Safe or Unsafe?
The CDC states that Hepatitis B is a result of aberrant behavior. Is there any reason God-fearing parents would need to have their newly born child protected from this disease? Not if they are monogamous and do not use illegal drugs. This may make it into the top of my list of 1000 reasons why hospital births are unsafe and bad for mother and baby.
Most parents probably don't think their baby is at risk for HepB, but they haven't taken the time and effort to understand what a hospital is all about. Most people believe that whatever an authority figure wants to do is for their good. That's the way it's supposed to be. Why do we think doctors are to be trusted anymore than the rest of the population? Doctors know what they know based on what they've been taught in medical school. What do most children learn in public school about how everything came into being?
Jay Wile of Apologia fame may be a great textbook writer, but he must've been educated in a school environment where learning is about accepting what the medical community puts out as fact.
How sad that when given an opportunity to speak on the topic of vaccinations, he accuses the other side of deception instead of being balanced. Why not encourage parents to research on their own and to take their children's health and well-being into their own hands instead of assuming their doctor is always right? Why not caution against multiple vaccinations given together because it's too hard on our children's little bodies? Why not question the necessity of vaccines like Gardasil which go hand in hand with sex ed in public schools?
Our authority is Jesus Christ. In Him, alone, can we be free from the fear that this world makes us believe in.

I love Apologia, but their take on vaccines has often disturbed me. I cannot comprehend why they give a blanket approval on vaccines. Almost everyone I know who has gotten several children vaccinated, has experienced some complications from vaccines. It is so sad!
