NicoChristian wrote:Is it good for children to be vaccinated? Here I was told that vaccinations are not obligatory, but me and my wife are deciding whether or not to have vaccinations. I believe that good hygiene and cleanliness are essential to avoiding diseases and a lot of diseases have pretty much been eradicated anyway. In Russia people are still given smallpox vaccines despite smallpox being long gone. I was given tuberculosis as a baby, because it's policy in Finland, I've also had other vaccinations as a child. Still I think good health and hygiene are more effective than vaccines and often vaccines can do more harm than good. I'd like some feedback on other people's experiences. I often thought that Europeans have a lot of natural immunities anyway, as all Europeans are descendents of bubonic plague, smallpox and other disease survivors. That's why a lot of diseases don't decimate our populations anymore as we have lots of natural immunities.
Need advice.

NicoChristian wrote:I was given a tuberculosis vaccination when I was born so I had no choice in the matter. I know that I'm immune because when I was in secondary school they did tests to check immunity to TB and mine came up positive. I was vaccinated in Finland at birth, but went to school in England where vaccinations are done in teenage years.
