Thanks so much! "Wow"Jenny McCarthy's stance and courage is awsome! what a wonderfully intellegent anti-vac schedule group I ever saw.  (BTW, my best friends dh saw his child in his first marriage end up with seisures and autism from Vaccines, he was against vaccines in the first place, but his parents and wife at the time were not and behind his back took the child to get vaccinated, and instead of one at a time, the doctors gave the toddler all of them at once, and that night and those days following the boy almost died from seisure after seisure, his  ex-wife now is against vaccines but this totally tore up their marriage and the father is still grieving, and unfortunately can't see his son for the beautiful person that he is, instead he is bitter about his ex and sees his son as "damaged" the boy is now 16, and is on all kinds of medications.  He does talk now, and is more like aspergers, and is actually very sweet just lacks understanding of boundries and other nuances.

Anyway, I got to get back to episode 2, I'm gonna leave a comment after each episode I watch, I just saw episode one, and frankly when the arguement happened in Episode 1, I thought the doctor provoked the argument that he accuses the other man of, and I thought the doctor over-reacted to the mans response.

I chose not to vacinate my children because in 1997 while transfering to UCF to finish off my BA degree, I was "required" to take a MMR booster.  I had nothing against vaccines, didn't know any contraversy, and couldnt imagine why anyone wouldn't want their kids vaccinated.  I had grown up as a child with full medical coverage (my father was in the navy) and a very medically oriented mom, anyway, I had my full scedule and already had all the MMRS in the past, so this booster meant that I was having more MMRs than the average person.  Well, I go to the health department and get the vaccine, and OMG immediately I feel like I am injected with some chemical that went straight to my brain and my brain feels like its on fire, and I start feeling  sensations of a panic attack on top of this, they take me to the back room, and I am suffering big time with my brain feeling like its burning, I never heard of such a thing, they put my head between my legs and I'm sobbing and emotionally feel like I'm going nuts.  I do recover, but shaken, and then this is before I have internet, I start researching to find out what the heck happened to me, and if this happened to any one else.  I start learning about brain injuries and autism. and I freak out, (more to this story, but I will save to tell some other time) anyway, I end up against the MMR, and have serious doubts about other vaccines.  Fast forward the next year, 1998, I get pregnant and have blood work done, and you know what, my blood work shows that I am not immune to Ruebella! (I'm told to get this vaccine as soon as baby is born) no thankyou! So on top of how I suffered and was potentially seriously injured, but thankfully it was minor, at least so far, I have also learned adult woman who get MMR are more likely to get arthritis. So far so good, but geez all that for nothing! well, at least I learned so my offspring who if a baby could have a more serious consequence than I had.

I left out when I was experiencing my vaccine reaction, while my brain was on fire, I couldnt' stand to have my eyes open and it was like I was blinded with a bright light or something, I can't fully remember, I just remember my brain feeling like it was burning, me crying and panicing and not being able to see but I felt like it was the fire of my brain burning.  Anyway, I haven't met anyone that has had my reaction, but I think this is because the usual recipent of the vaccine can not articulate their experience.  for years, I thought the panic attack was the chemical reaction creating the panic sensation.  Now I don't know if  I naturally was in a state of panic because I was having a weird reaction that I didnt' understand and was frightened by.  Either way it was "a bad trip" as they say in the drug world
