May. 8th, 2006 07:48 pmWednesday is the dreaded six-month checkup, at which Topie is supposed to be shot full of vaccines. I'm reading all I can, and the more I read, the more certain I am that no one is coming near my child with a needle. No way.
I'll post some of the things I'm reading later. I'm trying to absorb it all with a clear head, which is difficult because it's such a controversial and emotional issue. Fear is used on both sides of the argument, and I'm tyring to get past that. Do I want to be afraid because the pediatrician's friend died of whooping cough because she couldn't afford the vaccine? Do I want to be afraid because of this other side?
This is insane. I just want facts. FACTS.
