Bit scary if you ask me and certainly requires more research!!

Thoughts???

I think it would be great & i shall just leave it at that for now :)

sounds very scarey to me and I wouldn't do it.:no:

I am a non vaxxer anyway:)

Sounds like this will be a looooong way off if it's ever an option at all.

The nerve sheaths don't finish myelinating until 2 years old, the myelination is a crucial part of the development of the central nervous system. I haven't made a final decision yet, but if I do have DS vax'd it won't be until after his 2nd birthday.

And it says in the article:

His team will now carry out further studies to test this possibility in animals and eventually in babies.
I wonder who would allow this to be tested on their newborn baby???:no:

Im sure many parents who have newborns that have come down with illnesses that we vax for i would say would be one group of parents.
Watching a newborn with an illness that could be prevented through vaccination would make most parents ponder it.

i would want more info on the risks etc before i do it but it sounds like a good idea
