Choosing Not to VaccinateChoosing Not to Vaccinate

About Choosing Not to Vaccinate

When I joined CafeMom I noticed that a lot of mothers did not vaccinate their children. I felt so alone in my decision and as though there should be a place where Moms who choose to go against the norm, think for themselves, and have the bravery to make such a tough decision could talk openly and freely without persecution and to educate other open-minded women about the dangers of vaccinating and help those looking for answers. This is our safe haven. This is where you can feel free to speak openly about your decisions regarding NOT vaccinating without anyone trying to convince you that what you are doing is wrong. On the same token ALL questions are welcome - even from those mothers who do vaccinate and are just curious. (Any and all members who are disrespectful about the choices of others - vax or nonvax - will be removed immediately.)
Your intuition has led you here - led you to your decision, led you to question what is right, led you to this group. I am proud of you for your strength, courage, knowledge and power to follow your intuition in the face of adversity. It’s a long hard path choosing what’s right for our children and I commend you for doing a great job. If you are a Mom who is still deciding what to do about vaccines trust your instincts - by being here you already know that it’s trying to tell you something. Follow that voice, follow your heart, listen to what it is trying to tell you - it will always be right. By trusting it you are making the right choice, no matter what anyone else has to say.
Our group is growing every day! We have pediatrician members, nurses, chiropractors and many other health professionals! I feel so much stronger now in my decision not to vaccinate b/c of this wonderful group.
(If you disagree with the CHOICE not to vaccinate please do not apply.)

There is to be no disrespect of the choices and opinions of others! If you are here for information I'm glad we have caught you're attention but, if you disagree with others choosing not to vaccinate their own children then you should not be in this group. If I see that anyone is harassing anyone else or making anyone in this group uncomfortable I will promptly remove you from the group. This is not a place of judgement or criticism or getting anyone else to accept your views. This is a place where if you need to vent you know that you can do it in a place where people can relate to the way you feel.This is a place of openness and respect and positivity. And hopefully a place you come when you need someone to uplift your spirits. 

Everyone is to respond respectfully to every post in this group - even if you disagree. And if you find it difficult to respond with respect then DO NOT RESPOND!! There will be no drama in this group, it's that simple. Please remember that everyone is doing the best they can with what thye've got. It's not OK to respond to anyone with harsh tones or unkind words. These posts will be deleted immediately and the members involved removed. All posts with abuse reported posts will be deleted immediately - no questions asked. The entire post will be gone if one member responds disrespectfully to another member - period. I will not be represented as a group with drama.

POLITICS - Any and all debates about politics will be deleted by admin staff right away, no questions asked. This is not a debate group - there are plenty out there if you wish to join one. I don't have time for tattle tale posts in my inbox every day "She called me a  _____!" so any debates about politics will be deleted.

 State your own opinions as opinions please.
Please ladies, NO ONE should write any factual information about vaccines or their ingredients unless you provide a reference link or book where other Moms can find the same info you are providing. You do have to cite everything you say concerning stats and numbers in reference to vaccines. (past posts may not have this b/c it used to not be a rule). I fear that some Moms in other groups might be misinforming others and using scare tactics. You will be removed if you are stating facts that are not true in this group. We who have it, are here to provide information to mothers who are questioning vaxing. They are perfectly capable of making their very own decisions based on facts - not just on what they heard from someone else. There is enough scary info on vaxes - we do not need to make them sound any worse than they already are.
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO POST ANY REPLIES OR POSTS THAT DO NOT HAVE PROPPER INFORMATION AND LINKS OR BOOK TITLES CITED!! I want us to stop the rumors about vaxes - not start new ones. I am not saying you need to cite everything you say but please don't quote stats or numbers or info about other regions or anything like that with out citing where your info came from.

Please read the FAQ post in our group BEFORE sending me a private message with questions regarding vaccines. I have answered most questions in that post because I get tons of messages every day with the same questions over and over. Please feel free to message me if I have not answered your question in the FAQ post. I do want everyone's questions to be answered.

PROFANITY - All posts with profanity directed toward another member here will be promptly deleted, no questions asked. Should you use profanity otehrwise, not directed at any member of the group, please be kind and lable your post in the title with "(language)" or something similar. I personally don't care if anyone curses and I curse all the time and being able to vent is important but there are people who get offended and would like to just skip posts that have profanity. So please respect their requests to know which posts will have fowl language.

 Thank you very much! ~Jenn~ (Group Owner)
