Turns out the answer is the shots don't work. Kids with the MMR vax keep getting measles. So the CDC logic is, if one shot doesn't work, you need two, or three, or more. Sounds familiar.
This has always been the case. Before you head off into anti-vax land, the way vaccines work is they give you one shot, and after a couple of weeks an x amount of the population are supposedly immunized from the disease, but it's not always the case.
So you're given a "booster" / second dose, which is supposed to cover the rest of the population who don't get fully immunized after the first dose.
This is also why you get a booster for some vaccines 5-10 years after the case, because your immunization against the virus tends to fade over time (your body kinda "forgets" how to make it, I think?). Considering the alternatives, it's a small price to pay, and most importantly compared to this UNTESTED VACCINE there's solid data behind these older vaccines like the MMR. They know what to expect and know how it works.
The reason why even people like Bret Weinstein is pushing back against the mRNA vaccines is because of the limited scientific data around it. Nobody has proper answers to it, at all, and we're all supposed to be putting all our chips on the table around it and potentially cause harm to people for it?
During normal situations they don't rush out a drug that's untested with no known info about its long term consequences to millions of people, so how in any way is it scientifically, no, ETHICALLY moral to fucking do it? Even during a pandemic for something that isn't dropping people as much as initial estimates claim it should?
You're essentially running into "the public good" versus your own good (or the good of your child). Healthcare professionals are a lot more like HR in these situations; they aren't your friend because they're really working for "the company". In this case, that company is the collective good - or their conception of it. Who determines that perception is a question no one is properly addressing anymore, and the last year and a half has only exacerbated and accelerated the disconnect.
A huge part of the disintegration of trust in medicine can be attributed to the disappearance of "the family/town doctor". When the same physician treated everyone in your family over the course of decades, there was a reasonable expectation that he or she would prioritize your individual health over mandates and narratives put forward by medical bureaucrats and big pharma executives. Now that most doctors are typically random and unfamiliar, they don't feel compelled by personal relationships to administer patient-first care. No, the job today is to apply the singular corporate-approved approach to every patient. If that means your child dies, so be it.
Hearing how the doctors and nurses treated your completely valid concerns for your daughter after a vaccine injury just pisses me off.
Congrats on being a great father! Very few parents these days are capable of critical thinking skills.
Sorry to hear what your family went through. I hope all of your children will remain healthy!
The vaccination schedules for kids these days are completely fucked.
Decades ago when I was a kid, there were very few required vaccines.
