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.
No vaccines. I concur with other posters: read "turtles all the way down" https://www.amazon.com/Turtles-All-Way-Down-Vaccine/dp/9655981045 Basically, none of the vaccines on the market have actually been tested for safety against placebo, and there is also no real testing of combinations and sequences of vaccines. Pretty much all of the "effectiveness" attributed to vaccines is actually due to improved sanitation and nutrition. I wish I knew this before I got the kids all jabbed up, back when I trusted doctors. I assumed they must be testing things properly. No more. COVID has taught me this simple lesson: do not trust doctors or the government.
The more you look at this, the more it's clear that they should be avoided until the liability protection is removed and they can be properly tested.
If you want to take a less hard-line approach, check out this book

which provides advice on a modified and reduced schedule that would be the safest way to still get the vaccines required for schools, etc.
