My no was formed via previous quirky experience. I'm a people pleaser and rather go with the flow but have repeatedly been silently right when doctors are wrong due to me being an oddball medically, and an unusually large run of people making mistakes with me. My no actually came from my child though, I had intended to follow the vaccine schedule against my intuition out of exhaustion of standing up to doctors but at her two month appointment my extremely sensitive, gentle child had a shot and it's the only time in her life of 11 years I've ever seen rage (weird still to think about it) my tiny undersized baby stiffened her entire body went red all over and bellowed at the nurse in pure, you have violated my soul, rage.. the nurse was taken aback and didn't want anything else to do with her. I felt so ashamed for going against my intuition that something had to make it so obvious, I tucked my bub up and never took her back. If any kid was going to be vaccine damaged it would be my delicate girl, I'll never know for sure if she would have but I'd never live with myself if I had gone against my intuition again and something went wrong.
So the covid vax was a no brainer, I've been saying no to pushie vaccines for so long now it's habitual. Plus it was so obviously done in bad science I was a bit embarrassed to watch everyone "do the right thing" on a gamble.
