Thank you or posting this information. I’m a retired nurse that worked mostly in ICU until I became a school nurse while raising my family. I was astonished to find that in my small, Parochial school, outside the Beltway, that 30% of my students had chronic illness. Asthma, food allergies, other allergies such as bee stings or latex, ADD, ADHD, Alopecia, POTS or other mental illness just to name a few. I can’t tell you the percentage of children according to race but it is a multicultural area. I can only tell you that these people were educated and were middle class or above. I can also tell you that they frequently verbalized that these illnesses do not exist in their country. One little girl, parents from the Philippines, was allergic to all foods except rice, beef and broccoli.

It would be interesting to know what the Vaccine schedule is in other countries. I was always for vaccines until I saw these children and my own children, that have chronic illness. The new problem I see in young girls and women is thyroid conditions. I know personally six young women that have had to have their thyroid removed or are now taking thyroid replacement, including my own daughter. What is going on? I don’t know. I’ve been sick since 1975. I was 11 years old when I started getting large hives all over my body. Eczema and allergies followed. Severe itching in the sun. Headaches that made me vomit. I become allergic to kiwi. Vertigo that left me sick for days. They said it was hormonal. I wish I knew if this started after I received a vaccination.

My own experiences saved a little Chinese boy further allergy testing when he started to develop hives on his face outside at recess. He spoke only Cantonese but appeared fine. I told his mother I would watch him. The next day, the same thing happened. Urticaria caused by the cold…just like me. Cured with a scarf.

I'm never going near a vaccine again - period. I am thankful I am old enough that the vaccine schedule when I was a child was very limited. Ten years ago I had a tetanus shot when I cut myself and needed stitches, just because the doctor said so. Now I would say no thanks, I'll use some iodine.
