Garrett's Spots are just about gone!  Yeah.....so I'm wondering if it was Chicken Pox....he was vaccinated, and broke out about 2 weeks after the vaccination,  and now this....but this was definetly NOT an allergic reaction to the medicine he was on...I've seen allergic reactions, and this just was not one.....I guess we'll have to wait and see if Isabella breaks out (she's the only one I didn't vaccinate, and I won't).  I never did get a straight answer fromt he Dr as far as how effective the vaccine is, or if/when he will need a booster shot.....

Sadly, if I knew then what I knew now, I would NOT have vaccinated them against the chicken pox.   At the time, I was told they HAD to be vaccinated to go to school, and I had not yet made up my heart to homeschool the boys....

You can follow this link to read more about the Chicken Pox vaccine....now I know, it can be argued that we have made some great advances in medicine due to the use of embryonic cells, but that is not up for debate with me....I FIRMLY oppose abortion for any reason.....whether a person believes in God or not, God put that child within the mother for a reason, and if HE didn't want it there, HE would not have allowed HIS will to be done.  

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,..."

Isaiah 45:12 "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. "

The following article is a direct publication by the makers of the vaccine, Merck.  The first paragraph descibes how the vaccine was developed.

The sad thing behind these vaccines is that we are not told the whole truth.  The fact that it is made using  human embryonic lung cell cultures.  one reason I believe we are not being told this is because MANY parents would NOT allow the vaccination with this information.  Upon reseraching this further, I am appauled to find many more vaccines have been created using embryonic cells....

The good thing is that some alternatives are being offered at this point.....

I could not however find information about an ethical alternative for the Chicken Pox vaccine....
