Personal anecdote, research group of (n=1).

MMR vaccine caused terrible crying for three nights, Febrile seizures - convulsions on the first night and high fever, that required paracetamol. Husband had no sleep as was carrying hysterical child all night, for three nights in a row. We were like zombies, snatching twenty minute naps when he did.

Then the green shits. These carried on for nearly three months. Tried all sorts of stomach soothing remedies. Had a line of nurses recommending anything from dill water to chicken bones.

Child survived, but is on autism spectrum. As a toddler he would need to walk vigorously in circles while talking, or singing songs that he had made up. Imagine forcing him onto a chair to read quietly! So, the luck of genetics was high IQ, but the vaccine made his mind into one that had very pronounced quirks.

Have since homeschooled all my kids, partly because of this experience. There was no way we were gonna let any vaccine in again, for anything. So 'vaccine mandates' for school were just a hard no.

The child in question would also have been abused by teachers and bullied in school. He has a very active mouth and has no social filters... So, any why? question will have to be discussed at length, with critical to-and-fro, complete with mobile reference library and long-form podcasts to prove it. He even talks openly about autism, and how the mind works. Also he was vociferously anti-vax at work, and had to change jobs three times in the last couple years. But, needs must. He feels strongly that any vaccine is a lie and a threat.

But imagine the damage (((they))) could have inflicted with the mob-mentality and the fake science, at school. Such walking, talking libraries are totally unsuitable in an institutional environment.

Actually, he's had to have jaw surgery after being decked out in a bar for talking too much. So he doesn't go to bars anymore. Society sucks sometimes.

Anyhoo.

Why are you 'talking to' a paediatrician? Find a school that will take your child without a vax. Get a private tutor, a few times a week. Maybe investigate home-schooling until this thing blows over. You might like it. I did. Also give the child a computer, so that they can learn to touch type, read, and research. Make it fun to watch math and science. Add some hands-on stuff like calligraphy pens or art supplies, so that they can get away from the keyboard. TBH, I do not respect what is being passed off for an education nowadays.
