I have huge regrets in regards to vaccination - in choosing to vaccinate, that is. And I never really perceived it as a choice. I just believed the standard message, and just accepted the vaccine schedule, etc.
Like I said, now I think that was a huge mistake. Covid sure reversed that line of thinking dramatically.
The funny thing is, I actually remember how I thought about vaccines, before covid. I thought parents who didn't vaccinate their kids were evil.
That thought didn't just bubble up in me spontaneously, it was planted there by the media I consumed. I seriously used to think up until a few years ago that "anti-vaxxers" were complete kooks. And now I'm one of them - not necessarily completely anti-vaccine, but definitely I regard them much, much more skeptically.
One resource to look at is Children's Health Defense - https://childrenshealthdefense.org/.
I wouldn't say I'm quite at "huge regrets", but I relate to that pretty strongly.
In a way we were a little fortunate that during the pandemic wellness checkups were a little bit more spaced out and I always opted for the later options of follow up visit dates. That spaced the vaccines out a bit more, which was mostly what I wanted to do.
