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?
Husband and I are healthier that (according to our doctors) the average people our ages (I'm 25 y/o). No Hep A, B, C, no mental illness, no weird genes that can pass down anything. Thanks for the cord recommendation, I'll added to my written list of requirements, so my midwife can sign it.
I have everything in writing and documented.
Delayed cord clamp is important
