A generation of stolen children

[celticdragonfly]

I saw a link today to this: http://buggydoo.blogspot.com/2005/07/i-am-very-sad-today.html
which really struck home with me. I followed her link to this:

Go read it. Really, read the whole thing.

It just makes me so sick and so sad. I have three children who fall into what they're describing as the "Thimerosal Generation". I've kept two of them safe. I wish I'd known more before the first one was born.

Say, about three years. I would actually like to look into giving Maggie certain vaccinations, now that she's past what I think is the most dangerous developmental period, IF I could give the ones I have read up on as being the most necessary and least dangerous, spaced out individually, with no mercury. I brought this up with our family doctor last month. I am out of luck. He is unwilling to do anything other than the standard official schedule (which, given that she's THREE YEARS OLD is impossible anyway), due to liability concerns. So I'm stuck. All or nothing. I am willing to judge the risks carefully and make a reasonable compromise - they are not willing to let me do so.

Or the third choice, fire your doctor and find another one. Don't let yourself, as Miles would say, fall in love with grave-narrow options. Finding another doctor could be hard, embarrassing, or time-consuming, but they exist.
