Except it's better for everyone to be vaccinated, even if it kills some babies or children, because the death and disability toll of not vaccinating everyone it's possible to vaccinate is so much higher.

I think parents who try to avoid vaccinating their kids should be sent to a lovely tropical island with heavy duty biosecurity protocols and infected with the diseases they refused to vaccinate their kids for. I know it's a horrible thing to say, but your kids are not more important or more deserving of life than anyone elses, and by refusing to vaccinate you are basically saying "fuck everyone else, I got mine."

If a kid is born with no immune system or low birth weight or something, then of course their vaccinations should be delayed or not administered at all, depending on what the problem is, and the call should be made by their pediatrician, not by parents who would rather have a dead kid or one who went blind from measles or some shit than an autistic one. If they're worried about allergic reactions, they can have their doctor do an allergen panel for their kid.

I was not vaccinnated when I was born because I was three months premature and had a laundry list of contraindications for awhile. If I'd been surrounded by unvaccinated people, I might've died. I have lost multiple relatives to cancer, but I would've lost them a lot sooner if people around them hadn't been vaccinated. As soon as I had health insurance as an adult, I went and got vaccinated for everything I'd missed as an immunocompromised kid, because I owed it to kids like me (and everyone else tbh) not to be a disease vector if I could help it.

"I was not vaccinnated when I was born because I was three months premature and had a laundry list of contraindications for awhile."

Different anon, here.

Is it alright if I ask what the contraindications were? In what circs do trained medical staff think it better to wait, or skip, vaccinations?

Also, three months premature is seriously not a picnic, so congrats for surviving.

AYRT—I couldn’t breathe on my own, I had hydrocephalus so severe my doctors were within an hour of putting in a shunt when they managed to bring the swelling down by other means, I needed daily blood transfusions and had blood drawn multiple times a day, I weighed 2lbs 10oz at birth and my weight dropped to below 2lbs after (apparently they threw little parties every time I gained an ounce, pft, if they could see me now), and I had jaundice. My baby pictures for the first couple months are horrifying tbh, and I cost the state $150,000 in 1980s money.

I was flown from the podunk town where I was born to the University of California San Francisco medical school right after I was born, which was nice of someone because without their care I’d have died. And without their rigorous blood testing protocol I might’ve gotten AIDS. There wasn’t one test for it back then, but they knew it was killing gay men so they tested their blood supply and questioned their donors very thoroughly.

Oh, and they thought I’d grow up to be a vegetable, but I’m glad I didn’t. I do seem to be an autistic of some stripe, though. Which is why I really should make a “not vaccinated, still autistic” tshirt. I did get some vaccinations just before I started kindergarten, but my mental issues were already showing up before then because hey, autism really does just coincidentally show up shortly after kids generally get the MMR vaccine around 2 or 3ish. (Although when I was a kid the big fuss was over the TDaP vaccine, which is the one I didn’t get until I was an adult.)
