Beyond heartbreaking
I just watched this movie with my husband and I cried for almost half of it. My oldest son had a vaccine reaction and lost his speech at 12 months. He had 10 words by then and was perfectly healthy and normal. After that he also had hour and a half long tantrums, recurrent ear infections, sensory issues and the list goes on. I feel the pain and guilt these parents feel when you feel like you’ve failed your child, when your job is to protect them and love them. It is heartbreaking that doctors and government officials and pharmaceutical companies make parents feel like idiots as if we don’t know our own children. I spent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with my son. I know what happened to him and when. This film was so validating to me. I’m so thankful my kids have not had the MMR vaccine as I stopped all vaccinations after the reaction. However I just wish more people would listen to the parents out there who were clearly at one point pro vaccine. There is nothing to gain by sharing a vaccine injury story, all you hope is that someone else is spared the heartache and devastation of a vaccine injury in their own child.
More needs to be done for vaccine safety and we as a country deserve better than what our government and the CDC has given us so far. Our children and our future depend on it.
Unfortunately after watching this movie and realizing that the chasm between pro Vax and anti Vax is growing larger, there is prob no hope for us as not enough are willing to do their own research and fight for justice.
