Is anyone else just skeptical about these vaccines being recommended for babies? My kid was just born and now they want to inject all of this poison into his body. I am going to hold off until we get more guidance from RFK. Anyone else?

The classics like MMR I’ll get my newborn. I’m not giving him Truvada for Prep or Covid or Ozempic or any of that.

All I know is that when I was little I only had to get one vaccination shot and I turned out fine. Now they are required to get 14 different vaccination shots and kids are turning into dumb people.

We held off on the hepatitis one for our newborn. Well, because we arent on drugs or have stds.
The hepatitis shot can cause trouble breathing for newborns possible asthma

Just remember, only introduce solid foods one at a time a few days apart, in case they have any reactions.

I delayed immunizations with my first, by years... did most of the schedule with the second due to being a very active member of a church constantly rotating missionaries all over the globe.

It's not bad to space them out. They only reason they do so many at once is to dodge issues of parental compliance.

Weigh your situation, do some research both sides and in the middle, talk to your doctor and go with what comes up the best plan for your situation.

I don't think RFKjr is against vaccines... prolly more interested in cleaner vaccines, splitting up the necessary vs the optional, and revising schedules to better suit a child's immune system.

It's okay to be skeptical and put some thought into it.

Didn't the CDC back off of recommendations for giving COVID vaccines to newborns?

If you’re relying on RFK for any type of medical advice, you’re crazy…. The whole MAGA/MAHA bucket has gone off the rails. Maybe you think I’m nuts but I’ll listen to my doctors like a sane adult.

It's ALL poison. Evidence is overwhelming. Do not give into the peer pressure and "medical convention."

Keep your kid pureblood 100%.

Can you explain exactly what kinds of thought you're going to be putting into it?

I'd really love specifics here.

Yeah, let's all just pretend 2020-2021 didn't happen.

As long as you understand that your doctor is getting bonuses from her/his system or better reimbursement based on how many vaccines s/he can get administered.

This alone should raise a million red flags.

Why do infants need HepB vax? Do they need it?

Why do boys need a vax that was originally approved for just young women to prevent cervical cancer?

Are you, as a parent, okay with staying home with a case of chickenpox kid?

Do they really need flu and covid shots annually or is it best to let their magnificent immune system handle it?

Those are some of the things my family considered.

**Did you know ACIP recommended the chicken pox vaccine largely in part to missed work hours by parents? I read the original discussions on this- the actual minutes of that particular meeting- it was, in large part, an economic concern.

Not even all doctors agree on the schedule or the pacing.

Well, this is a measured, reasoned response. That's usually not allowed in these type threads.

Yes... also the CDC recommends a particular vax that is helpful to gay men- to all boys. It is wise to ask questions.

The US vaccine schedule for young children has X requirements. There are multiple countries in Europe that are often hailed as wonderful that have like .4X.

One of the questions RFK is asking is: what are we missing here? What are THEY missing?

Do you have any rational answer?
