I made a difficult decision, so I got a new job that was gonna be in the space of helping people with disabilities, I went to the first training and it went alright.

But in the paper work one of the things they wanted me to agree to was to get a series of vaccines, now I sorta get why, you are living taking care of others and they want to protect them.

But I am not in support of most vaccines and the ones on the list was not something that I was comfortable getting, I have had negative health affects from vaccines before and I'm sensitive to them, so I choose to avoid them.

I thanked the manger of the place and said that the job was not gonna work it for me.

Every vaccine carries some risk, some more than others.

You have to weigh up the potential benefit of prevention vs the potential risk of vaccine injury with each one.

The manufacturer of the vaccine as well.

I have had a few of them, but nothing for almost a decade, the last one was a tetanus shot after a wild dog attacked me

(never try to catch a wild dog that was raised in the wild and never interacted with people before)

Some of the childhood vaccines are probably higher benefit than risk, but that also depends a lot on rhe individual.

I know a young person who had a brain injury at 18 months old after a vaccine, it was determined to be a vaccine injury by his GP.

He has an exemption, does not require vaccination for anything.

Hes lucky it happened so young, the later in life you get a brain injury the harder it is to heal from, very smart young man, talking to him you would never guess.
