience of it to.Two of my sons Jethro (30) and Scott (15) have it in the form of aspergers syndrome.Jethro is the worst, but never had the mmr, it wasn't out then. He has the mental age of a 3year old. Scott is very intelligent, especially with computers, but has a host of other complaints. Apart from the autism, he has severe bowl disorder. He has just under gone an A.C.E. operation which is like a colostomy. A symptom very common with autistic kids, who have had the mmr vaccine.Scott was one of the first to have it 14-15 years ago.My youngest daughter has not had the vaccine on recommendation from our local doctor and Scott's specialist doctors at the hospital.I have always advocated that " I think it has nothing to do with the MMR", but recent talks with specialists make me think otherwise.Would I back the jab. I honestly don't know. Having one son get autism 15 years before the jab came out. Difficult.I honestly pity theses parents that have to make a choice. If I really HAD to make a decision, then I would say yes do it. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nellie2 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 My daughter had the MMR and she was ok........but if I had to make that decision again, then I really don't know. I think I would prefer her to have them seperatley if it was possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I cannot understand why the choice of single or multiple vaccination is not available free on the NHS. When you consider how much money is wasted on unnecessary tiers of middle management, if some of that was removed the extra cash would be there. Lets do away with multiple managers in hospitals doing the work which was once done by one or two people at the most. Lets do away with the free cars that many of these hangers on use. Lets do away with much of the form filling and paper work that no one reads. A friend retired as an auxiliary nurse recently, she said that at least two to three hours of her day were spent on paper work or entering data onto a computer, instead of on the ward.

Tony Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 HiMy 5 year old boy has had the MMR jab. He was born in England and spent his first 18 months there. He is fine.My 3 year old girl was born in Germany and we are going to have the jabs done seperatly. (they do that here).Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 TonyThis is precisely my point. You have a choice and have made it accordingly. Blair does not give us a choice, but never did deny that he chose to PAY for separate vaccines, because of course he can afford to pay, while millions more cannot.

Guest LB Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 my girlfriend has colitis - the toned down version of Chrones disease - that is also linked to the MMR jab. She was given separate injections as a baby.......When our son was born we had no hesitation in giving him the combined jab and so far, touch wood, he has had no sign of anything being wrong.
