Nope. But it helps knowing that I'm doing everything I can to protect my littlest guy.ParkerMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699831003510100066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-83543726568286806592009-11-06T20:02:31.535-05:002009-11-06T20:02:31.535-05:00Bravo!
I'm very much on the same page as yo...Bravo! <br /><br />I'm very much on the same page as you. Do I think my husband and sons and I can handle H1N1? Sure! But what about our 5-month-old baby. Who even knows if she has "underlying conditions"? I'm trying to get all of us regular flu and H1N1 shots - especially since my sons' daycare has already seen 2 cases of H1N1. <br /><br />I downloaded Dr. Sears Vaccine book to my kindle the day before my baby's 4-month appt and now I'm spreading her shots out a bit. I think it is prudent. <br /><br />My mom sent me an email warning me that people died from the H1N1 vaccine in the 70s. I did my research and calculated your chance of getting G-B and of dying from the H1N1 vaccine. Then I did the odds of dying from the flu (using the 36,000 as the amount of people who die from the flu each year). Your odds are much better with the shot. <br /><br />And the thing that really kills me is that the ones most susceptible to H1N1 are kids, which is the opposite of regular flu. It is our little ones at risk. Bring on the shots!Baccus Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261855979926488057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-55303573544794424772009-11-06T16:05:58.515-05:002009-11-06T16:05:58.515-05:00Jiminy crickets.

Oh, I have asked my Drs every time about links, And they sigh. They recite "There is no link.." They have created a fact sheet with additional resources for parents who ask. The most relevant moment for me was the woman who stepped down from Autism Speaks because her mind had changed, finally, and she just couldn't stand behind the organization's position anymore. And she has an autistic daughter. <br />http://www.newsweek.com/id/179998<br /><br />I'm pretty glad that I was born who I am, when I was. We are truly a better, safer society than we were a hundred years ago. I'm not burying my kids from the plague, eating fly covered meat in a tenement on the lower east side, I'm not wagon training. I feel pretty good about it.
