We're on MMR. Any thoughts/suggestions/experiences that I could get as part of my knowledge journey? Wife and I are knee deep in side affects, lawsuits, fetal cells etc... We've dodged quite a bit, trying to stick to the 1983 schedule for vaccinations, however this one has us nervous.

Why is it a battle? Can you not just say no?
It's a funny thing the pressure comes from the school, and then the doctor's office. Sometimes work too. Yes, you can say no, but it means consequences.
For us, the consequence was homeschooling, which meant only one of us could work. That meant harsh budgeting in the early days.
It's 100% worth it. I'd sell my house and downsize if necessary to make homeschooling work.
I don't have kids but I would never EVER send them to public school based on my own experience there.
And I didn't even go to a "bad" school. I went to one of the top rated high schools in the country, wasn't bullied no one really was, teachers were basically polite.
It's broken from the ground-up.
Sure you can take over the school board and stop them from teaching bullshit.
But you can't really get away from the structure of the whole thing.
Homework assignments that don't give you ANY real life skills. No real analysis on writing - just can you pump out a meaningless but we'll formatted and organized A+ paper. There's no CONTENT in today's schools. It's totally devoid of meaning.
YES YOU NEED THESE SKILLS. Including things you don't want to do and completion of projects and goals.
But school is about the stupidest way you could teach them.
Teach kids to learn with their heart passion driving their brain. Don't just teach them a bunch of brain skills totally devoid of heart or they'll destroy the world with those skills, even with 'good' intentions.
Teach kids to dream of greatness and to make the world great too!
And building it yourself with a community of things you can involve your family and friends in will only make your entire life and every aspect of it stronger and closer to God too (even if you don't believe in God I think you can see a point in this).
Maybe I'm talking out my ass because I don't have kids like I said. But if I did I'd do ANYTHING to not send them to school.
Not unless they already seemed prepared for the shit storm of depressing beuracracy and WANTED to go for some reason. But even then I'd basically tell them I don't give a shit if they do what they're supposed to. I ABSOLUTELY care that they make a commitment to be successful at some aspect of it though and follow through until it's done. I just wouldn't make them okay the schools game if they didn't want to. And really I'd do anything to give them a life and friends and learning so they wouldn't want this.
A traditional school will kill this God passion. Even a good one without CRT or Bill Gates Math.
** omg lol the sp errors ... hahaha I'd Blake my phone but also you want spell check pay me
Same here. And my teachers were generally pretty good or at least not too inefficient. None of them felt the need to parade their political views or sexual preferences, but now, it's just too scary.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this comment.
Home school your children. No need to produce an ‘immunization record’ if you home school.
Tell your Dr. you are changing health plans and he/she isn’t part of the new plan. After changing, do not go to the new Dr with your children.
I only had 2 or 3 vaccines as a child. It’s amazing I lived isn’t it. It’s amazing anyone lived through childhood before the late 50s when vaccines started.
Holy Jesus.... please don't let your precious child become a statistic and government Big Pharma victim. Contrary to what the commies try to tell us, our children do not belong to them. I'm a parent. I can speak of these things.
That’s one reason why sending your kid to public school is child abuse. Period. If you can’t home school your child or find alternative arrangements, you should have thought about that before.
Every day I am more and more thankful my parents raised me to question everything.
There are still other options. If you must get your child vaccinated, wait as long as possible. Giving the MMR at 2 seems to be the cause of many vaccines injuries.
wrong; A LOT of states provide exemption status. And if they don't, work to change that. After all, "my body, my choice", right???
No its not, you can get religious exemptions
The amount of vaccines my local schools want is considerably lower then CDC recommends.
You can say no but the doctor won't let you schedule another appointment untill you get the shots he recommends. Happened to me.
