Thank you for this writeup. As a pregnant woman it summarizes a lot of my concerns, so it will be nice to send around to friends.

Hell will freeze over before I inject this into me.

Thank you for your work. As someone without any medical training beyond basic CPR, I have to trust professionals. So I have to voice any concerns, questions and thoughts or fears, no matter how ridiculous they might sound to someone "in the know", so to speak.

So I use the following simple trick:

A professional who scoffs and sneers at my question, no matter how naive or stupid said question might seem, is A) not professional and B) not to be trusted.

This works equally well with any job, career or profession, from plumbers to pediatricians to politicians.

Being a father for more than 25 years now, I can still recall very well how doctors and midwifes used to approach the question of vaccination during pregnancy: warily, respectfully, and always with full disclosure re: risks/benefits. And it was made perfectly explicit that the choice was my wifes and mine, no one elses, no matter what we would choose.

You who are young today, under thirty-five: don't accept this new condescending manner from doctors, so prevalent concerning all things Covid. Ask them about Thalidomide/Neurosedyn. Ask if they know how it came to be approved. Ask if they know why it wasn't approved in the US.

Ask them about Lyodura. Ask them about the pill (contraceptive) and why millions of women developed severe health problems during the first decades of its availability.

Ask them: was it governement agencies and medical professionals who rang the alarm, or was it concerned and worried patients?

Ask them: if you lie, or are misinformed and my child dies, or I become infertile, or my child is born with birth defects - will /you/ go to prison? Will the manufacturer of this drug? Will the bureaucrats who approved it serve even half the sentence handed out for dealing pot? Can you honestly before god answer "Yes, if your child dies thanks to the vaccine, the CEO of Pfizer will serve time for manslaughter"?

Ask. See how they react. Judge what trust you should extend to them based upon their reaction.

They want you to give in to fear. By asking questions they don't want you to be able to ask, you excise that fear, and arm yourself with righteous fury - the fury of any mother whose child is threatened. Don't fear. Don't give in. Make an informed conscious choice, and stand by it. No shifting the blame. No shirking. Stand tall, together.
