That's very common among religious homeschoolers. I mean seriously at least half of them. There were even families like that in our homeschool group, even though were were overseas military and therefore they couldn't get away with some things (vaccines were required, Family Advocacy kept an eye on corporal punishment, etc.). But yeah, if you hang around the religious homeschooling types you'll meet a ton of them.Has anyone ever known a family like this?
I think my dad had the anthrax vaccine while he was in the Navy. They tend to use military members as guinea pigs for new vaccines, so sometimes there are weird side effects that haven't been figured out yet. But usually it works out.
My mom was iffy about vaccines. I got all of them as a baby (she hadn't heard whatever made her iffy about vaccines yet), my second brother got most of his, my youngest brother wasn't vaccinated at all until the Navy MADE her get him vaccinated, he was about 18 months old when they finally cracked down. Guess who has been diagnosed as on the spectrum? And was showing signs of it before her was vaccinated? Not that I'm saying the rest of us are neurotypical, lol, he's probably the smartest for pursuing diagnosis. But it definitely wasn't caused by vaccines.
