vaccines
here’s a little ditty i wrote about vaccines to the tune of jolene, by dolly parton:
doctor's office waiting room on "shot day"
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines,
i’m begging of you please don’t hurt my bird.
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines,
it’s hard to sift through everything i’ve heard.
your protection is beyond compare
shielding us from rubella’s snare
all for little more than an infant’s scream.
some say you make kids autism prone
when you mix with testosterone
are your effects really this extreme, vaccines?
they fight about you in the news
but the parents are the ones who lose
your truth is so evasive, damn vaccines.
so once a month we have “shot day”
according to a schedule that is delayed
tripling our trips to the doc for mean vaccines.
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines
i’m begging of you please don’t hurt my bird.
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines,
it’s hard to sift through everything i’ve heard.
no parents’ day out or church nursery
for a kid without immunity
you can’t fully join society without vaccines.
i had to have this talk with you
since last week i gave in to you
we faced the dreaded MMR, vaccine
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines,
i’m begging of you please don’t hurt my bird.
vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines,
it’s hard to sift through everything i’ve heard.

Very nice, Mary. We too took the delayed route, not so much out of mercurial fears, but out of respect for the natural development of immunity. Y’know what? They survived 😉

Mine are 13 and 15 and I did the delay as well – wanted to make sure there were no allergic reactions to each vaccine and not overwhelm their little systems. We were extra fearful with Celia… she did fine – the pre-existing conditions did not worsen after the shots. I believe the newest literature from the last 2 years disputes the autism connection…however the power of the pharma world is huge and I will always wonder what is real and what is coverup.
