How much of the unwillingness to listen or discuss this issue is about unwillingness to face the social consequences of not vaxxing your child I wonder?
That's a great point. I think it's a considerable contributor to the calculus.
You are trading of "a small risk, if any" against years of hardship and isolation. Including in far too many cases, intra-marital consequences and hardship. I wonder how many kids have autism etc., that was a "price paid" to keep the peace and preserve the marriage?
Vaccines are a barbaric, gruesome, fraudulent, deadly, satanic child sacrifice. It is a horrific assault on the human body and needs to be outlawed immediately.
Thanks for this. Janet, I have long been a big picture person. I look for patterns and paradigms. I'm interested in truth. I don't go along with the crowd, which often leads to friendships which have defined borders to them, as in "we can't go there." I so appreciate other people who do the same, who question. It seems that across the board there is a certain (too small) percentage of people who want to sort out the truth for themselves, and everyone else just wants their passport stamped to certify that they are "one of the herd," so to speak. To be accepted, get along, they accept the common wisdom, even when it's not so wise. In many of the things I've been involved in, the same question comes along: "How do I/we get these people to wake up and look around?" I guess it's part of the human equation, the social need to belong, until something trips a switch and we raise our heads and look around and start to wonder, and once we do that with one thing, we're more willing to do that again. Thanks for being one of them.
Curious, your need to find the truth regardless of personal cost suggests, with your other attributes, the Myers-Briggs personality type INTJ. If you know or care to share, I'd love to confirm or be corrected. I am one of those fiercely independent types, and so relate.
I don't know why I've always been a little different that way. A combination of genes & life experiences, I suppose... During the Covid era I posted an essay on my Substack on what's called the human "compulsion to comply." It's here: https://tinyurl.com/yuytbmed It's definitely true for many-many-many ... likely most... people - that going along with "the herd" - belonging, in other words - trumps independent or even rational thought for most humans. We're just herd critters - hardwired that way, apparently!
Posted to Facebook with link: Amazing interview with someone who predated my thinking on vaccines by decades. As I was mocking anti-vaxxers, they were doing the necessary research to help guide us to a paradigm shift. This is well worth going down a rabbit hole or two, or twenty.

From your lips to God's ears.
All vaccines. As in 100%.
Wow! Thank you so much for bringing Janet forward. She is a huge resource.

What a wonderful, heartfelt story many can find affirmation and solace in sharing. <3
Thank you for this. I can relate very well to her story, as it is similar to my own.
Bravo to this lady on her awakening.

Oh, and Unbekoming is fabulous. What a find.
Thank you Doug 🙏
Fabulous article. Thank you.
💛
Now ask her about the science, or maybe lack of, delving into Klimate Change.
