[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pro-vaccines, as they get, and used to be infuriated with the antivaxxers. Yet, one instance made me kind of get where they may be coming from. After the mandatory covid vaccine, my sister developed heart complications (I forget which kind, specifically).  She was dismissed in the ER repeatedly by different doctors and made feel like a conspiracy theorist until the last visit, when a doctor paid attention. I can imagine that when parents are repeatedly mocked and dismissed when they bring up concerns regarding their children's reactions to the vaccine, they stop trusting the medical system altogether.[/quote]

My child had and has heart issues from contracting the COVID virus.  Multiple trips to the ER in multiple locations.   That virus is a little monster.[/quote]

I am sorry you have to go through this, and I wish your child a full recovery. My point is that people's concerns need to be heard, documented, and investigated. Dismissal breeds distrust. [/quote]

I agree with you and posted somewhere in this long thread something very similar. In fact, I lay a portion of the blame of this phenomenon on pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics for creating a backlash with these attutudes.

However, there is a huge leap from here (frustration at being patronized and dismissed) to becoming anti-vax. And that leap requires misinformation and misunderstanding and an incredible amount of selfishness. There is nothing wrong with being angry and demanding respect and answers. There is a lot wrong with blindly following dishonest, corrupt, incorrect messages. It is unforgiveable.[/quote]
