For all of the people who are anti-vax, I want to know why. This is a genuine question from someone who believes in vaccines trying to understand the other side and potential dangers of vaccines.

See these responses are so crazy. I have never been a direct victim of any negative implications of a vaccine. However, I have heard so many stories. The only vaccination i have ever become ill from was the flu vaccine.

I will say I’m not anti vax but my mother techn is bc I wasn’t a vaccinated child (neglected) but I have health issues not due to not having the proper stuff to protect me. Yes vaccines may harm a small minority but it’s proven they do more good than bad and I’d much prefer not needing a breathing machine bc I should’ve been able to get a covid vaccine (but I can’t bc it could kill me) covid kept me in the hospital bc I went blue. When I get sick I get really deathly ill so I have to be careful

Well, the government has a history of using medicine in destructive ways on the general population. Plus, medical knowledge isn’t widely known by general populations. A fear of government and not knowing how medicine works is a large factor in this. Those who are educated do bring up valid counter points.

I’m not anti vax but my parents heavily are. When my sister was 3 years old, my sister received a vaccine that left her unable to walk until 7 years old and has left her with leg pains for all of her life. This was their breaking point and they didn’t vaccinate any of us for the rest of our lives. However they also use this event as a guilt trip if any of us even talk about getting a vaccine.

Huh this sent me down a rabbit hole. This is actually more common than I expected… Some vaccines can literally fry your nerves. They can also cause long lasting anxiety, and depression. Also paranoia.

Im ngl people asking why anti vaxxers are anti vax makes me second guess things only because I experienced all of these things and I was much healthier before vaccines… After one in HS i developed debilitating anxiety. As a kid I got one and wanted to literally kill myself… Kinda just assumed I was sickly…

When I got the covid vaccine I became bed ridden… For literally a year and a half. I was completely healthy beforehand… Each time I get a vaccine it takes me longer and longer to recover. I also have undiagnosable nerve pain… 😂
