I’ve done research, but intuitively, I know that vaccines do more harm than good. I can’t explain it. Do you sometimes get an aversion in the pit of your stomach, like you know something is wrong without reading/researching “why” it is wrong?

I refuse to vaccinate my daughter. She’s almost 3, and was recently hospitalized for a few days with an illness that doesn’t even have a vaccine in order to “prevent” it, yet my spouse, and pretty much most of our family members are shaming me and making it seem like I’m an awful mother for not wanting to vaccinate her. I don’t know how to present a proper argument with “the research” because most of the sources I’ve encountered isn’t considered credible to the general public. I feel stuck.

I know kids get tons of vax nowdays. But think about it: why does a baby need a hepatitis vax? They don't unless someone in the family is socially irresponsible.

HPV: this is for promiscuous teens, not babies- surely not for children raised with morals and values.

Rotavirus: Meh. Rotavirus can be a bitch and a child can end up hospitalized because of it. Usually affects medically fragile children and children in day care, etc. I'd avoid it.

RSV: Same. RSV is a bitch and can end a child in hospital- even on life support- most kids with healthy immune system can fight this off; can be really bad for medically fragile childen.

Flu and pneumonia vax: No way. That's old people scare tactics.

Measles, mumps, diptheria...tetanus- and polio- that's stuff we were vaxxed against in the old days. None of this rna shit.

This is a scary time for parents with all these new artificial vaxes that don't do anything but cause more problems.

This might help with loopholes per your state.

I remember when the HPV vaccine came out - I would have been in my early 20s and I had an unrelated doctors' visit at the time. I remember the doctor saying to me "Doesn't seem like you have had your HPV vaccine yet, it's recommended that everyone is sexually active has it". My response: "I'm not sexually active and never have been to date." He dropped the subject straight afterwards.
