I'm sorry you were disturbed. It was disturbing writing it. I am disturbed every day adding to it. I'm disturbed every day living it. Be happy and glad you have had no reason other than reading this site to be disturbed because you can choose not to open it.  I’m not that lucky.

 My 28 week (gestational age) premature infant is receiving Synagis and it is NOT a vaccine.  It is a prophylaxis.  There is a huge difference. 

I wrote this in my opening sentence.

I am adding this information on the new RSV treatment since lately I have seen so many babies receiving this protocol. 

Notice I called this a protocol not a vaccine.

 If it was a vaccine it would not have to be given monthly, now would it? 

It would not surprise me. Dtap is given every 2 months for 6 months.  If it worked you'd need one shot.

 You may want to get your facts straight instead of spreading falsehoods on the internet to other new moms.  In fact, the very product information you posted clearly states it is not a vaccine, yet you continue to refer to it as one (from your site: "I found this article written before the vaccine was released to the general public.")  This shows you are not even understanding what you are reading and thereby posting. 

 Q: Is there an RSV vaccine available?
 
 At this date, there is no RSV vaccine available. However, there is an effective prevention product available. During the RSV season (Fall through Spring), simple monthly injections of Synagis® (palivizumab) provide protection against serious lower respiratory tract infections caused by RSV in infants and children at high risk for RSV disease. Your child's doctor can provide complete information about RSV prevention and Synagis®.
 

 FURTHERMORE, since it is not a vaccine, your quote here is irrelevant: " It’s known that the immune systems of very young children don’t respond vigorously to vaccination."

Its not irrelevant. Moms need to know this.

Abstract
Vaccination with the current live attenuated measles vaccine is one of the most successful and cost-effective medical interventions. However, as a result of persisting maternal antibodies and immaturity of the infant immune system, this vaccine is poorly immunogenic in children <9 months

Here is another article saying basically the same thing….

Newborn babies have immature immune systems, making them highly vulnerable to severe infections and unable to mount an effective immune response to most vaccines, thereby frustrating efforts to protect them. Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston now believe they have found a way to enhance the immune system at birth and boost newborns' vaccine responses.

In a study published in the online edition of the journal Blood on April 25, Ofer Levy, MD, PhD and colleagues in Children's Division of Infectious Diseases show that the newborn immune system functions differently than that of adults, but that one portion of the immune response is fully functional and can be harnessed to boost immunity in these tiny infants, possibly making infections like respiratory syncytial virus, pneumococcus, pertussis, HIV and rotavirus much less of a threat.
You can read the rest here… http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology-news/Boosting-newborns-immune-responses-2345-1/

its basically we don’t know how the immune system works but if you let us experiment with your babies we might find out…
 
 

Crowe was not referring to Synagis with the statements you posted.  In addition, there are RSV vaccines in the pipeline, but NONE on the market now.

I know…I make that clear right here…..

   My best friend's child was hospitalized with an RSV infection 2 years ago and nearly died.  RSV is contracted by almost all children, but can be deadly to preemies.  I did not want that to happen to my child.

Did your friend’s baby recently have a polio vaccine?

In 1956, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was discovered in chimpanzees [158]. According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, who studied more than 30,000 pages of medical papers dealing with vacci-nation, RSV viruses “formed prominent contaminants in polio vaccines, and were soon detected in children [159].” They caused serious cold-like symptoms in small infants and babies who received the polio vaccine [159].

 Or was she/he around a recently vaccinated child shedding virus?

If you are trying to avoid RSV why inject pieces of it, antibodies from rats made out of it, or anything resembling the virus inside your child where it has access to  your baby’s precious organs?

 Please try to get your facts straight.

I have tried my best to get the facts straight but you must understand there is no real science behind this stuff. It’s an educated guess on the part of doctors. The immune system is way to complex for anyone to understand. It’s more like a religion. You either believe in this or you don’t. There is no proof one way or the other.

I am so happy and glad you are researching this and have taken the time to write to me. It shows intense intelligence and a genuine love for your baby and a great desire to do the best for him/her. She/he is a very lucky baby.
