Why people have to spend their time being nasty is beyond me.

Thank you for sharing the article.

I say each to their own, I do vaccinate my kids.
my oldest just got her 4 year old needle and she did have a reaction this time, I was confused because she has had the vaccine before when she was younger but she ended up with a swollen welt on her arm at the injection site about the size of the palm of my hand and as the days go on the redness has spread with gravity and gone down her arm about 4cm past the edge of the swollen lump.
I did end up taking her to the hospital and it was a mild infection, but I think I’d rather know that I might be able to stop my child from getting a horrible illness where she would be uncomfortable, sore, itchy, feverish and could possibly die if not treated right.
doctors don’t always get it right the first time and we’ll you never know it could have been the life saving decision.
with the vaccines they have been tested before giving them to kids and if it has a mild side affect that’s okay if it means it could stop things before it happens.
you never just know things could always take a turn for the worse when you get ilp

there will always be haters – do what is best for your family

I can’t even begin to understand how Rebecca is coping with the nasty degrading comments some people have made ? Hopefully there are no more in the inbox. Maybe she should log in, then get somebody trustworthy to read them and delete the nasty ones. You don’t need the extra stress and heartbreak in your life., nor doe you want your very ill baby to pick up on your body language. Some nasty comments may even be reportable to the Communications Onbudsman or suitable authority. The Police would probably like to research the origin of some of them if they are deflamatory. Rebecca if you need counselling please seek it. Don’t let them destroy your life. I hope your beautiful baby makes a quick full recovery.

Wow each to their own as it is such a powerful subject. We all need to remember we all are different and want and give our children different things

She should be able to share her story without being attacked online

A friend of mines child has just had whooping cough fortunately she DID have the vaccine so she would have been worse if she didn’t but you wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I really hope Rebecca’s son starts to make a quick recovery.

Go Rebecca! I hope that if I’m ever in a similar situation then I manage to be even as half as brilliant as her!

Poor baby. I hope he will recover completely.

It’s indeed sad that people feel to start an argument about whether to vaccinate or not with a mum with a very sick child. So sorry for this mum/family and their child that they have to go through this. They made the right decision to go private

This poor lady and baby. Unless the anti vaccers have a medical reason their child can’t ‘ve vaccinated, they should keep vaccinate their kids.

How on earth can anybody be mean and nasty at a time like this. What is wrong with people. This is the absolutely perfect scenario for why children and adults need to be vaccinated for whooping cough. The Anti-Vaxxers should hide in shame and pray that their children never experience something so horrible.

Vaccinations are so important. It’s just awful hearing of stories like this. I would have been so upset if mine had become sick from unvaccinated others. Whooping Cough is such an awful thing _ I remember hearing it in a sick child who lived near us as a child. Sincere sympathy for this family.

If you want to send comments about Whooping Cough Vacine to a mum who has a very sick baby in hospital please go to your local hospital & watch a baby suffering first. I had whooping cough myself 2 years ago (apparently the vaccine wears off in adulthood) & I
was sick as a dog for 3 months & exhausted from coughing all day & night so tiny babies suffer a million times more & lord help the family watching & praying for them. So I repeat if you feel the need to send a suffering family more suffering go watch a tiny baby suffer first there are plenty of them at the moment & then decide how much more pain you want to inflict. Remember also what we give we usually receive. Wow you should get some great joy soon don’t you think?

VACCINATION IS A MUST! Tell all those anti vaxxers to go and bag their heads! tHEY ARE FULL OF IT!

Are we all not Mums who care deeply for our children and understand the fear and can sympathise with Rebecca and her family at this time. Regardless of your views stop for a minute and put yourself in her shoes – no one should have to watch their child in pain or suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you Rebecca. Maybe your precious son recover quickly.

If you can then get your child all their needles, it does help then in the end. My 3rd child had a bad reaction to the Whopping cough vac ( he was put into hospital for the night), so my decision was to stop it for him. This little bit might had helped him later when he got a muted form of it. That is my problem and I have to live with it. all my other children were done correctly. To criticize someone for stating the truth is so wrong and I hope that Rebecca’s son gets well without any problems.

I can’t believe the archaic views of people – anti vaxxers – it is ridiculous!
You go girl, I’m praying for your little boy to heal quickly x
