What Makes A Child Cry? Injections
Overcoming Fear Of Needles
Wouldn't it be much easier to give a child of any age a sweet homeopathic pellet that melts in the mouth, with nothing but a drop of energy? You know I will burst out in song singing, "A Spoonful Of Sugar!" Adults love to have these basic emergency remedies on hand for all occasions. But, we wouldn't use them to overcome fear of vaccination injection, because a child has good cause to fear. Not only does the needle hurt, but some nasty ingredients will be forced into the body where it doesn't belong in a wholly unnatural way.
I can understand fear of pins when my mother used to sew us our clothing. She would have a pin cushion, but more likely she gently held those pin in her mouth between her lips. And, if ever they dropped, we could easily step on them because they would blend into the carpet or roll along the floor.
I can honestly say the doctor had to run around the examining table trying to catch me when it was time to get a booster shot in the buttocks as a child. I guess a dose of silica would have made it a bit easier to catch me. Afterwards, a sweet pellet of Ledum palustra for puncture wounds would have soothed the painful swelling and hard tissue.
Brilliant Mind Control
Everyone wanted the Betsy Wetsy doll that would pee when you fed the bottle. It made perfect sense and a little girl could learn to mother, realize how the body functioned and have fun all at the same time.
The idea that a toy manufacturer would design a doll that cries real tears as the mother gives a injection might be considered unusually cruel. Could this be an attempt to prepare a child for a career in nursing? Could this be the preparation stages for mass vaccination efforts across the country? Can this be a form of mind control to build character? I'm told that enduring momentary pain is part of modern medicine in order to build a healthy immune system and protect us against contagious disease. I do believe that we build character when we learn self control, delayed gratification, courage and ethical behavior.
How Wrong Can It Be?
The photo above shows the mother able to give the injection with a smile (knowing she is doing something 'good') while not showing compassion for injuring and hurting her child. How will a child feel when the toy baby cries? How do we expect it to feel and what happens when they begin to question? Is this just like toilet training with a form of propaganda for little girls. Will they be producing a boy version in the future? About to be on store shelves, the Tomy brand doll named "Yume-Chan" opened at a Tokyo exhibition. On the flip side Toys’R’Us produced a doll that cursed. Unhappy parents voiced their opinions. Do these trends tell us something about the loss of morality and compassion in our society today?

Vaccinations are not mandatory in Japan. Parents may choose not to vaccinate. They are strongly recommended to do so. Perhaps these dolls are to train the parents as well as children to accept and expect these schedules.

----------------------Notes on the Japanese Vaccination Process-------------
Immunizations
"Preventive inoculations (immunizations) for diphtheria, whooping cough, measles and Japanese encephalitis are given at the Public Hygiene Section of municipal offices. The fee and kinds of
immunizations available depend on the municipal office. Foreign residents need to present their Certificate of Alien Registration. "
Vaccinations In Japan
"There are 2 ways of taking vaccinations in Japan - Regular vaccinations that the government encourages and Optional ones that the parents' decide to give in addition to the regular ones. "
"4 months old children are vaccinated against BCG and Polio at 4 months-old check-up in the Public Health Center."
--------------------------U.S. Vaccination Guidelines------------------------------
U.S. Vaccination Schedule dated 2000
Includes:
*diphtheria
* whooping cough (pertussis)
* tetanus
* polio
* measles
* mumps
* German measles (rubella)
* chickenpox (varicella)
* hepatitis B
* HIB (haemophilus influenzae type B)
* pneumococcal diseases
"In most of the United States, many of these vaccinations are required for school or day care.
--------------------------Guideline Differences------------------------------------
I. Vaccinations recommended in Japan but not in the United States
a. Tuberculosis
b. Japanese Encephalitis
II. Japanese guidelines do not include the following vaccinations that ARE recommended in the United States:
a. hepatitis B
b. HIB (haemophilus influenzae type B)
c. chickenpox (varicella)
However, Japan does note that the following vaccinations are optional, but available:
"Optional vaccinations (Charged): Influenza, Mumps, Chickenpox, B-type Hepatitis"
Aside from these differences, the timetables for the common vaccinations are similar. The DPT guidelines are almost the same. The Polio guidelines are different, with the U.S. requiring 3 shots early (as opposed to 2 in Japan) and one at 4-6 years old, whereas Japan makes no recommendation of a Polio vaccine beyond 18 months.
For measles and rubella , the U.S. recommends a booster shot at 4-6 years old, whereas Japan just recommends 1 shot between about 1-2 years.
The differences in these guidelines are primarily due to the varied risks of disease spread in these two different regions. The inclusion of TB and Japanese Encephalitis vaccinations in Japan are primarily because there is a greater risk of spread of these diseases in that country.
TubercuIosis
"The number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) is decreasing compared to past years.
TB is less of a threat in the United States,and because of the potential risk of side effects from the vaccine, it has not been included in the recommended guidelines.
Hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae and chickenpox are more prevalent in the U.S. than in Japan.
It was noted by one source that Japan changed the start time of vaccinating for DPT from 3 months to 2 years because of a potential correlation between the vaccine and SIDS.
