I'd suggest reading some about how tetanus effects the human body. It's pretty gruesome and may get you to change your mind. I've probably had 20 tetanus shots in my life with no ill effects. I'm not saying that no one has ever had a reaction to a vaccine, just that avoiding an extremely painful disease and possible death is better than the minuscule risk posed by the vaccine.

I had a friend who worked in Reproductive Endocrinology, so he followed a wide range of journals in the field of reproduction. He'd share some of the more.....interesting papers, including one that described a workplace injury that was decidedly not work-related, which the victim was apparently so embarrassed about - and rightly so - that he repaired the wound with an industrial stapler, and only went to the doctor when, unsurprisingly, he had a very serious infection in a very sensitive area. This whole thread reminds me of that.

psychosomatic symptoms are real and should be taken seriously in my opinion. People have literally died from fright, its a thing that can happen. This came up a while ago when I was telling my buddy at work that I was pretty sure I was feeling ill because someone's vaccine had shed, and he asked for a mechanism for how this could be possible.

...this is a very strong argument for not reading and subscribing to vaccine conspiracy theories. If the power of the mind has some control over the wellness of the body, why would you pollute the mind ? Makes no sense. They are connected, and either is subject to harmful infection.

I may have been overdue for a tetanus booster but after a dog bite a few months ago they gave me the fancy TDAP. Why not? Needles are smaller and less painful than they used to be.

Man-pain that is indescribable >>
1) - Passing a kidney stone
2) - Having a Foley Catheter tube quickly shoved into one's urethra until it makes its was to the bladder
Never dealt with #1
As far as #2, I had an overzealous nurse who following my saturation transperineal 3 Dimension Prostate MAPPING Biopsy took pleasure in completing the task at hand

As far as those who refuse vaccinations, I see it as Darwin in action.

Whenever I have a procedure that requires me the stop my Warfarin, I have to shoot up Lovenox into my belly fat twice a day.
After my first heart surgery, the Foley that I didn’t know I had in came out. (It must have been inserted while I was under anesthesia.) An ICU nurse asked me if I had pulled it out. I responded “Yeah, I saw a plastic tube sticking up my **** and thought it would be a good idea to pull it out.” I really did say that. I also told her that she would not be putting it back in while I was conscious.
