Yeah. With my second baby they went so far as to ask if I would like to speak with the Immunisation Fellow, sure I said. I am open to learning what I don't know and was keen to see if someone who had actually studied vaccine had some rebuttals that might convince me to change my mind.
Well he came to talk to me and I asked him my questions. I know Vitamin K is not a vaccine but he brought that up and straight up denied that it was a coagulant, and he wouldn't say what the K stood for except it wasn't coagulant because that starts with a C (hint: not in all languages). He mostly avoided my questions and stuck to the traditional talking points of NPCs only he had more statistics on infection and infection complication/death rates. I told him I was aware of the risks of the diseases but my issues were with the risks of the vaccines and he kept dodging. He eventually said he would email me something but it was more disease negative studies not vaccine safety.
Anyway the two mums in the ward with me came up to me afterwards to ask if I was okay because he seemed a bit aggressive and me shaken... I wasn't and I didn't think he was aggressive he just came across to me as broken programming NPC confused/angry at times. They were both shocked at how he didn’t answer any of my questions. One still expressed support for vaccines but that she had chosen a delayed schedule for her baby and the other expressed her ignorance and regret for never having thought of questions like mine or to question doctors and that they might not know everything.

Thats the kind if thing I'm talking about elsewhere in this thread. We can dodge these issues and lie and pretend we're going on a delayed schedule or that we have medical exemptions or what have you. But if we actually tell the truth about our refusal, there's always a chance we can be changing the lives of those around us who may have never heard the truth.
