Have been away from the forum for a while!
Great to see Mind, Turnbuckle and a few regulars still going at it!
Married now and we made a lil human! He is 2 months old perfectly healthy (touch wood!) and bang in the middle of all growth charts, has started rolling actuallly so is blitzing the development milestones.
I always did kind of look down on and think that anti-vaxers were crazy!
But wow look at what's happened over these years look at this covid.. Happy to see that this formum seems to have agreed that these public health interventions have all been mostly wrong.
We never got vaccinated! My now wife is a RN, she got tested every single week for the majority of the pandemic and we never got covid. She traveled every day on the korean subway to work then to my house and then back to her home.
We looked together every single day at the data, luckily south korea had the covid vaccines delayed a little and then rationed I think that if we would have had early access to the vaccines I think that that we probably would have taken them, too much up in the air it all seemd so scary.
The more it went on, the more it looked like the vaccines didn't very help very much. As an ultra fit 45yo exercising hard everyday pushing my heart rate sky high and being fairly healthy with the lifestyle being a drunkard but still not being too much overweight it seemed crazy to take these vaccines when they didn't do much at all.
We did mask and I think that masking is helpful, not perfect and not as good as they say that it is but just masking and washing your hands with soap and water regularly normal flu type things I think they really helped.
But
We have this little human! We immigrated to another country, are no longer in south korea. I had to get childhood vaccines to immigrate MMR etc. I got chicken pox! I asked the doctor how enough would I get chicken pox without taking the vaccine?
I was kind of drinking heavily at the time all that period, BUT I took tdap and mmr in one session and it really made me sick for weeks, I was sick for 3 weeks+ along with chickenpox!
Now of course I was drinking and that probably reduced my capability of dealing with the vaccines, but thinking of my little boy!
I was never skeptical of any of this stuff until all this vaccine covid crap and my own experience.
It's time to vaccinate the little guy! I declined the hepatitis b at birth vaccination. That is absolutely scary to give a child that has just been born a vaccination for a disease that they are not going to get! Unless they're at risk by having druggie families or risks real risks.
Really up in the air about all of the vaccines that they want to give him. I don't I really don't think that hepatitis b should be given until around about maybe 10 years old, at that age he could within years start to get into risky sex, drugs crime all kinds of stuff you never know.
I'm leaning towards MMR and tdap but spaced out. I think that MMR is beneficial to society but yeah I'm open to getting zero vaccines.
