I previously responded to Julie's comments about not immunizing positively and I wanted to clarify that while I agree there can be risks to immunizing, both of my kids are immunized. I just think we need to be cautious, it is not black and white, there are some valid reasons not to immunize and I believe that damaged immune systems are a possiblity. I haven't myself really decided which is better. I know effects of these diseases can be devastating but living with a learning impaired child as a result of a reaction to a immunization isn't easy either. It just isn't shouldn't be thought of as a given or as completely safe. Once again educate, educate, educate! Ilene (boy I'm probably really getting the radical label)
