My wife declined the Hepatitis B vaccine for my newborn. We argued about it. I’m scared to death of making the wrong decision. I’m asking for help, what do you guys think is appropriate for newborn vaccines? The nurse came to our house and told us if we didn’t get the vaccines they wouldn’t work with us anymore. I brought up autism and she said that the person who came out with that lost their medical license and there are ZERO negative side effects for the Hep B vax. Exact words.
It was a long and hard pregnancy. My wife has had trauma in her past and refused any meds (which I was conflicted about because it was a nightmare to live through) and now she may be suffering from post-partem depression. She is way more anti-vax than I am, hates hospitals and doctors after what has happened, and I can’t blame her. Any thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated.
You need to look up Dr. Andrew Wakefield for yourself. Read up on what he brought up, and why they tried to squash him. It pisses me off to no end when vaxxers trot him out as evidence of why you ought not consider any opposing viewpoints on this garbage science.
I'd also keep your baby 100% in your personal oversight while you're in the hospital. Your wife's intuition is spot-on. Keep that precious baby out of the grasp of big "harma" and the doctor's bonuses.
