I, too, did not know just how bad childhood vaccines were. My step-sister's baby, aged 1 year and 2 weeks, died of a fatal brain seizure after having the chicken pox vaccination. It was new on the market at the time. The whole family was shocked. How could a vaccine do this? After doing some research, we found others who had seizures after this particular vaccine. I remember reading an article in Good Housekeeping magazine that 1 in 1,000 people ended up with seizures after this shot. I wish I had kept this article, as nobody today believes me. My step-sister did receive compensation from the vaccine injury board, which shows they agreed it was that shot that killed her baby, but of course no amount of money would ever bring him back. Because of this issue, I spread out all the vaccines my kids received. I just thought maybe it was the number of shots kids got all at once that were so bad. I had no idea still that it was the shots themselves. My kids had horrific ear and sinus issues growing up. I completely believe it was due to their shots. But I can't undo what I did to them. I can only go from here. I can say for sure my child will be pulled out of school if this shot gets added to the required immunization schedule, as no way no how will my child get this one. Sadly I live where absolutely no exemptions are allowed-medical or religious. So there is no way out. I don't know how this will affect college in the future, either. My heart is heavy.

At this point, we are so far past the point of no return it's hard to determine even where we are any longer. The only option is to completely dismantle them. The original mission they were tasked with has rotted and fallen away. Any shred of objectivity and goodwill they had with the public already went out the window when they approved the boosters for infants. At this point, it's hard to even remotely wrap my brain around how any sane person could trust a single thing they say.

My daughter was born just before covid, although I did decline some vaccines that I found frivolous and dangerous (like rotavirus and varicella), she mostly stuck to the schedule though we spread them out only getting one per appointment.

I now have a 3-month-old son, he will not get a single vaccine. No one in my family will ever get another vaccine as long as we live.

Mind you, I am a ICU nurse. I firmly believe in medicine and using knowledge and technology to help people. But once I started digging into the risk benefit analysis of the current pediatric vaccination schedule, it made me sick.
