thank You all for another tips and good words. So far I could succesfully postpone shots at least for a few weeks without bigger problems I think, but this is a tiresome game with many factors to always have in mind ( law exclusions, law interpretations, influencing people, protective considerations)

Today the pressure of compliance is brought to bear on everyone. It's really an insane world we are living in at the moment. Sometimes I can hardly stand it.
Indeed... its a tough challenge.
I know this post reference is a few years old, yet Mari, your seem to be doing the best you can do more recently, and as the bolded part says, there is a lot of pressure.
While traveling home, my partner called to let me know our granddaughter is arriving tomorrow, and she is all but 20 months of age. Before she arrives she is scheduled to receive vaccinations. The parents, like most all parents, are under unjust pressure from all sides and yet they have also read up on the subject. I'm to blame for that part having talked and sent them reading material and hoping it would help lead to new decisions of their making - this was not obviously successful. It's more complicated than that too, as both parents have different opinions, as do the families et al.
Anyway, after the call this wave of deep sadness came over me for my granddaughter, and although by now I should understand the emotional reactions, I was angry, while thinking what can I do. The point is, there is nothing I can do that will not infringe on their free will even though I want to intervene.
I did discuss mitigation measure with my son, however, it is up to them and thus I'm relegated to being an observer. My anger, though, cry's out to those who would dish out all this pressure on young people, to those who know full well of what they are doing and of the science that has been made obscure while the corrupted science is placed on a pedestal. There is plenty of anger to go around to those at the WHO, the policy makers, the revolving door of government and pharma, the physicians who either add pressure because they have to for their very jobs or physicians who don't know but are obliged to know for the health of their patients. This is a large list indeed, so the anger needs to be channeled somehow to do the only thing that can be done, which is to try and add some light to the issue.
Although this is in part a rant, and the steps feel like they go backwards, it's perhaps a plea also to those who may feel the same and can find a better way forward, a better way to support those that fight to bring their scientific work out of obscurity into the light - god knows there is enough evidence in their work.
Thanks for reading and good luck with things, Mari!
