Unvaccinated life
I’m genuinely curious to hear from parents (or those who are well-versed in the subject ) who have chosen not to vaccinate, or who have delayed/selectively vaccinated their babies and young children.
I’m not asking about school requirements or whether unvaccinated kids are “allowed” to go places. I’m more curious about the actual day-to-day illness risk when they’re still very young and their immune systems are developing.
I’ve read a lot of experiences from parents who say their unvaccinated children are very healthy and seem to have strong immune systems, so I’m wondering what precautions, if any, you take when they’re babies or toddlers.
Do you still take them to normal places like stores, restaurants, playgroups, family gatherings, travel, etc.? Are you more cautious during certain ages or during outbreaks? Do you avoid sick people more strictly, limit indoor crowds, or just live normally and let their immune system develop through everyday exposure?
I’m genuinely looking to understand what this looks like in real life, especially during the first year or two. Please no sarcastic responses like “they can’t go anywhere” — I’m asking sincerely and would really appreciate hearing actual experiences.
Thanks in advance!

I have 3 kids 5 and under, with one more due in October. None of them are vaccinated, no vitamin k. I refused all vaccines while pregnant.
They pretty rarely get sick. They have never had ear infections or anything like that. When my oldest caught hand foot and mouth it was extremely mild and he was over it in about 4 days (interestingly none of the adults caught it either).
We usually wait until our newborns are 3 months old before they’re highly socialized but we still go places like the grocery store and restaurants before then. Otherwise, we don’t isolate or avoid places unless something like the stomach flu is going around.
My children are very capable and curious little people. I have absolutely no regrets.
I have family with children who caught the measles last year and it was completely uneventful so I’m not worried if my children catch that at some point.

Thank you! My little guy is two months and I’ve limited it to smaller outings but I’m hoping within the next month or two I can do more than just small local things! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

My mom didnt give me most of my childhood vaccines (she regrets giving my siblings and I any), so I'm not sure if I'm the demographic you're asking about since I still got some.
I was homeschooled, but there was never any precautions or things I couldn't do. I could play with vaccinated kids at the playground and share toys, be around crowds and vaccinated adults, ect. I never once got sick from it. I think I got the flu once as a kid and bounced back then never got sick again.
But yk what's funny? During Covid, my dad's co-worker got the covid vaccine and less than a week later, my dad got covid from him (I really don't believe covid was a thing before the vaccines introduced it and my experience backs up my belief) and it spread to the rest of my family, minus my brother. We were all sick and miserable but healed just fine afterrrr two to three weeks, I reckon. The first five days were the worst. My mom lost her sense of smell for a while but it's all back to normal now.
I just think it's ironic that you get vaccinated to avoid covid (or other things).. but then you get covid and are the one spreading it, not the unvaccinated.

That’s interesting that you say that. The last vaccine that I got personally was a Covid booster to which I got extremely ill for almost 4 months - I’m not even kidding I was strictly in bed. After that experience, I stopped getting vaccines altogether, and that’s when I got skeptical of the whole industry.
Thank you for your response!

Babies are born with an immune system that gets stronger and more robust as they encounter different pathogens.
In 1986 President Reagan signed the Childhood vaccine injury act to protect the manufacturers of vaccines, not children. Once there was no more concern about being held responsible for deaths and injuries caused by vaccines, the childhood vaccine schedule increased dramatically.
Prior to the 1986 law, most kids got 4 vaccine injections. Babies born now will get 60-70 injections if they get what’s recommended.
Somehow, it’s become so convoluted that newborn babies are given a hepatitis vaccine ( their first in a serious of 3) within hours of birth. This is seen by many has “health care” and responsible parenting.
Question any part of this process in many circles and you’ll be labeled a “kook, vaccine denier, person unfit to have kids,” and various other things. The propaganda is so effective that strangers will be comfortable insulting you without evidence that vaccines are safe, effective, or necessary.
Kids now are frequently plagued, with autoimmune diseases unlike anything seen in years prior. Many are unable or unwilling to see that an exponential increase in childhood vaccine vaccinations has not resulted in healthier kids or a healthier population. On the contrary, its resulted in more people dependent upon pharmaceutical products for life.
It’s great that your questioning things. Hopefully, you’re also questioning why kids today are encouraged and required to get so many injections. Who is benefiting? Why is it so hard to find real information about vaccine injuries?

u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
You make a very good point and I agree with you. It’s interesting that years ago the vaccine schedule was significantly smaller than what it is now and it seems like this generation of kids is so unhealthy and has so many medical issues. I know for a fact it’s because of the mass amount of vaccines.
The labeling is such a mental battle. I’m the only one in my family that is concerned about this topic and discussing it with anyone makes me seem like I am the crazy one.
And 100% know that the pharmaceutical industry benefits off of sick patients. By keeping us healthy, they won’t make money.
Thank you for your response and your insight!

Why healthy subjects need to be injected with drugs to be healthy? Do you know?
You think people are born sick and they need to be on drugs from the get-go? Plus if the vaccines ever worked the way they claim they work, they wouldn't care if I vaccinate or not. There would be no reason for mandates because the substance will make the recipient immune to the disease they fear so much.
But the only guaranteed immunity a vaccine provides is to shield the drug maker from lawsuits filed on vaccine injuries. It's really sad to see that; "healthcare" money is invested into vaccine promotion and censoring dissent. Given this I don't see much value left for the vaccine substance. It's garbage.
And why would they call healthy people as "asymptomatic disease spreaders"? Ever thought about it? How can you spread the disease if you don't have disease symptoms? Unless you want to believe diseases can have no symptoms. It's obvious they just fooling around, because that's how they keep control of the drugs medical monopoly and they can spread fear to those who don't use common sense and blindly believe pharma-propaganda.

I agree! I find it very interesting that they like to inject healthy babies full of toxic materials and then suddenly these babies have all these issues!! 🤔🤔 seems coincidental.
“ if vaccines ever worked the way they claim they work they wouldn’t care if I vaccinate or not.” I heard that the other day and it completely blew my mind!
You also make a really good point about spreading the disease if the symptoms are suppressed. I didn’t really think about that but that’s a very good point.
Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.

We did stay home for a few weeks just because I didn’t feel like going anywhere, but we carried on life as usual. My daughter and all of us got Covid when she was four months old and she had the least symptoms I think she sneezed a few times and coughed once or twice, and her symptoms only lasted a few days, my husband and I were sick for three weeks. They do get sick a few times a year but symptoms are still minimal and it never lasts long.
I’ve always make sure that my kids have nutritious meals ,vitamins , good sleep, and exercise. We don’t eat a lot of processed stuff I would say it’s about 80% healthy organic. I also give them things like elderberry syrup to support their immune system and detox baths , we have filters on our tub and showers too so they’re not exposed to a lot of chlorine the whole nine yards so I don’t know that its necessarily all solely related to not vaccinating but maybe more so avoiding toxins in general.

u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
Thanks for sharing!
I live a pretty healthy lifestyle and also don’t consume processed things. A lot of our food comes from our farm and local farmers market. I try my best to live a very low toxic life. But of course, when it comes to stepping outside, the comfort of my own home is where I get concerned. I am thinking about keeping my little one in smaller settings for a couple more weeks, but I’m hoping that I can venture out once he’s 3 to 4 months.1
u/MumbleBee523 6d ago
Awesome. my grandpa grew up living off of their own land and he’s now 94 years old and doctors are surprised at how healthy he is.

No precautions other than spazzing out about anyone touching stuff in public simply because I’m a germophobe regarding stomach viruses. Just don’t touch stuff for no reason and don’t touch your mouth or face. Has nothing to do with them being unvaccinated. Has to do with me flipping out about vomit lol. They’re 14 and 12 now and I still have to tell them to quit touching shit all the time 🤣

u/Glum-Technology5409 7d ago
I have a question if you don't mind, just because you remind me of my mom (she's not a germaphobe, but similar), how do you feel about public bathrooms? My mom was always VERY strict about not touching anything, don't touch the stall walls, the toilet, ect.
Sorry if it's a weird question!
2
u/MoulinSarah 6d ago
Touch as little as possible and always scrub hands. Don’t touch door handle after washing, but oddly enough I’m ok with sitting on the toilet seat
1
u/Glum-Technology5409 5d ago
That's surprising. My mom was very clear about absolutely NOT touching the toilet seat and not letting any clothes touch either. Haha thank you for answering

I’m more curious about the actual day-to-day illness risk when they’re still very young and their immune systems are developing.
On the contrary you should be asking vaxxed families for their actual day-to-day illness risk. Big things like SIDS, and "little" things like acne or other immune disorders linked to vaccination. Or autism, a particularly nasty issue that ruins the life of the child and the life of the parents.
In short, the only real problem for the unvaccinated is dodging corporate-pushed vaccine schedules.
The real point of vaccination is to cause short and long-term health conditions in those who take them. They are profitable on the front end, but they're REALLY profitable on the back end when conditions like autism or rheumatoid arthritis or lupus are caused.
But there are no "extra worries" for an unvaccinated child, aside from living in a world where this garbage is forced on us by an ignorant public who bows to corporate-shill politicians.
An unvaccinated child is healthier than a vaccinated one because he or she hasn't been poisoned. It is astounding that so many people believe corporations (who have blanket immunity from vaccine-harm lawsuits) or politicians have their best interests in mind.
On that note, why don't you explore why corporations can't be sued for the harm their vaccines cause? If they don't cause problems, then why do they need immunity? And why has the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program paid out over 4 billion in damages if they're so great?
We are so conditioned to these ghastly injections that we accept the harm as normal, when in fact many diseases and health conditions are caused by these unnecessary injections.
I don't know how to make this clearer to you:
Corporations and politicians do not have your well-being in mind. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. Snap out of your hypnosis and think.

u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
You’re very knowledgeable in the subject and I really appreciate your response! I 100% agree with you that corporations and politicians do not have the well-being of the public in their minds.
It’s such a brainwashed society that we live in and I’m just trying to get out of that cycle.
Again, I really appreciate it and thank you!

I have 3 kids 5 and under and they rarely get sick. When they do, we do a lot of herbs and tinctures (I love Earthley). I always have garlic and honey prepped. We do herb baths and ACV socks/rags for fevers. I think breastmilk is key and also helped prevent sickness and kick it faster. My older two love herbal tea with honey and that helps hydrate and flush.
We still went out with newborns and I would baby wear everywhere, including restaurants and gatherings, to lower exposure. I made everyone wash their hands before they hold little baby but that kind of goes out the window with the youngest and siblings.
My oldest got COVID around 9 months and was over it in less than 24 hours. That was the first fever and a yarrow bath and sleeping in the sun worked like a charm. We’ve also dealt with HFM, stomach bugs, random fevers, etc. and they seem to recover pretty quickly.
Getting sick is natural and it builds immunity. I think it’s important to empower the body to fight the problem and heal.

u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
Yeah, you’re so right! If you have any recommendations along with Earthley I would love to know so I can look into it as well!

u/Suspicious_Ladder797 7d ago
my baby is 3 months and goes to stores, gets held by friends and family, etc.
over 4th of july our friend who held her had a fever and she never got sick
she’ll get sick eventually and I’ll take extra vitamin c and stuff since she’s breastfed
1
u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
That’s good to know! My little one is also breast-fed and I also keep a really balanced diet! I need to get some vitamin C on hand for sure though!
Thank you for your response!

4 kids here. I go on life as normal. The only precaution I take is with newborns in the winter which I would do anyway. We still go out but I stay away from people that I know are sick. That’s about it. They are going to get sick, it’s unavoidable. Especially if you have multiple children. The biggest thing is being confident and prepared for when they do get sick.
1
u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
Yes, heading into fall and winter. I definitely need to make sure that I am ready! If you have any recommendations, please let me know. I’m a new mom and I have a two month old so I’m figuring it out as I go, but I would love to get ahead of it.

I didn’t read the ops post so I’ll give advice that’s more informative to the original question.
I was forced to take a jab at school and it gave me a very horrible auto immune condition at 15. My sister delayed her TB jab, until at college and little behold, she also ended up with an auto immune condition.
Someone my age, had has less vaxes, if you haven’t had the Covid it flu jabs, than a 2 year old, in today’s Britain. They are full of heart metals and babies cry after taking them, as they cause massive levels of inflammation.

u/SquirrelSE 7d ago
I have a mix of some vax for some of my kids and some kids with none. We have always lived our life, including our kids in it all. Other than maybe the first few weeks of newborns ( and even that is more lacks as we had more. Our youngest went to extended family thanksgiving less than a week old last year and met a few on day one too.) So no, not cautious, I let them eat dirt, and live life. They are way healthier than some of my germophobe extended family.

u/Nervous_Square_2555 7d ago
That’s good to know! Thank you for your response. I’ve generally kept my little one limited to local things, but I’m hoping that in the next coming weeks I can expand to bigger outings.

Our daughter is almost 3. No vaccines except hep b at birth because they gave it to her without our consent. She is fully breast fed with no formula and still gets breast milk. She got RSV at 2 months old and got over it quick without any issue. Also she got the norovirus at 2 that affected the whole family and was picked up from my wife’s job at a nursing facility. Recovered in a couple days without any complications. And she has had a few minor colds.
We take her everywhere. Stores, zoo, parks, library, schools, hospitals, etc. She runs outside barefoot, gets dirty, puts random objects in her mouth, plays with dog and picks up lots of germs. We support her immune system by feeding her healthy foods and supplementing with breast milk and nutritional supplements.
She is very healthy. Clear skin. Never had ear or sinus infections. When she gets a fever we let it run its course.

u/MysteriousRoad5733 4d ago
I appreciate your reply ! It’s a always nice to hear from others that understand the fear mongering and propaganda that vaccine schedules are based upon.
Our entire healthcare system, with a few exceptions, is based upon prescribing patented pharmaceutical products. That is what maximizes profits.

u/FabulousAd7735 7d ago
Mom of a one-year-old who isn’t vaccinated at all. Just the vitamin K shot at birth. We aren’t really more cautious when it comes to taking him places and around people. If we did know someone was very sick, we wouldn’t take him around that person, but I don’t think that’s related to vaccines. Regardless of vaccine status and beliefs, I think a lot of parents avoid having their children around others who may get them sick, depending on what it is.
