Today, for the second day in a row, I was constantly abused, yelled at, insulted, and berated by my wife for "endangering our child's life." I took her to the doctor for a vaccination and flu shot yesterday. FML

Bitches be crazy. Seriously. It drives me nuts when parents consider all vaccines to be harmful. There's a reason they need vaccinations to go to school.

If i was married and my wife didn't want her to have vaccinations or flu shot I'd probably ignore her as well. I'd rather my child be safe.

What did you do today to apparently do today to 'endanger your child's life?' Or was she still yelling at you from yesterday? I'm sorry your wife is a psychopath. Just remind her she isn't doing any better by not taking your daughter to get vaccinated

She was right. There is no evidence vaccines even work. I never get vaccines and I haven't been sick in 2 years. Take your children to a chiropractor.

Yeah I mean its not like smallpox was vaccinated to extinction (except for a few lab samples). Dumbass

...wait, why should the kids go to a chiropractor?

119, I never wore a seat belt as a kid and was never seriously injured in a car crash. That doesn't mean that seat belts are unnecessary, it just means that I got lucky. You never got vaccines or sick and you got very lucky. A friend of mine's parents were anti vaccine and he got the measles and because of that he's sterile. My stepson's grandmother got polio and was in a wheelchair until the day she died. They also got off lucky since both those diseases could have killed them.

OP, How dare you safeguard your child against potentially fatal illnesses. No, wait I meant well done protecting your daughter.

of course she'd be upset. if you actually read the reports that come out, most vaccines increase your risk of being sick + they put other shit in it to cause cancer and ruin your auto ammune system. only the sheep following the herd actually get vaccination. people with no cognitive ability attal.

Oh I really hope DocBastard reads this. Lemme guess 9/11 was an inside job, Aliens did land at Roswell and Blood drives implant mind control chips. Man I hate conspiricy thorists.

Were you really too lazy to write out the word 'plus'? Also, get it through your head that nobody is purposefully shoving carcinogens into vaccines.

Vaccines like that are thought to cause serious mental illnesses such as asperges/autism etc. Personally I would only treat my child with natural vaccines that you find at a homeopath because I've heard some horrible stories and seen a few disaster cases. You probably should have discussed it with your wife first anyway. If you're having a needle stuck into your kid's arm, the mother deserves to know about it beforehand.

I think you need to use science rather than tabloid journalism to inform your choices. The link between vaccines and Asperger's Syndrome has been thoroughly discredited. It was based on one study, and the lead researcher was found to have falsified data, and has been stripped of his medical license. Search for "Wakefield and autism" for the details. Oh yes, and please research the scientific basis (not the pseudo-scientific basis) for homeopathy. Hint: there isn't one.

Sorry #127 but the supposed link between the MMR vaccination and autism was disproved fairly quickly. The doctor took a bribe to falsify data in his (extremely limited) study and has since been struck off the medical register. Sadly enough people believed him for there to have been a major upsurge in cases of measles, mumps, whooping cough and other serious illnesses. In the UK it is usual practice for all children to be vaccinated - that's literally millions of children vaccinated for free. If vaccines had such limited clinical benefit and any serious risk, I seriously doubt our cheapskate government would pay for it. Homeopathy however has been proven to be completely useless, with some "remedies" actually containing such a small amount of active ingredient it can be scientifically described as zero. Effectively a drink of water. If it has any effect at all, it's most likely to be psychological.

Homeopathy is not a synonym for "home remedy" - homeopathy is the discredited (by real science) hypothesis that dilution increases the effectiveness of the medication. It's absolutely junk.

The people in the comments really need to do their research on vaccines. Just because a doctor suggests it and it's legal does not mean that it's good for you. I've watched 3 very well done documentaries on vaccines and every single one of them had cases on people dying from a disease/illness AFTER being vaccinated against it. What people need to understand is that vaccines are money makers in the medicine industry. I remember when swine flu (H1N1) used to be a huge deal and everyone got vaccinated, but to this day I've only heard of 1 person actually dying from it AND that person had received the vaccination a few weeks prior. Do you research before you make a comment about how good vaccines are.

Vaccininations are in general good I think. This thing about MMR causing Autism/Asperger's is rubbish. I'm pretty sure the guy used very flimsy evidence that was later found to be tosh.

It was more than that. His paper was found to be so fraudulent that the journal that published it retracted it, the article's co-authors retracted it, and he was stripped of his medical license. And yet hundreds of parents are willing to bet their kids' lives on this liar's discredited theory.

this is the woman you chose to marry and procreate with?

People can believe what they want about vaccines. The real issue here is that OP and his wife didn't discuss this BEFORE they got married and had a kid. If a couple can't at least come to a compromise about basic parenting, they shouldn't even try it.

I know that people are going to thumb this down, but vaccinations are bad, well some are bad they have some nasty chemicals in those.
