Vaccinations against God's will ?




Would you like to comment on yes or no vaccination of children against diseases? In the Netherlands under strict Protestants a little measles epidemic has broken out. In the Dutch newspaper Trouw (June 15th, 2013) stood a interview with a family whose children aren’t  vaccinated against anything. Actually I think the story of the parents wasn’t completely out of order?

I would like to comment on this.
W’ll start with:
The spiritual world is not supporting religions only.
The spiritual world is also supporting earthy Enlightenment.
The spiritual world is also supporting science.
The spiritual world is also supporting the development of medical science.

So a family not letting the children be vaccinated against malaria, polio, tetanus has the name to be old-fashioned and not to understand what God’s plans are with mankind. However, the spiritual world has a slightly different perspective.
Though the spiritual world is supporting science and medical development this does not imply mankind should follow doctors without any distinction.
Too many vaccinations against diseases so to speak can also have a contrary effect. Too many medicines may also act as poisons and may deplete the natural resistance. A healthy critical attitude to doctors can be a good thing. Especially nowadays where the health and the approach of diseases is very medicalized.

I ask this question to all parents: how do you raise your children? What mental and physical baggage are you giving them? Are you preparing them for life? And why should your children be vaccinated against all diseases? What are you afraid of?
But I also ask the question: how do you parents explain your child, if it has not been vaccinated against polio and then has got polio? What do you say to your child, if it is  lifelong disabled?
Parents need to ask themselves what is best for their children. And if they are deeply religious they should not say too soon God was willing to give their child polio. Because maybe God didn’t want it at all.

Time will come diseases can be cured in different manners than by preventive vaccination.
Time will come serious diseases hardly will occur, just because medical science has become that advanced.

And in this story is of value: parents shouldn’t presume too quickly everything is happening according to God's will, because God's will and  God's laws do not have to mixed up.
Getting stomach trouble by drinking too much coffee is happening according to the laws of God, but not according to God's will.
