[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine is very smart. Her husband is very smart. One of her children had a bad reaction to a vaccine, and the pediatrician was very dismissive of her concerns.

People having bad reactions to vaccine is not a 0% chance proposition, but the stupid anti-vaxxers and overly defensive doctors have made it next to impossible to have a normal conversation with a doctor about vaccine side effects. I had a similar experience when I was trying to ask questions about Gardisil side effects. I’m not against vaccines, but I had seen some data that the side effects could be worse than your average vaccine. I never got a real answer from the very person who should have been able to have a conversation with me about it. My daughter was a patient of that peds practice from birth to age 20. [/quote]

Mine had a bad reaction as an infant.  We were lucky the doctors took it seriously and let us slow down the shots.  Kid was fine with just 1-2 shots and spread them out over 6-8 weeks vs. all at once.  Doctor said they do them all at once because most parents will not return.  Most doctors are dismissive of many things.  The majority of people do just fine with each vaccine but then there are the outliers.  I find doctors dismissive of any medication, vaccine or much else.[/quote]
