Me, too - for 62 years. Last vaccine was at 9 yrs old - when I couldn't choose. Mom took me to Europe with her & a couple of vaccines were required.
When I was in school, vaccinations were available, but not required, @John Brunner . There were school nurses that came to the school, and parents that wanted their children vaccinated for polio, or whatever shots they were giving, signed a consent paper. Even when my children started school, it was not required for them to have vaccinations, but later on it was a requirement, and I had no choice except to let them be vaccinated.
Boy I believe a smallpox was required to go to 1st grade and that would have been 1943 or 44... The rest of my life I don't recall if there were others I had to get for whatever but only got a couple of those lab made vaccines for flu and one for a rusty nail in foot....That's been it...
It probably varied by state. I think I had smallpox and diphtheria, but most hadn't been invented yet. I think I ended up with 5 types of vaccines before I got out of school, including both types of polio. Between the military and travels to 3rd-world countries, I received many more over the years
Us too except for Tetanus shot and last time for one of those since they put another shot 'diphtheria' in it. A bad cut we may have to get jabbed. Most we just pour salt into the wound and it burns like fire but only a couple of minutes.
It means the difference of infection or just wound. I did this moving a dog bed, pulled skin back, deep cut this is my calf area. I covered it at night to allow skin to re-connect. Just dampened it poured table salt into it off and on all day. Been a big fan since I was about nine cut my hand on corned beef can, and it saved my life when I had blood poison and doc wanted to amputate my arm.
I always use powdered sulfur for wounds. I was moving a downed tree limb last summer which flipped up and gouged the back of my calf. All I did was wash it off in the shower, stuffed it with powdered sulfur each day and it healed quite fine. Then the same thing happened with my other calf a couple months later (be careful around trees) and I healed it the same way. Another thing I do is to stay far, far away from the idiot greedy doctors and their dehumanizing toxic treatments.
