I need to look at the vax schedule again and do some more research on them

@Prestor John what are the “big vaccines”?

@Grossly Incandescent MMR is a biggy. Measles is bad news. Hep B vaccine is fake news. How can an infant contract hep b?
My wife is the expert though I just listen to what she says on this matter.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN what happened at the camp? Was everyone ok?

@Prestor John three kids got rubella who hadn't had it. We think an unvaccinated kid gave it to some other unvaxxed.

I don't think the kids passed away. But they were removed.

One or more may have been vaxxed. The vaccines are not even close to 100% effective.

@Prestor John I see. The carrier that transmitted may have been vaccinated without symptoms.

The reason I suspect more than one youth in the equation was unvaccinated is that it was a very hippy camp in the PNW

Although vaccine-skepticism is one of those rare interesting areas where far right and far left agree. *horse shoe intensifies*

The far left and far right tend to agree on what the problems are, just not the solutions @Wood-Ape - OK/MN

@John O - true

We recently had some families over for brunch. All the wives are part of a parenting group online. Pretty hippie divvy stuff including vaccine skepticism, natural revenues, coskeeping etc. I assumed I would be the odd man out but only one of the dads was a shit lib and the others were mostly on the Tucker train.

Hippy/Trad solidarity now! lol

@Prestor John Choo choo!

MMR and tdap seem good.
Flu shot not needed.

^ idk about MMR

Maybe if you separate the different aspects and spread them out.

Also you f your kid has the MTHFR mutation you should be aware that it is linked to adverse reaction to vaccines and heavy metals in general. Signs of the mutation are:
a stork bite on the back of her neck (nevus simplex or salmon patch) – get it? that’s where the stork carriers the baby to you
a stork bite on the eyelids or forehead, although many people call it an angel’s kiss in these locations
a sacral dimple
a tongue-tie
any facial dimples
a strawberry hemangioma
a prominent blue vein on the bridge of her nose

Just opened YouTube on my phone and was suggested a video related to the flu. I haven’t typed “flu” in months, it must know what I typed here.

That video popped up on my suggested videos this morning also: it’s what started me down this rabbit hole

@Prestor John my kid has a huge stork bite

It’s only gotten larger and brighter since I took this picture a few weeks ago

@missliterallywho we were big on dr seats but he is pushing hpv vaccine which makes us suspicious.

@Tanner - SC I’ll do you one better. I was talking about how the groves in my tongue are getting more pronounced, than I went to google it. Typing “Groov” auto populated “grooves in tongue” as the top result.

There is zero credible evidence to suggest that vaccines are harmful except in cases where the immune system is so weak that the vaccine itself gives symptoms. That said, some like the annual flu vaccine are unnecessary. Please don't let your kids get polio though

My qualms were never with the “vaccine” itself, more with all the other crap that gets injected with it. Heavy metals like aluminum; I’m no expert but I just don’t understand the need for that in my tiny little babies bloodstream

In related news a whole bunch of our greatest allies dont vax either
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/amp/.premium-more-parents-refusing-to-vaccinate-1.5273106

The typhus outbreak in LA is a prime example of that

Unfortunately, it can't always be avoided. Even in a place as white as Montana, your neighbors might catch something on a trip to Disneyland or something

@TMatthews what about kids with the mTHFR mutation? My wife claims this increases risk of adverse reaction to the heavy metals in vaccines.

Do you guys do Santa? I’m not keen on lying to the kids but Santa is trad.

@Prestor John Saint Nicholas was a real person, it would be weird to make St. Nick the main focus of the entirety of Christmas, but the real Saint Nicholas has had a role in winter holiday celebrations for over a thousand years at this point. It's not as flash-bang as Coca-Cola Santa but the more real version St. Nick is not totally alien or weird to the culture either. http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/st.-nicholas-reveals-the-true-spirit-of-giving http://www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/gift-giving/

I will not tell my future children that Santa is real. I still have a chip on my shoulder about being lied to as a kid about that and other things.

@Tanner - SC I felt that way too before red pilling. There is something about tradition that is now appealing. I plan to answer questions with questions. Dad is Santa coming to our house? I don’t know son what do you think? I won’t squash dreams or fantasies but I will not lie or pass my authority to a coke a cola ad. I think @ThisIsChris ‘s Suggestion of Telling the story of ST nick is going to fit in as well.

Most of tradition does not involve lying to children. They place a tremendous trust in parents to tell them the truth because that’s all they have to go on. I won’t take advantage of that power disparity.

@Tanner - SC see i disagree about that, but maybe because ur parent came out and said he wasnt real when u were young? I dont know. But for me we were raised beliveing in Santa and it was great. Eventually we figured it out and it didnt effect us me or my sister

And as we got older we would still put from santa on present s to our parents now and then.

Guess it was kinda fun to keep playing along.

Same here @SuperTomPerry -RI We still continue to put from Santa on certain presents & the kids all know this and are also carrying on the tradition.

It also just meant that we knew that present was extra special in its own way too.

Has anyone had experience with Freedom Project Academy for home schooling?

What are your Thoughts on Thomas the Train Engine: Consumerist BS or Trad hierarchy lesson?
