MMR jab side effects ???? Posted: 05-29-08 18:16pm
I have my eldest daughter booked in
tomorrow for the MMR jab but i am
cancelling it due to being so scared about
what I have heard from other families and
what I have read.aparently there is a link
that says that MMR can kill and sometimes
it can kill years later and when an
autopsy has been done they found it to be
soley down to this three in one vaccine.
What do you think?? How do you feel?? Have
you said yes or no to MMR??
This is the site which tells you about MMR
and the risk of death

I've had both my children vaccinated with
MMR. I would do it again. People forget
(and are wrongly told) why we don't have
these diseases anymore. We are vaccinated
against them. In countries where they
aren't vaccinated against measles, they
still get measles.

I will be having my daughter vaccinated
with the MMR. For me the risks of the
vaccine are less than the risks of what
would happen if she caught the diseases.
There has been a rise in cases of measles
in London since the ate 90's when these
research papers came out - I am not
prepared to expose my child to that when
current medical research and guidelines
show the vaccine to be safe.
The link you provided isn't working for me
but I've not heard about it causing death,
the main controvosy was a supposed link
between the MMR and autism (current
medical opinion/research does not find any
link - if you want any links on this try
the WHO or Dept. of Health (UK) - I know
the nhs website also has a link to many
studies done on the risks/links to other
problems with the MMR).

The above link states the correct risks
associated with the MMR vaccine. I'll list
them here for you.
Quote:
RISKS
Most people who receive the MMR will have
no associated problems. Others may have
minor problems, such as soreness and
redness at the injection site or fevers.
Serious problems associated with receiving
the MMR are rare.
Potential mild to moderate adverse effects
include:
Fever (1 in 6 children)
Rash (1 in 20)
Swollen glands (rare)
Seizure (1 in 3,000)
Joint pain/stiffness (1 in 4, usually
young women)
Low platelet count/bleeding (1 in 30,000)
Severe adverse effects may include:
Allergic reaction (less than 1 per
million)
Long-term seizure, brain damage, or
deafness (so rare that the association
with the vaccine is
questionable)
Now I'll post the dangers of the diseases
this vaccine helps prevent.
Quote:
Measles is a
virus which causes a rash, cough, runny
nose, eye irritation, and fever in most
people, but can also lead to pneumonia,
seizures, brain damage, and death in some
cases.
Mumps virus causes fever, headache, and
swollen glands, but can also lead to deafness,
meningitis, swollen testicles or ovaries,
and death in some cases.
Rubella, also known as the German Measles,
is generally a mild disease, but can cause
serious
birth defects in the child of a woman who
becomes infected while
pregnant.
Please do more research before you make a
decision out of fear. These diseases are
very scary and REAL. I have so far found
no link between the MMR vaccine and death.
There is death associated with these
diseases though. The only danger they
mention is autism, and they've found no
link between them.

I plan to vaccinate Mika against them if
my doctorthinks that it is safe due to me
having epilepsy. Personally i wouldn't be
able to handle the guilt if she was to get
one of those illnesses because i read a
few stories with not alot of evidence on
the internet
