It's working Julia!!!

So, last night after work, I was spending some time on my facebook account - as usual. I was reading different posts from people who share most of my views on vaccinations - the pro's, the con's, the questions, the potential corruption with Big Pharma and the government, etc....and I got a post from a friend of mine, who, because of Julia and her situation with the vaccine injury, decided to postpone the MMR vaccine in her beautiful daughter. She did not say she was NOT going to EVER do it, which is fine, it is her decision, but because of Julia's story, she has decided to EDUCATE herself about the decision. That is exactly what I am trying to accomplish with this blog and with telling other's Julia's story. I want people to THINK and not just do it because they are "required" for school, or because it is what the dr tells them to do - like I did three years ago. This person is NOT the only one Julia's story has touched. There are two more people at work who are now questioning the vaccinations in their own children. They aren't saying they aren't going to do them, and that is FINE! But they are thinking and EDUCATING themselves about the issue. YIPEE!!! I was in contact with an old friend from Vet School yesterday, someone I haven't talked to in probably a year, who was asking MY ADVICE on vaccinations in her two daughters. I gave her my two cents, and recommended Dr Sears book - The Vaccine Book - to her so she can EDUCATE herself about the issues. IT IS WORKING JULIA! AND, just today, I treated myself to a massage and the massage therapist, for whatever reason, started talking about her two kids (age 12 months, and age 4 years old) and mentioned that she was new to the area, but needed to get her kids in to the pediatrician for their shots. She had scheduled an appointment with a man named Dr Stage - one of my old clients, AND the pediatrician of my friend who is waiting on the MMR vaccine for her daughter. I told the therapist she made a good choice on peds, and told her about Julia's situation, and told her that a friend of mine uses Dr Stage, and told her that as far as I know he is open to parental input on vaccinations. I asked the therapists to also read Dr Sears book and to go into the appointment educated and ready to ask questions - as BOTH her kids are due for the MMR this month. She was very interested and SHOCKED by Julia's story and is going to get the book tonight when she gets off work. We are doing it Julia! We are spreading the word that vaccines are not "Holy Water" and we are getting parents to THINK! That is all I want. If they decide to vaccinate - that is fine with me - not what I would do - but if I just made them THINK - I have accomplished my goal.
THANK YOU JULIA - if this happened to you for no other reason than to open parents eyes, and maybe save just one kid from your experience - we have accomplished a lot!

Love you girl!
