My son was vaccine injured.
I have hid my truth for many years out of fear of being judged, but it’s time for me to share my story.
When I was pregnant with my son - I was skeptical of vaccines, but when I tried to express it, it was met with guilt and shame from others. How dare I even consider not jabbing my son, out of concern for other people’s health who cannot get jabbed. I did the research - but I was overwhelmed and tired. I caved to the societal pressure and decided to vaccinate, but to follow the delayed schedule.
When Skyler was 6 months old, we moved from Cali - Wa and I had to find a new pediatrician. At the time, I was going to school, I was a brand new mom with no clue what I was doing, and I was battling post partum depression.
When I took Skyler for his well child visit - the Dr did not like that i decided to delay. He warned me, that if I didn’t catch up that he would fail my record and my son would not be able to attend daycare or preschool. That freaked me out, I was tired and wanted to trust him. I said ok.
For the next year, it was in and out of the drs office. Originally, it was for a rash that appeared on his wrist shortly after the catch up dose. The dr. Took a look and scratched his head. Then prescribed us scabies medicine that he told me to put head to toe on his body. We did the treatment.... and guess what? It didn’t go away. I took him back to the Dr.. he prescribed steroid cream. It worked temporarily, but the rash just keeps coming back.
Meanwhile, Skyler developed a nasty cough that wouldn’t go away. I took him back to the Dr. and He says Ear infection- prescribes Anti biotics and convinces me it’s the only safe way to go. I go in and out of the Dr a few more times, and the cycle continues- including the dr pressuring me to continue to vax, even though obviously my son was sick.
Luckily, at the time I was studying at the Nutritional Therapy Association, and I asked some moms if they had advice for ear infections. One mom said “did you vaccinate him?” I said yes- she said “that’s why.” In my head I was rolling my eyes at her...
But, it led me down a rabbit hole and i am so grateful to her for that. I stopped vax ing Skyler, I healed his reoccurring ear infections naturally with garlic mullien oil, I put him
On a gluten and dairy free diet... and he slowly started to heal.
But he’s never been 100% better. There was certain things that aggravate his “owie” (vaccine injury) — such as winter, junk foods or not enough sleep.
It’s something that we have to monitor every single day. When his “eczema” is bad, his energy and attitude is also poor and it’s been a huge struggle.
I’m sharing this story with you- because people like to say that anti vaxxers are stupid, but the truth is - we’re mostly EX vaxxers who got smart to what was happening to our babies. Nobody ever warned me that eczema, gut damage, and mental health issues could be a side effect from vaccines.
I know in my heart that my sons body could not handle any more jabs. This is why I stand for medical freedom. Please consider my story the next time you want to shame somebody who choses not to vaccinate.
