My issue isn’t that I hate all vaccines. It’s that the government prevents choice. I wanted my newborns to get a vitamin K shot at birth, I had to choose between “all or none” and give them the completely useless Hep B. While our pediatrician is good about alternative schedules and picking and choosing, the company that owns him is not. My daughter is getting ready to get the boot because we are pausing all future vaccines until she’s older (she’s 11 now). If she steps on a rusty nail, our first trip will be to get a tdap booster. But her immune system is a disaster. She’s technically allergic to every major allergen, though only peanuts and tree nuts illicit a response. Every allergy blood and prick test is all red. Her gut is a mess. She has asthma. She is a tough as nails girl so she’s a top swimmer AND soccer player in our urban county, and top student who also won the character award at her private Christian school, but her body can only take so much and anything that can mess with either her immune system or gut needs a pause while we work to heal her, which will take years. Unfortunately the “medical” establishment is only interested in our money for procedures and shots that might be hurting her. 😩
