Oh I am so sorry.Please, please forgive yourself. As you have witnessed from Covid ,the medical world has no qualms about manipulating you. The doctors know exactly what to say to get you to do what they want and have no qualms about lying. They are trained to specifically guilt you. Seriously scripts and all.If you had researched the CDC etc. you would have been misled.Going back to at least the polio vaccine the government has intentionally held back information to thwart hesitancy. I did not know that until a month ago. I am a nurse of over 40 years. When I was in college there was no liability shield and there were still quaint notions like if your child or close relative had a seizure history then you were not allowed certain vaccines(the recognition that every vaccine was not for everyone) and of course we learned that vaccines were lifesaving. Despite years of required continuing education and being a parent and grandparent did I ever realize the liability shield had been enacted in the 80's and that there is a vaccine injury reporting system that I am legally obligated to use. and the insane increase in the number of vaccines on the schedule.So until a year ago I was against early Hep B, HPV and rotovirus but I did not know the scope of the issue.I was not someone who goes along with all the recommendations of the health provider system-and yet I had a lot of blindness about vaccines. But you know what I know now and I am ethically duty bound as a nurse to educate. I am sure that if Jeff were to poll the readers how many had an epiphany about the childhood vaccine schedule because of C-19 it would be a huge per centage. And there are probably many who are not even sure what the issue is all about . All this long story to say that you cannot blame yourself. If you have any energy left from caring for your injured child then work to help the next confused parent.But no guilt if right now you don't have the energy. I think your saying the guilt part out loud is very,very powerful.And I am so sorry that our health care system has so utterly failed your family.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response - I knew some were bad but was too tired parenting to not trust my Dr...as some as said, there are detox protocols and I’ll be looking at those, trying to help my kid (who won’t want my help, but I’ll try anyhow)
