Yesterday, I went in for my first ultrasound, being a new mom and all, I am excited af to bring another future patriot in this world.
I read the article that Dr. Kim wrote about the Vitamin K shot that actually does more harm than good for newborns. I cross checked it across multiple other sources with some pro vax and some anti vax. I did extensive research.
So guess what I found in the OB What to Expect packet? The very last bullet point listed is that vitamin K shot. Predictable lol.
That paragraph consisted of fear porn about cranial bleeding in newborns, and helps with blood clots, mothers can't supply their kids with enough Vitamin K, etc etc. Basically saying that if you don't give your kid this shot within 6 hours, they could die. You know how often that actually happens? 1.8 out of 100,000 newborns or .0018% (correct me if my math sucks here) of children. In the time span of 6 hours after birth, how do I know that I will even be lucid enough from the anesthesia to even comprehend what is going on with my child? How manipulative is the medical industry that they would do something so underhanded like jabbing my baby without my knowledge? I dont know anybody in any generation before me (mid 20s) that has ever had this shot. Cavemen didn't need this, so why does my kid? I didn't get it either!
So I played dumb (really should have recorded this), and asked the doctor about it and played it off like a sheltered and compliant new mom. She explained that fear porn, regurgitated it honestly. And had the nerve to tell me that anything not in the info packet is misinformation, and other parents get their anti vax research from "misinformation from Tik Tok."
How arrogant are these pharma fed docs that they shove down people's throats that they should be the only source of medical information? Have these motherfuckers not had the wake up call, that people are waking up to the massive malpractice that is the entirety of the health-"care" industry? I know a lot more people unwilling to trust their doctor's advice at face value because bullshit can come from anywhere. Basically tldr, if you question your doctor, you're being influenced by "misinformation." These people are stupid.
I don't personally care for Tik Tok, but i know there is some good info out there.
Also, I might switch hospitals if this bullshit keeps up. Advice would be nice, because i felt very disrespected for wanting to be actually informed of what goes into my precious child's body.
TOTALLY agree w/you. The amount of shots they give children in the first couple of years of life is insane. We opted out of everything when I had our kids 23 and 22 years ago. It was probably easier then because there was still the autism discussion around the MMR at that time, but we did have to jump through stupid hoops at the beginning of every school year - notarized health forms, waivers, etc. They even sent a notice home one year stating that since our kids weren't vaccinated against anything, they would be the first ones to be sent home if there was any sort of outbreak at the school. LOL! (raising hand) Yes, please! Throw me in that brair patch. Once I learned about the kickbacks these docs receive in pushing ALL vaccines, I was done trusting ever again. I don't even give blood anymore.
Unfortunately, you have a long, not always pleasant road ahead of you in making this educated decision for yourself and your baby, but it's totally worth every second of it. We aren't supposed to think for ourselves, right? Hold firm in this wise choice, and may God bless you w/a sweet, healthy baby!
This is what I'm up against right now. They want my 7th grader to have diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and HPV shots before school starts.
That's a hard NO from me. Problem is jumping through all the hoops to get the exemptions.
Yes, it depends on the state you're in and what kind of regulations they have in place. But you can definitely get around most things. Let me know if you need a religious exemption. I have an online church I can send you to that'll give you one for free, regardless of whether you're a member or not. Not sure that'll help, but just putting it out there.
👆👆👆 That right there is AWESOME!
I'll keep that option in mind. Thank you Fren!
That right there is Gods work. You don't need a church to believe in God, but it sure is nice to have that too lol
