Do you seriously think that the Clark family did not explore applying a topical cream to their child's eczema and jumped directly to "vaccines bad"?

The story of my child is eerily similar to the story of Clark's daughter. Full body severe eczema, food allergies to almost everything. We also came to the conclusion of stopping all vaccines when he was 18 months old. Consenting to giving him all those vaccines when he was so little is my biggest regret as a parent. I will now always wonder if he would be healthier without them. I could write a long post about all the problems and how we came to the conclusion of vaccines being a big contributing factor (in consultation with an immunologist), but I am not going to do so, as those who are convinced that vaccines cannot possibly cause any problems whatsoever are not open to listening. Fortunately, I found a good private (non-Catholic) school for my child that accepts our religious exemption. And, if the choice would be between him getting caught up on all his vaccines or homeschooling, I would not even think about it - it would be homeschooling.

I listen and I pray for your child. Thankfully you did all of the appropriate things, consulting with an immunologist etc. My fear is the brave new world in which many may NOT do the appropriate steps you took. Best practices don’t seem like they may stand the test of time in the final quarter of my life. And all I can do is pray for people like you. ☮️ 🙏
