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.

My son (now 15yo) had a febrile seizure 10 days after MMR vaccine when he was little. I was not anti vax to any major degree at the time but both my husband and I felt it was caused by the vax. Pediatrician told us no way. Too long after vax to have been the cause. Fast forward a few years and MMR vaccine handout at doctors office has seizures up to 2 weeks post vax as a side effect. Our son was laying on his stomach in his crib with his face down when we heard something odd on the monitor. He vomited after seizure and could hardly hold his head up. To this day I wonder what would have happened if we hadn’t stayed up very late that night and heard the small noises. Normally would have been sleeping.
God, or one of his angels, was watching over you.
That’s hilarious that the pediatrician said it was too long after the MMR shot for it to be the cause of the seizure when they literally tell you that your child can and usually does develop a fever from the shot 10-14 days after the inoculation. If you can develop a fever from the shot at 10 days, which your son did, then it would stand to reason that the seizure was from the shot b/c the shot caused the fever. The two go hand in hand. 🤷🏼♀️
