As the title says, I've come to learn how dangerous vaccines can be as a result of researching stuff on COVID this past year, but my wife still trusts them as a whole. I convinced her just hours before his appointment to reschedule a week later so I can give her evidence to convince her to cancel the vaccines altogether.
Can someone please help me with some links, info, anything? Any good info summaries for a suspicious "normie" wife? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
EDIT: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I want to prevent my son from receiving the standard batch of vaccines all kids are given now. My wife and I agree that the COVID vaccine is bad - just need help extending her skepticism to the vaccine "industry" at large.
Is your son in daycare or other situations where he is exposed to a lot of people or illness? If not, I’d ask for more time. He literally can’t catch these illnesses just in your home, so ask to wait until he’s going to be more exposed.
In the meantime, I’d look for the video Vaxxed, or another: The Truth About Vaccines. You can also read (both of you) the book: The Vaccine Friendly Plan. The writer is a doctor who talks about the risk of each illness and the risk of each vaccine, and he offers a plan for choosing WHICH vaccines a parent may want, and proposes a schedule. For instance, why does a toddler need a HepB vaccines, when the illness is transmitted through VERY risky adult behaviors? At the very least, you may come to a compromise.
Unfortunately,the existence of vaccines has allowed us to believe that the population is out there just teeming with these viruses, and the vaccines kill them. Obviously, that’s not how it works - healthy people don’t spread disease. But it takes time (I’m telling you from experience) to shake that off completely. Start small and don’t panic. My first 2 kids were fully vaxxed, but I was hearing a lot of info and starting to question. My 3rd had visible reactions to her first vaccines, and that’s when I started to pay a lot of attention really fast.
You’re both clearly wanting what’s best for your child, and try to remember that. It can be too easy to work against each other instead of with each other.
Yes, ask for more time. And look into spacing the vaccines out. 1 at a time, no more than 1 at a time! Many parents do this option. The worst vaccine seems to be MMR, so if you can space this one especially out long down the road, it would buy you more time.
Also in your research, look into building children's immunes systems. Best for them to start is breastfeeding and then the mother's antibodies are passed onto the child. (So if your child was breastfed, the child is already being protected.) Then aim for organic, nutritious foods. Avoid as much as possible sugar and additives, MSG and aspartame especially.
He stays at home with mom all day. He's very low risk in general. We both realize we want the best for him, and I need to remember she things it's just as urgent he gets vaccinated as I think it's urgent that we keep him off them. It's a rough situation, but I just learned about vaccine dangers recently so it's not something we could've planned for.
Thank you for your advice, not just with the vaccines, but maintaining the relationship while making monumental decisions for the kids.
Well, Covid yes, strangely. But I'd say that has to do with false positives, as much as anything.
But the OP seems to be talking about routine childhood vaccines, and that's not a phenomenon with seen with measles, mumps, chicken pox, Hep B (!!) etc.
