5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please read our disclosure policy here

People shouldn’t have to vaccinate their kids. In fact, parents absolutely know what’s best for their kids in every situation, which is why you’ve never heard of a mom calling a doctor at two AM because her child has a fever.

Moms automatically know exactly what to do. They know better than anyone what their child needs or doesn’t need.

That’s why the vaccination debate is so ridiculous to me…because moms inherently know more than everyone. Which brings me to this… 5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids.

5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids #vaccinate #vaccinatedebate #vaccinations #kidsvaccinations #vaccinatekids

When a woman conceives a child, the entirety of human knowledge is written into her essence and as that child is brought forth unto this world, that knowledge flowers in her mommy brain and every decision she makes for her child is absolutely the right, and only right decision.

So who are we to judge those moms that choose NOT to vaccinate THEIR kids?

Before you get your mom panties in a knot, hear me out…

5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids

1. You don’t like them, anyway.

I get it. Some kids are just born a little more awful than others. So if your plan is to not vaccinate your kid in hopes that they’ll catch some horrible virus that’ll off them so you can start over, sure. That makes total sense.

It’s evil, and disgusting, and I hope you get a million fire ant bites, but hey, the good news is that’s less likely to happen to you than your child catching something deadly because you’re an inherent dumb-dumb.

2. You’re more scared of big scientific sounding words than you are of viruses that have killed millions upon millions of people.

I get it! Vaccines have a lot of big, scary words. And, some of the ingredients in vaccines have been linked to carcinogenic risks and I bet even a very eensy teensy tiny portion of the population might be allergic to some of the ingredients and they might have a bad reaction.

Know what? That’s why the doctor keeps you at the office for 15 minutes after your child receives a vaccine. That way if they react, the doctor can fix it. Nifty set up, huh?

As for the scary words, know what other scientific word kills people? Dihydrogen monoxide. And yet you still put it into your body every single day. So put away your dictionary, and stop freaking out over words that you maybe don’t understand.

3. You believe all internet memes are true.

“Gandhi was against vaccines. A mother flipping meme told me so.” Yeah, I’ve seen that meme. And I’ve looked it up. And you know what he compared vaccines to? Eating beef.

Vaccines are as bad as eating beef because cows and all life is sacred. So here’s where that comes from: the small pox vaccine was derived from cows infected with cow pox. Which means that every person who received a small pox vaccine was being given a small amount of cow.

I can definitely understand why a man whose religion holds cows as sacred would be against being injected with one. But unless you, too, are a fruitarian (which he was), perhaps you should put down your Big Mac and go get your kids their freakin’ vaccines.

4. You’d rather your children build their immunity to things like polio and measles naturally…just like you did.

Oh, wait. You didn’t have polio did you. Know why? ‘CAUSE YOUR PARENTS GOT YOU VACCINATED!

5. You know more about vaccines from that one article you read online than your pediatrician knows after eight years of higher education and thousands of hours of study.

I’ll just let the people in this video address that one…

Look, I understand that I don’t live in your house, I’ve not experienced your life and I certainly can’t judge you for your parenting choices. But I’m going to anyway.

Not getting your children vaccinated is really stupid. Like, it’s really stupid.

It makes me furious and makes the blood in my veins boil with hatred toward you for putting your children in such a vulnerable and dangerous position. And if it just affected YOUR children, I might even be able to hold back my vitriol; but, it doesn’t.

Your infected child can infect a child who is too young to be vaccinated. Your child can infect a child who is fighting cancer, or whose immunity has been compromised by something else entirely out of their control.

YOUR child can act as a walking time bomb and spread illnesses that haven’t been around for years all because the idea of giving them a medically sound shot scares you.

Your child deserves better. Get your kids vaccinated. Don’t be that parent that we all hate.

Jamie’s Note: To those parents who can’t vaccinate because their child is immunocompromised, or allergic, etc. this obviously isn’t directed at you. In fact, you should be the most pissed off at the people who don’t vaccinate their perfectly healthy children– because that is how your children stay safe!

  1. Your all being lied to and lead by the new world order.
    This article was as stupid as the look of the lady that put it together.
    Makes me laugh to think people think Doctors know what they are talking about. Their study materials are designed by the CDC whom is owned and operated by the new world order. A pool of lies and cover ups. I like the fact parents murder their kids slowly with vaccines, I learn so much on what not to do.
    But every one has to be a sheep and follow the herd other wise your “not right”.

    1. You really should try to use correct grammar when making points about how other people are stupid.

      1. Bazinga! Love it?. Grammar matters?

  2. No, Many Mums don’t know what to do or how to react to some symptoms. So get that into your head. There’s lot of support especially for fist mothers Because of vaccination many diseases are no longer a treat….Like polio. Ever watched a child die from whooping cough because carrier who wasn’t vaccinated endegered child on contact.
    Please stop spreading false information.
    Let mothers gather their own facts…….Isaid facts not some made up opinion.

    1. I never realized Polio was such a treat!

  3. Never question science… because it has never changed with new information. Nothing should ever be looked at objectively. Everything the government tells you is true, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, floride, non of it is bad for you. Trust the pharmaceutical companies, They know what’s best. Never look deep into anything that is not “for the greater good” and never spend hours researching a subject that is controversial. Just trust what the media tells you and go with what the majority of people believe. Yeah, that’s safe.

    1. So true. People are brain dead, western people are becoming more dependant on Goverments and believe every thing they are being told.
      People watch channel 10 and see a show like the living room and believe every thing these paid actors are telling them.
      So funny.

      1. You fatmummy demonstrate real good brain dead.

      2. Speaking of brain dead…??

    2. Your dead right..you took the words out of my mouth!!

  4. lucky you, your kids weren’t vaccine injured.

      1. My neighbor’s daughter was vaccine injured. She is 24 and will forever be age 2 mentally. She had a serious reaction. Her doctors refused to vaccinate her other three children. This article is not funny at all, and only steels the fence betweeen those that vaccinate and those that don’t. I did vaccinate, but after meeting my neighbor, I will never judge another parent for not vaccinating.

  5. Do some of you even know what a vaccine really is? Some of your comments suggest you don’t. Yes there ARE side effects obviously, because they’re given a weakened form of the disease itself. It’s so your body can build antibodies to fight off the real thing. They may get temporarily sick, but everyone should know this!
    And honestly, unless you yourself are a doctor or child pediatrician you probably don’t know as much as you think you do. Becoming a mother doesn’t automatically mean you know everything, and it’s arrogant to think so. We have doctors and pediatricians for a reason. So sit your butt down, chill out, and let them do their jobs.

    1. Doctors don’t know what they think they know.

      1. read my name please.

      2. but they probably know at least a little more than you do

    2. You are welcome to trust your doctor, go get your flu shot and your prescription filled. Perhaps you should take your meds b4 commenting online. You seem a bit angry. Nobody is stopping you or cares what you and your doc choose. Whay are you so adamant about everybody else sharing your stupidity? Doctors are not scientist and know about as much as me or you about the science behind vaccines. Doctors do not administer any test or experiments to prove or dis prove the safety of vaccines. Doctors are simply told like everybody else by the cdc that all is good. Please b4 you try to high horse your opinion on others try to find any study done by the scientist or cdc that proves it is safe to inject aluminum into the bloodstream of infants.

      1. “Doctors are not scientist”

    3. Dangerous advice, whether or not you agree to vaccinate, blindly trusting doctors is far from advisable.

  6. This topic brings out the vicious in people. Wow.

    If it is true that vaccines protect the vaccinated, then why are vaxers so defensive of their actions? If you’ve chosen to vaccinate your child, then your child should be safe from all those evil non-vaxers’ children. But sometimes it sounds like vaxers sacrificed their own children so that others didn’t have to vaccinate theirs.

    Like others below state, non-vaxers aren’t ignorant or lazy. They have made their choice based on more research than most vaxers. Most vaxers stroll into their pediatrician’s office, handing over their babies/children to the staff so that their children may be vaccinated WITHOUT doing ANY research.

    Perhaps the biggest blame should be placed upon vaccine developers and distributors. If there were no side-effects then this should be clearly stated, and the discussion would be over. Non-vaxers question safety because there is a lot doubt.

    I’m not against vaccinations, in principle. But I am extremely against all the extra unnecessary ingredients that are added, including aluminium.

    This video isn’t funny at all, and I can’t imagine any real doctors speaking this way unless it’s to reach a bunch of immature, vile sheeple who are sitting idly by waiting for their next piece of human flesh to sink their teeth into, be it vaccination, sexuality, skin color, income level. Who knows. Who cares.

    1. First of all , aluminium isn’t a word. Second of all, there is ZERO evidence-based research proving ANY benefit on not vaccinating your children. Diseases that were nearly eradicated such as polio are resurfacing because people such as you believe that vaccinations are a cash crop for pharmaceutical corporations when in fact, they are a form of prophylaxis against disease. This is beneficial because rather than wait till children contract a harmful and contagious disease, we are able to save them from even contracting it. This saves the child from harm, immunosuppression, and time from their precious childhood. This saves parents from financial stress and time taken away from their schedules to care for a sick child. This PREVENTS death rather than allowing a PROVEN (research on databases such as PubMed or UpToDate) preventable vaccination to go incomplete rendering this young human’s immune system to become compromised. I am baffled by the uneducated individual who goes off heresay from the media or unproven articles that oppose the overwhelming majority of evidence that states otherwise. It is simply unbelievable and embarrassing.

      1. Aluminium isn’t a word? If you can assert that while you have your browser open, your particular problem becomes very very obvious.

      2. Aluminium is the English word (Al-you-min-ee-umm)
        Aluminum is the American word for the same thing (Al-oo-min-um)

    2. Vaccines are not 100% effective. The more people who are vaccinated, the more effective they are.

    3. Let’s be honest here – you’re only jumping on the “Aluminium scare train” because the “Thimerosal/Mercury scare train” is long gone. There is no proof that the Alum used in vaccines causes any side effect.

      The whole “it’s a metal” argument is just plain silly. Everybody already has a good amount of metal in their bodies as it is the form of Iron, Zinc, Copper and many other metals. If you have too much of those metals in your body, you’ll end up with issues. But the same is true for any other substance you can imagine – for example; too much oxygen can cause lung damage despite it being critically important to the functioning of our bodies.

      And once the Alum issue is removed from vaccines, what next? What will be the next big boogey man that you and others will seize upon to justify your already preconceived notions?

    4. It’s not a matter of belief in this situation. You see I’m sure that some parents believe that beating their kid to a bloody pulp would make them behave better, are you proud of those parents for standing up for their beliefs? Really at the end of the day when it comes to a child’s health and well-being, we can make few allowances for potentially reckless and at worst deadly mistakes.

  7. Toxins surround us everyday. We inhale them and even eat them. Does that make it safe to inject them into the bloodstream of an infant. Find the study that proves aluminum in the amount given in the 1 vaccine it is used in to be safe for infants. Good luck.

      1. When aluminum is injected into the muscle/blood stream, it does not get intercepted by the mucus membranes, or detoxed in the same way, by the immune system. The amount of aluminum in the vaccines is much higher than the safe upper limit, when the modern schedule is adhered to. There’s also the issue of various other metals which increase the toxicity of aluminum when combined. A recent Italian study showed there was a lot of “burnt matter” as well as nano-particles of metals, that were not listed in the ingredients list. As you should know, there is quite a difference between ingesting an element vs. injecting it. Most of us used to be pro-vaccine, until we saw a child we love, disintegrate before our eyes. It may be that the vaccine was not to total cause, but in many cases, it certainly convinces the parents and family of the child. There are many cases of MD’s who have witnessed this, but, perhaps there’s a risk to spreading the word?

    1. Measles caused 2.6 million deaths per year before vaccines existed. In 2014 115,000 people died of measles; mainly in undeveloped countries where vaccines were not available. Read my name please.

      1. This is not a legitimate source that is peer reviewed – I would have looked at PubMed rather than an obvious pro (in any direction) website in WordPress which is a free-for-all – this is like using wikipedia as a primary source.

        People – I suggest if you want to do research understand the difference between legitimate and non-legitimate, primary and secondary sources. Do some courses at university or a tertiary education system. There is an actual skill to doing proper research.

        If you do this you will understand the flawed logic of touting the MMS=autism research as it was heavily debunked by many, many areas in scientific research, the researcher lost his right to practice medicine and his conflict of interest was publicised – yet I still hear people using this as their primary source of information – this shows a lack of proper attention to detail in their research methodology.

        I don’t care either way vac or non-vac but if you don’t do your own research in a proper fashion using appropriate tools of research I can argue to you that the sky is actually purple and air will kill you.

  8. The tone of this article is very condescending towards women. You know that fathers are responsible for their children also. Fathers make decisions for their children too.
    And just a thought – yes some tiny portion of the population have adverse reactions to vaccinations. My child was one of them and the fall out has been devastating and heartbreaking for us. I am not against vaccinations – obviously, because I have vaccinated. I’m not telling anyone not to just because my child had a serious adverse reaction. But sometimes I wish that people wouldn’t be so flippant about the minority who do experience an adverse reaction – we are real people. I guess unless it was your precious child it’s just a side thought – a throw away remark, a ‘well it won’t be my kid’. If it did happen to your child you would be a little more thoughtful of vaccinations. But it’s ok because it never will right? That’s what I thought too.
    So yes please all vaccinate as my child will never be vaccinated again due to her reaction and if there is herd immunity she will be protected.

  9. All else aside, your condescending and misogynistic tone is absolutely vile, and you should be ashamed of yourself. I do not see what you were trying to achieve here except exercising your nastiness. It certainly was not to educate or persuade. Are you feeling frustrated? At a loss? Perhaps you could write about Five Reasons Not to navigate the treacherous waters of the American medical establishment without taking rational, informed, autonomous measures to protect the health or your child. Or maybe Five Reasons Not to be a snarky, alienating, kowtowing, anti-mother fuckwit. Or, I know! Direct your special kind of energy at the dads. I image your approach to them would be more “Dude, look, I get it, when it comes to protecting your kids, you are the ultimately authority, be see vaccination? It’s The Bomb! here’s why blah blah blah.” The above piece is utterly reprehensible.

    1. Hmm, wow, it’s almost as if she was trying to be funny. Like this is some kind of, oh, I don’t know, joke post. As if, just maybe, this woman has a sense of humour. Oh goodness. Someone speaking their mind in a humorous tone? In this day and age? What is this world coming to.

      1. Funny it was not unless one enjoys condescending snarky rubbish.

    2. I was so thrown off by her attitude the entire article, it was so snobby and uneducated sounding. thank you for posting your comment!

    3. Congratulations! You win the prize! YOU have a brain and a vocabulary greater than 10! At least someone can write intelligently here, and spell big words correctly. Seriously, it is uncommon to find your level of intelligence and writing skills on social media these days. Oh wait, I didn’t read down far enough. Never mind. Dang it! Thought I had found intelligent life. No, not here.

  10. Don’t be so ignorant! You must not know that formaldehyde and heavy metals are common ingredients in vaccines. I’m not against vaccines, I’m against unsafe chemicals added to vaccines.

    1. Ashley, you’re the ignorant one. You think you know all the ingredients to everything you eat, the stuff you feed your kids, the shit you use to clean up their mess, the stuff in their tooth paste, the water, the AIR? Come on.

      1. DBS, so since you CAN’T know everything just ignore what you CAN know? that is just stupid.

    2. Formaldehyde occurs naturally in foods, and foods may be contaminated as a result of
      fumigation ( e.g. of grain), cooking (as a combustion product) and release from
      formaldehyde-resin-based tableware. Formaldehyde has been used as a bacteriostatic agent in some foods, such as cheese. Fruits and vegetables typically contain 3–60 mg/kg, milk and milk products about 1 mg/kg, meat and fish 6–20 mg/kg and shellfish 1–100 mg/kg. The daily intake is difficult to evaluate, but a rough estimate from the available data is in the range of 1.5–14 mg/day for an average adult, most of it in a bound and unavailable form. Sorce WHO – http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/123062/AQG2ndEd_5_8Formaldehyde.pdf

      The highest does of formaldehyde in a vaccine is 0.02mg so to say formaldehyde is an issue in vaccines is flawed.

      Heavy Metals wise – definitely a bad thing to have in your body, but I wonder how much more you are exposed to every day compared to that found in vaccines?

    3. If the chemicals in vaccines were unsafe, or in unsafe concentrations, then they wouldn’t be put in vaccines. Full stop. The medical profession isn’t in the business of willfully harming children.

      Did you know that some doctors are prescribing rat poison to senior citizens? Shocking isn’t it? No, it’s called Warfarin, and used in the correct amount it saves lives by preventing blood clots.

      The dose makes the poison, and yes there are certainly chemicals in vaccines that, if you ingest enough, can be harmful. But the doses they come in are harmless, and that’s why they can be safely given to children.

      1. All vaccines carry risk. It states it in the manufacturer’s inserts. There exists the vaccine injury compensation program. You need to account for this in your definition of harmless.

    4. Your body produces more formaldehyde naturally than what is in a vaccine. It’s all about the concentration of the compound.

    5. You ingest more of those things each year then a vaccine would give you, and that’s every year! Read my name please.

  11. Just a little comment, I have been on the fence, with my first blindly I did whatever the doctor said then I heard all the vaccine controversy and decided that yes I was in favor of vaccinating, but my sequencing was a little different (not as many and not as soon). Then I had a 5 month old baby contracted spinal meningitis and to make it worse I had a son with Leukemia at the time. Which was a double whammy because my sons immune system was very vulnerable. I thank my Heavenly Father that they have no long term effects from this disease. Then my son with leukemia got the chicken pocks, no big deal to most children, but to him it meant chicken pocks in his lungs, life threatening. I think because we have not been affected by these diseases in epidemic proportions we do not realize what a blessing immunizations are.

  12. Writing sarcastically does not make you look clever. In fact, it makes you appear unsure of your argument. This form of sarcasm is used as a way for a person to try and improve their standing and reputation by putting down another person’s views. This proves that you are trying to make yourself look more intelligent and are trying to move further up in hierarchy. Studies show that people such as yourself tend to have low self-esteem and require the use of put downs such as sarcasm in order to make themselves feel better.

  13. First off, I work in vaccine outreach and believe that everyone who can should vaccinate their children.

    That being said, parents who are afraid of vaccinations want to protect their children. They totally, 100% believe deep down that they making the safer choice, and do their own research to draw their own conclusions, EVEN if I think that research is flawed. (If the scientific community had done a better job of safeguarding against frauds and didn’t push “Publish or Perish”, we probably wouldn’t even be having this discussion, but that’s a different point.)

    Knowing all that and coming at them from the angle of “lol you just don’t like your kids anyways” is completely, 100% counterproductive.

  14. Oh my god I am laughing so hard at some of these comments. Yall realize kids are dying more to other causes than diseases because you are the minority right? A shitload of people vaccinate. That’s why your kid ain’t dropping their faces in the mud yet but you keep populating this earth with your wild beliefs and see that change. Lol.

    Mary thanks for this article. I saw a family member post it and was about to be so angry with them and then I read it. Wonderful laugh.

    1. what would you say to someone who cant vaccinate their child because of a rare disease? You’re uneducated and ignorant.

      1. Wow, Ashley it’s you again, no surprised. Did you not see the disclaimer at the bottom of the article? The one that specifically addresses parents with kids unable to be vaccinated? You just LOVE to jump the gun, don’t you?

      2. There are exceptions, of course. Read my name please.

  15. I hope some more antivaxers post…I almost have my bingo card filled out.

    For those who are on the fence, anecdotal stories and fraudulent doctors aren’t proof; thousands and thousands of hours of research and hundreds of studies have proven time and time again that vaccines are safe and effective whereas thousands of years of human history and millions and millions of deaths from these diseases have shown that the illnesses they prevent are DEADLY.

    Do yourself, your kids and society a favor – Vaccinate your kids!

    1. Wonder if they, the antivaxers, realise that they expose themselves and their kids to the same products/toxins etc in orders of magnitude every day than what can be found as trace amounts in vaccines.

      1. I think it’ s safe to say that they do not!

    2. Do yourself a favour – do some research that wasn’t written by a vested interest

      1. ‘a vested interest’ is not someone or something that can write.

  16. Mary – Why won’t you comment on the responses to your article? Huh? Comment already. You have nothing to say? You are going to stick by your article’s false statements?

    1. You look absolutely insane right now. I am not saying you are an idiot for voicing your opinion, but I am saying you are an idiot for spamming comments in some sort of induced rage fit and then angrily “calling out” the author. The author most likely is writing another article and does not have time to drop everything and reply to you because your panties are in a bunch. If you are so insecure in your views that an article written by someone you have never and most likely will never meet sends you into such a temper tantrum, then perhaps you are not as sure as you originally thought about your decisions to not vaccinate.

      1. *Decision to no longer vaccinate

      2. No, he’s not the idiot. That’s the other guy’s name. Please read his name.

      1. You are an idiot: you are not an idiot 🙂

  17. I have one more thing to say:

    Mary Malcolm – you are everything that is wrong with our society. Apparently, any idiot with a computer is allowed to publish something utterly stupid, since there is no editor between them and their readers. You are a terrible, terrible person. Shame on you.

    1. Interesting comment to post, since your post pretty much covers all Antivax websites. Publishing non-peer reviewed articles, sensationalizing uneducated apparent links to cause fear in parents where it is unwarranted.

    2. well then, why don’t you publish something utterly brilliant and enlightening? Go on, do it

  18. You are, it seems, a person who hates. “Don’t be that parent that we all hate….” Who are the “we” that you represent? The ignorant, the uninformed, those who were lucky to have a child who did not have negative responses to vaccines?

    This world is full of hate, and you are adding to it. Look at your article. You attempt at being ironic is obvious, and you just come off as smug and someone who does not have all the facts.

    You know who else hates? Terrorists! Hate is hate is hate. You know how many children die from murder and terror compared to the chicken pox or measles? Why don’t you spend your time doing something about that?

    Perhaps there is an acceptable level of hate. Is there an acceptable level of hate that one can have and emit from their being that is okay? If you so, what is it? Is your level of hate the yardstick that one should measure an acceptable level of hatred against to make sure they are hating the right amount and not too much?

    You are not all-knowing regarding vaccines or their impacts. I won’t even go into the impact it has had on my little one. Do you have children? Have you suffered their pain with them at 2 AM in the morning? Have you seen your child go from normal temperature to over 103 degrees in just hours, and watch them as they lose their joy and energy and become lethargic (due to a vaccine administration)? Yes, you, and many others will say that a few days of fever is better than the time it will take to get over chicken pox. Sure, that is not something a rational parent will argue against. Keep in mind that there are many other issues related to the vaccines that you don’t mention.

    Have you seen your child go from being relatively normal when it comes to food to having to restrict what they ate because the vaccines caused their system to create an almost irreversible inflammatory response in their gastrointestinal system, changing their life forever? Limiting now the food their system can tolerate. Somehow I doubt it. The fact that the vaccine can and does trigger an immunological impact on a child’s development because too much was administered too soon never occurred to you?

    Anyway, you may be a blogger, but you are also a hater. Many of us have suffered watching our children go from normal to having a challenged/compromised immune system, clearly related to vaccine administration. But don’t tell anyone that.

    1. Calm down-she is entitled to her opinion. I understand that your mommy senses are tingling, but Mary is defending against the stupid reasons to not vaccinate your child. There is a difference between making the informed decision to not vaccinate your child and choosing not to because some other mom in your yoga class did not.

      Please put the time and energy you spend commenting on blog posts into your own life and maybe you will see a difference in it.

    2. I wont comment on the rest of your answer, I’m not a parent and dont think I can talk about that. However, measles kill about 115’000 each year. You know how many they killed in 1980 before widespread vaccinations? 2,6 million, the majority of which were children >5years old, all with parents, siblings, grandparents.Between 2000 and 2014 an estimated 17 million deaths were prevented by the vaccine. Now tell me again vaccines are not benefiting humanity.

      Source: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs286/en/

    3. Oh, and I forgot to add the deaths due to terror attacks. 13’000 in 2010.
      Even if you were to count all deaths due to “interpersonal violence”, 535’000, you’d still not even come close to the deathcount of measles, if not for vaccinations.

      And that’s just measles. Let’s not ignore polio (35’000 cases, not deaths but nevertheless, per year just in the US pre vaccination, 10 years after introduction of the vaccine 61 cases), pertussis (8000 deaths per year, mostly infants, pre vaccince in the US. Now ca. 20) and diptheria (206’000 cases with ca. 15’000 deaths in the US in 1921, 2 cases between 2004 and 2015).

    4. I bet you talk to a lot of managers. My name, read it.

  19. How about instead of everyone getting upset about a parent’s/family’s personal choice made in forethought for what they believe is best for their individual child’s health, we all just do our own research on what is best for us and mind our own business? We need to stop spreading intolerance and attitudes about what someone else chooses to do with THEIR children, even if you think it may affect yours. Focus on your own family and all else will be fine.

    1. Well I think the problem is that it categorically does affect other peoples children and people who can’t be vaccinated for various reasons.

      Making sure healthy children are immunised helps contain infections through something called herd immunity ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity ).

      Essentially, when one kid who hasn’t been infected gets sick, if everyone around them is immunised it’s not a big deal. If there’s someone who hasn’t been immunised, then the virus keeps spreading and it’s now everyone who has been in contact with the first person OR the second person who is at risk.

    2. I agree, my kids are grown46 y3ars old and 43 years old, me…69 years old. My generation usually got only got the smallpox vaccination and sometimes the polio vaccination. We were/are not as sickly as following generations. My kids were/are not as sickly as the present generation. Autism was unheard of in my generation and my kids generation where as prevalent as the present generation! Some may argue that is because it was not diagnosed in those generations. Okay, then show me all the autistic middle agers and autistic senior citizens. Please, before you vaccinate yourself or your children DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Get a list of the vaccinations you are going to get and look up the ingredients they are comprised of. Learn what the ingredient is if you don’t already know! For example Thimererasol is comprised of mercury which is one of the most toxic elements on the planet, do you really want to have this injected into your child or yourself? Please research before you vaccinate, don’t just get your research from one source, check multiple sources. you owe it to your children and yourself.

      1. Except, I presume you mean Thimerosal, not Thimererasol, guessing just a typo, is no longer used in the manufacturing of vaccines in the US since 2001, except for some multi-dose flu vaccines. Also there is no reputable study linking Autism and Thimerosal in vaccines.

        Autism as a condition has used for around 100 years, and has changed from being one group of symptoms of schizophrenia by Eugen Bleuler around 1911, to being used to describe children with emotional or social problems in the 1940’s by researchers in the US. I could think of a number of reasons why autism may have appeared to have been unheard of in your generation, one being simply that it was not that well known, so not many doctors would have been able to diagnose it. It would have been common to have been misdiagnosed with some sort of mental retardation. Maybe they are all just in Scotland where the National Austistic Society believe that there are more than 11,600 people over 60 suffering from Austism.

        Considering how many times in our daily lives we are exposed to toxins and impurities in far greater amounts, by many orders of magnitude, than is in the vaccines produced I’m surprised that people seem to target vaccines since they do a lot of good. Sure there are a small percentage that have adverse reactions and in some case die. But like anything with medicine it comes with an element of risk. I’ve known many cases were people have gone in for a “normal” procedure to end up worse off or have died on the table.

        One thing I do agree with you is to do your homework.

      2. Hi! I work in the field of developmental disabilities. Up until the 1970s all individuals with developmental disabilities were referred to as “retarded.” Now we have been able to identify different types of developmental disabilities and by doing so provide appropriate assistance. Here is a cool analogy for you: Back when we were cave men a bird was a bird, now we have all these different types of birds….it’s insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read my name please

  20. I was not vaccinated as a child. I did not grow up taking Tylenol, Advil, or any other non-prescription, or prescription drugs. I got chicken pox like a normal child.

    As a 32 year old adult, I can honestly tell you that I never get sick, never get headaches or migraines, never have a need for prescription or non prescription drugs, coffee to wake me up in the mornings, or anything else to keep my body running normally.

    I am no scientist, but the fact that I have 3 siblings that have all experienced a similar situation to myself makes it hard to deny physical proof that you can live a normal, happy life without a vaccination.

    Nothing against anyone who gets their kids vaccinated, my wife and I get our kids vaccinated, but have a little understanding for those who have lived a life without them and are doing great without them.

    1. To Matt, you will never experience what us women will go through. Us women, not men, will periods and do you know what we grab to help with the cramps? Tylenol, Aleve, Ibuprofen and etc.

      What this article is talking about is when diseases from the 70s comes back because of this trend of not getting shots. Those don’t get vaccinated will be exposed and get it compared to people who are already vaccinated. Would you rather not vaccinate your kids or dealing with a sick child with some kind of sickness. Do the math!

      1. A helpful tip…Clary sage essential oil works better against menstrual cramps than any OTC medicine I have ever tried. (applied topically)

      2. You do the math! Me and my kids never get sick and we all went through the 70’s! I do not get colds, rarely get the Flu…about 3 times in my lifetime, and in each of these times it lasted less than 12 hours, yes, LESS than 12 hours. As for menstrual cramps, I got them but 30 or so sit ups took care of that problem.
        A former neighbor of mine was a 6’4″ active duty Navy pilot, he got flu and colds at age 44 far more times than I did. Funny, but actually scary when you think about it.

    2. That is the definition of anectodal evidence, and is exactly why scientific studies include a large data population. I could know threee people who fell out of a plane at 15,000 ft and survived, doesn’t mean that it’s the most likely outcome.

    3. I stubbed my toe while cooking pasta once. I DON’T COOK PASTA ANYMORE. Read my name please.

  21. I get that your purpose in life is to make people laugh. I understand your sarcasm is what makes you funny. But tell a mom whose child died after getting an HPV vaccine that they didn’t like their kid anyway???… You are rude, out of line and completely inappropriate.

    1. You hit the nail right on the head. She is utterly insensitive, especially given the number of mothers who have recently murdered their children. This woman is sick.

    2. Okay, I have been trolling these comments, but that is legit. Please don’t read my name. You are not an idiot.

  22. Thanks for this! My son is immunocompromised and I rage inside when I read about anti-vacs. Sure, let your kid get chicken pox like you did and then give it to my kid and potentially kill him. I live in constant fear of the disease he can’t fight.

    1. Usually getting chicken pox later in life is what is dangerous. Getting chicken pox as a child and letting it pass is safer.

    2. Why is your child immunocompromised? You did not say. Your child risks so much more than getting chicken pox. The risk is higher from the foods we eat and the water we drink and the common cold. Do you take your child to a room full of children at the pediatrician’s office and wait in the sick area where children with a common cold or flu have been waiting? An immunocompromised child has a lot more expose to the common problems than the uncommon ones. I too have an immunocompromised child. I know what it is like, and we know that vaccines caused it.
