I became anti-vax in 1984 when I saw a good friend's baby girl, previously perfectly healthy, get her DPT shot, almost instantly start having multiple daily seizures, and who ended up 100% disabled and with a destroyed brain. It was horrifying to witness, and my views on vaccines were forever altered. This child is now 40, has lived her life thus far in a wheelchair unable to walk, talk, or feed herself. She was ruined by that shot.

Oh gosh😭. One of my motivations when I decided not to vax my youngest was a tetanus booster in 2001. I went in to talk to a Dr. about depression and anxiety and wasn't really paying attention to Dr. comments about me probably needing a booster and then allowed it because I was dumb then and an idiot for being depressed anyway. So I got so sick , couldn't hold my head up for days and neuropathy in my legs. Called Dr., didn't care,,,feeling bad after booster "normal". I thought I would die.
