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.

Thanks for sharing. I have a newborn and will have to face the same situation soon. I don't think this will be a something that my marriage can weather since my wife and I on opposite ends on many things--including this and she previously brought up divorce because of our differences are too difficult for her her (although, pregnancy hormones probably played a factor). COVID, too, was my wake up that made me go from 99% trust in the medical industry to 3% trust.
Was your spouse on board with how you went forward with no vaxing? Any tips for me?
You know your wife best. For my husband, I felt I had to threaten divorce since he wanted to get our baby vaccinated. I'm the feisty one and he's a go with the flow kind of guy so this method ended up working out. Plus women hold all the cards in a divorce. Nowadays he's had a total change of heart and has told me how thankful he is that I never backed down. He's totally anti-vax now after all this covid bs.
For your wife, it sounds like you have to use a different approach. Try to convince her to wait until your child is school-aged. If you can get her to agree to waiting, you can slowly work on diminishing her trust of vaccines. I don't know your wife, but if she is like most women, emotion plays a big role in their decision making. There are plenty of horror stories of vaccine damaged children out there. My advice is to do this gradually. You're not going to change her mind overnight, but persistence is key. Good luck.
Thanks for the listening ear and the tips! I think delaying could possibly be a workable approach.
I'm weak at addressing her at the emotional level... I guess this is the next thing on my heart to think about and pray about!
I’ve had similar trouble convincing my wife to avoid all vaccines for our kids not just the covid ones.
