My daughter took my 6 month old granddaughter to Dr for fever, congestion, cough. They fear mongers her into getting not only the RSV vaccine but added the Covid and flu vaccine in the mix that she wasn't told about until they walk in the door with it and had her sign for them all! She was told about all the horrible things that could happen to her child if she didn't get vaccinated. Now she's so angry because NO one in her family, including her 2/12 year old got the Covid vaccine and she didn't realize she was signing to get it for her 6 month old when she agreed to the RSV vaccine! She wants to stop all further vaccinations at this point and the Pediatrics office said she could delay one time but if she didn't comply after that then BOTH her children would be dismissed from the practice!

I took my newborn to her first well-baby checkup. I just started to understand informed consent, so I refused vaccines at birth for both her and I until I could do some more research. At her well-visit, we saw our pediatrician Dr.K. . After reading our chart, she knew we were not doing vaccines. I explained that I had a vaccine injury and needed some more time. At the time, I had to find the courage to say something. I recognized that my view was unconventional, and there was a stigma around 'anti-vax' people, which I am not. I stood as firm as I could and said that I believe in informed consent and will take the inserts home to read more. The nurses struggled to identify what was an 'insert' and then to find something to give me. Dr. K started to harass me about being a good mother and protecting my baby. I only gave birth a week ago, I was emotional, and of course I want the best thing for my child. I was visibly shaken with tears in my eyes when she told me that if we didn't at least start on the vaccine schedule today they will no longer see our family at this office. At a vulnerable moment, I asked of all the vaccines which one she would recommend to be the most important and protect my child. Her response... hepatitis B (I later found out is most commonly a sexually transmitted infection). I felt worn down, degraded, at risk of being kicked out of the practice, and I regrettably agreed. I cried when they gave her the shot, but I tried to be strong so I didn't frighten my baby. After we left the office, I monitored my baby for any adverse reactions. Thankfully, none presented itself at the time. However, I couldn't let go that I felt coerced into a medication procedure that I didn't agree with. The doctor and the medical staff seemingly carried on with little to no empathy for a distraught mother. My concerns weren't addressed regarding vaccines, the risks, the reactions, etc. and the message was that only that a good mother vaccinates their child. Finally, when I was threatened that we will no longer be seen at the practice it made me feel discriminated against for standing up for body autonomy. We didn't go back to that practice. But I will never forget that doctor, how she made me feel and how she manipulated a forced vaccination.

I was forced to resign from my job or be terminated in 2021 because I refused the Covid 19 vaccine due to my religion. Appointed employees at my previous job, New York City School Support Services, harassed me about continuously meeting to discuss my religion after I told them I did not feel comfortable doing so. They terminated so many employees due to the Covid vaccine mandate.

Needed to resign from job as a registered nurse because I could not take the experimental Covid injection. My religious exemption letter was ignored by my employer, a Community College in Massachusetts, and no doctor would write a medical exemption for a history of anaphylaxis and development of an autoimmune disorder after receiving other immunizations.
