Hi there

[thekidsandme]

I'm a kiwi living in the US, was referred to this site by my freind 3monkeys :eek:, looking forward to finding out more about vacinations as I find it so hard to find objective information on vacinations as it is a decison that seems to get the emotions running in people.

We have two kids, and have chosen not to vacinate either. I have found NZ'ers more accepting of our decision, in the US it seems (so far) that they are a lot less accepting of your parental choice in the matter.

Happy New Year to you all

Happy new year to you, too, and welcome to this forum.

To get more info about vaccines read everything that's posted on www.insidevaccines.com/wordpress (http://www.insidevaccines.com/wordpress)

Good for you for not vaccinating your kids and following the sheeple mentality blindly.

Welcome! Yes the USA sucks when it comes to respecting parental choice in healthcare. Here Doctors are GOD!!! :eyeroll:

Hey there mykidsandme. Great to see you here. It will be interesting to see how you think the system in the US compares to the system here. Sometimes I am gobsmacked at the going ons over there and often wonder how long it will take to reach here.....

Hi mykidsandme :D

Nice to meet you. I don't know why the U.S. is so insane when it comes to medical care. That said, 5 generations of my family have mostly managed to dodge the bullet(s) at least part of the time, so it can be done.

Hi!
You raise a good point about the way parental choice is seen in the US. It is scary that we are where we are; at a place where the government's demands are more right than the parent's duty.

oiii, now to make this a light hearted greeting... Glad to meet you!
