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 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.
