I’m not an antivaxxer either. I don’t like many of them.There are some vaccines that have their place. (Truth in posting, I actually was involved in clinical research for the Hib vaccine. Total happenstance to my cousin’s kid, but about a year later.)
My oldest had a BAD reaction to his first DPT. Our very older, wise pediatrician said, “no more for him.” He only got the diphtheria and tetanus after that. Pertussis (whooping cough) was a problem for him. Thankfully most of that had been eradicated by the time he was an adult. By then, his immune system had caught up, so when he had his own children, he could get the TDAP without a problem.
As far as I’m concerned, we need to be very careful with our vaccines. Big Pharma doesn’t GAS. Sorry if that’s crude, $Money$ is their bottom line. And I don’t begrudge the capitalist side, it’s just that real people’s health is the other side of that coin, and on that coin flip, I will ALWAYS side with the people’s health issue.
I slow and no vaxxed all 4. Slow meaning that I brought them in over an extended period of time for the vaxxes I chose to give and no vaxx because I did not give some.
My physician worked with us.
No Hep B No chixpox no mmr.
Just hib and dpt. And polio slowly.
I don’t think the group would work with us today.
He did say that I had the healthiest bunch. 1cear infection which I treated with warn olive oil and a heating pad. 2 cases of Croup which of course is par. And 2 had RSV. One hospitalized twice with it because it was born with compromised lungs
