The Chickenpox and many of the others they are coming up with are not needed. I got Pox from the children when I was in my early twenties. I did not have them as a child, nor vaccines of any kind. It damn near killed me but a lot of that was because the first doctor I went to sent me home to die because I did not have insurance. That guy was such a nasty prick and a terrible doctor that the community basically ran him out a few years later.I've always vaccinated my kids, just because of the life altering diseases they protected against. But my youngest two also received vaccinations for chickenpox and I couldn't really figure that one out. That one is relatively new. How many have had chickenpox & survived with no ill effects? I had them twice in my life. So I do question the need for some of the vaccinations because it takes away from the body's immune system to work properly. Same goes for the antibiotic craze. If you never get sick, your immune system gets lazy cause it's never called into action.......until you're hit with something major and you IS is totally unprepared & overwhelmed.
I've known a few that have had negative health issues from immunizations, but there is usually additional issues that played into it....like having been sick when they received the immunizations.
Chickenpox can be deadly when you are an adult but generally harmless for children.
