    One thing I would really like to remind everyone is there are many people out there immune to some vaccines. My son could not get into the range of efficacy, and every year we were terrified some antivaxxer would get him sick. This poor kid couldn’t go to pools, amusement parks, etc, until finally at 16 it worked.

    I didn’t understand how moronic the public was until I had a doctor say to us “I wish there was another way, but you basically have to keep him out of crowds.”

    There is another way - get fucking vaccinated. So these people don’t just kill themselves, they bring people like my son with them.

      How did you know the vaccines weren’t taking?

      I don’t remember ever being checked with a follow up blood test?

      Is that something that just happens when your really young and I’d never remember?

        In our case the doctors came and did a test. I am not sure of the kind, and found the levels were low. Then they repeated this each time. Sorry I can’t be more specific, it was… 17 years ago when he had the first one. Wow, time flies.
