To vaccinate newborn or not

Are you absolutely intoxicated with first world privilege?

In countries without running water, stable government or food security parents queue for days to ensure their children are vaccinated. They do it because they've seen the children crippled by polio, family members die from Meningitis, measles want of basic immunisations and would judge you for putting your child at risk through basic health illiteracy.

Vaccinate or don't, just stop looking for people to cheerlead your foolishness.

'My question to you is why would you take that risk with your baby’s life and health when we have brilliant, lifesaving vaccines that are given to millions of children the world over and which are safe and effective' @DGPP

Basically this.
Why on earth would you take the risk.
The vitamin K shot after birth is essential.
Measles can kill. As can meningitis.

Did you have the whooping cough jab OP?

Well really the risk is yours to take, but you're a bir of a hypocrite if you used any kind of medication during pregnant and childbirth

Here is a fact - just about measles:

“The increase in measles outbreaks and deaths is staggering, but unfortunately, not unexpected given the declining vaccination rates we've seen in the past few years,” said John Vertefeuille, director of CDC's Global Immunization Division.”

Measles can kill or leave a child seriously disabled.

It is not a box-ticking exercise. The facts are that diseases of childhood kill and can cause lifelong disabilities. Meningitis is deadly, measles can also kill your baby, just to name a few.
My question to you is why would you take that risk with your baby’s life and health when we have brilliant, lifesaving vaccines that are given to millions of children the world over and which are safe and effective? Would you risk a child with life-changing disabilities?
when you say you are doing your own research, I presume you are reading and understanding the published clinical data on these vaccines? If you read those, there should be no question in your mind.
I am biased as I have a science background but the science IS the facts

DH has a member of his family who died of measles as a 1 year old in 1948. That was only the generation above DH. If there's a vaccine that prevents similar situations recurring, I'm going to take it, because that bay's mother didn't. I wish they had chicken pox as part of the general round of vaccines, but no issues with any of the others.

I think rather than look at the reasons for having a vaccine, you should consider the reasons against. The pros far outweigh any cons. Sometimes it’s hard to see why you need to vaccinate your child when the things you’re vaccinating against seem almost extinct, but the reason for that is because of vaccines. There’s pressure to vaccinate because it’s the best thing for your child and the general population. It is ultimately your child, your choice, but it’s free, safe, and could save your child’s life - why wouldn’t you get vaccinated?

The FACTS are vaccines save lives. As PP pointed out, look at the infant mortality rates before and after modern vaccines. Why would you not want your tiny baby to have that immunity? Vaccinations are a basic part of being a decent parent, nothing to do with “pressure” ffs. Would you feel the same about the “pressure” to read to your child or brush their teeth?

My dc researches vaccines, the research costs millions and involves thousands of participants and doctors , nurses and scientists. Even the Covid vaccines were extremely well researched by experts.
Give your baby the gift of health and get your baby vaccinated

What are you looking for? And why would you trust ransoms on here over the NHS?

There won't be a better post than this

First post nailed it.
It really is as simple as that.

Have you looked up the infant mortality rate before and after vaccinations were introduced as part of your research?

Vaccines save lives.

it is as simple as that.
