Your reply is such a bad generalization. I'm getting really sick of these "these anti-vax folks" statements.
Me and my wife carefully considered every recommended vaccination by reading studies on the vaccines, their side-effects and general success rate. We chose to have our son vaccinated against measels (and others) because it made sense. However other vaccines against other childhood diseases didn't do so great a job. So we decided against them.
Just saying "get (your kid) vaxed with every vax out there" is just as bad advice as not vaccinating at all. You also don't have to believe in this "vaccines create autism" bs. Every medicine has side-effects. The question is just what they are and if you should prefer them to the disease, maybe even if the vaccine just protects only in 30% of the cases.
There are more things to consider:
- Vaccinating a child to early (especially if it is breastfed) will seriously dampen the success of the vaccine.
- Lots of childhood diseases are especially dangerous to adult people. So it makes a lot more sense to vaccinate them (again).
- Mothers that have had childhood diseases as kids will give their offspring a better immunization against those.
- wavefunction 7y ago"Anti-vaxxer" has a specific meaning. Considering that you are not an "Anti-vaxxer" I would urge you to take your self-righteousness and share it with someone who values it. I'm not even going to go into your nonsense about mis-vaccinating or whether or not your analysis was even accurate. Follow the advice of your skilled pediatrician and the standards bodies they belong to. Good day, sir!
- Vinnl 7y agoThen again, you mentioned "these anti-vaxxers" in response to a remark about unvaccinated people in general, as if your assertions held for all of them.
