• If you are hesitant to vaccinate your child, we welcome your discussion over this important decision. Please voice any concerns, and bring in articles that you have read that may have you concerned.
• Very well informed, educated people have made the decision NOT to immunize their children… and suffered the consequences.
• “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it, by example showing that the regret may be the same either way and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen." -Benjamin Franklin
• I had an up the street neighbor that I went to school with from preschool thru college!!! I know Gina Mia very well. One day a few years back we were both visiting our respective parents who still lived on our childhood street. I was at that time doing vaccine research and helping to bring to market several vaccines. I told Gina about that work. Tears then welled up in her eyes. “Mike” she said, “My son died from the germ that your vaccine is protecting kids against. It was so horrible to have him slowly die. I had to watch him bloat and turn purple and get black fingers and…and then my baby died. Please, please, please tell all your patients how horrible it is to have your child die from a vaccine preventable disease!”
