Innoculation the battle over babies

So it nears the time and though I did not get my other two children vaccinated. It was because my ex-wife and I believed similar things. My new partner is a health professional AND INSISTS SHE WILL TAKE OUR CHILD TO BE VACCINATED. She will not read any of the websites such as the “informed parent” as she says they are unbiased as they campaign against vaccines.

If I find something with research and stats say against the DPT vaccine she will not look.

I am scared for my little daughter, perhaps everything will be alright, and she will not be ill, have convulsions and all will be well. Perhaps I and my children (all unvaccinated) will die of tetanus or small pox.

What can I do, what might I say to persuade or show her another side.Â Why am I so frightened of the vaccine but not of the illness. Why don’t I trust Doctors, the pharmaceutical industry, medical research and so on. I trust my gut instincts some vague anti immunization research and a thousand websites and people saying their children were damaged.

Do we now live in a time when life in the western world is os good we can live clean healthy lives and see vaccinations as an evil. I am confused. If she (my partner takes my daughter to be immunised and she is damaged, what should i do? To whom can I turn, tell me your story, lend me your advice…what do you think I want to hear your comments.
