In reply to the discussion: George Takei says 'willfully unvaccinated' should stop receiving priority medical care [View all]Saffron Walden
(18 posts)My daughter-in-law and son are not vaccinated because we live in a place where we are pretty much isolated from other people. They are trying to get pregnant and her doctor told her there hasn't been studies on pregnant women and the vaccine. They have made the well thought out decision to not get vaccinated.
I'm not vaccinated and will not be. I have a number of crippling auto-immune conditions and my body reacts badly to many medications and topical ointments. I can't even use regular soap or the ultra soft toilet paper without breaking out in a horrible skin condition. I also get a frightening inflammatory response to some meds or injury. I was talked into the flu vaccine about 7 years ago (when I wasn't so ill) by a GP and it took me years to recover from - in fact I'm not sure I really did.
I haven't had a cold let alone flu since the mid-90's.
My husband is vaccinated and did so because he was told at the time he would protect me by being vaccinated, which turned out not to be true.
My auto-immune doctor has not mentioned the vaccine to me and won't.
All's good though - reading through the comments here I see I get a janitor to keep an eye on me as I die in tent in a hospital parking lot.
The earth's too overcrowded anyway.
