I have been concerned for the past weeks as my delivery due date is getting closer. I know Polio can be letal for anybody, so I'm trap in a dilemma.
The current Polio Vax used in the States is the IPV (injectable) that contains MRC-5, while the more "ethical" OPV (oral) has long been discontinued.
I wouldn't want my baby to suffer due to polio in the future, however, the IPV (injectable) goes against my religious beliefs and is a clear catch from big pharma. They could have let the OPV one as an option, but they just wanted money.
Greedy bastards.
Any advices, alternatives?
There is no way to do an at home birth?
Apparently not at the moment, however, the midwife has agreed to not do any invasive procedure (injections included) on our baby as she can be liable for any injuries. Thanks to my husband's lawyer.
Excellent.
Praying for you and your little one. And your husband deserves thanks for setting up the legal stuff. If your midwife has to have doctor assistance for any reason, the doctor should be under the same agreement, as well!
