I am not an anti vaxxer by any means, I understand herd immunity and I know vaccines don't cause autism, but I kinda wish I knew if I would have survived without any of the vaccinations I received as a child. As it stands I feel like I "cheated" by being born in a first world country to parents who intended to have me and prudently planned for my pediatric care.

Am I some delicate greenhouse flower that can only live in an environment of contrived interventions and coddling? I'd rather be a stand of indefatigable wild onions, perennial and brazen, living and/or dying freely.

Anyway, I regret that I had such a stupidly spoiled and easy childhood and that my whole existence may hinge on having access to first world artifices.
