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.
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? And 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!

DEAR MOM OF THE CHILD WHO JUST CUT HER OWN HAIR…
DEAR FAT CHICKS: YOU NEED TO STOP
I JUST WATCHED A WOMAN GIVE BIRTH…TO A DOLL…
I have an immunocompromised kid and it’s none of my business what others choose for their kids.
All I need to know is an infant does not need a toxic mix of all these elements shot into his/her arm. Doesn’t sound like a good idea.
The fact that they put aluminium in there is another main deterrent.
If you believe anything & everything the Government tells you… Well I pity you.
Keep strong with vitamins and probiotics. Also a healthy diet and some regular exercise…
Your article is poorly written. It is always assumed the fear is autism, it’s not. It’s autoimmune diseases. It is always assumed antivaxers weren’t once provaxers, not true. It’s also assumed we get our information online instead of from our very own pediatricians, not true. After three different pediatricians, not on of them recommended the CDC schedule. Not one doctor could tell me why the dose for a 150lb man is the same for a 6 lb baby, or why they think combo vaccines are safe when there has not been a single study on the affects of combined immunizations, nor would that naturally occur in nature. Not one doctor has been able to tell me why it’s not ok to take antibiotics unnecessarily but it’s ok to inject 69 vaccines by age 5. My grandmother was fully vaccinated with two shots, my mother with 5 and myself with 7, but my child has to have 69? No doctor has been able to explain why there was already a decline in polio and measles before vaccines – could it be variables such as better nutrition, sanitation and disposable medical equipment? They will tell you it’s natural to have aluminum in your blood, maybe, but the argument is like saying, “you drink milk, so it’s safe to inject into your blood stream.” When you have two opposing sides, like the antivaxers vs the probaxers, neither party gets their needs met because I believe what everyone can agree on is more research is needed. The CDC should not have vaccine patents or private interests in pharmaceutical companies and doctors should be held to their oath, not held to the fear of the CDC. I am not comfortable vaccinating and I’m not comfortable not vaccinating, lets stop these polarizing arguments and ask for what is needed, unbiased research.
So much love for this! Came here from pinterest ready for my blood to boil (WHY DO I DO THAT) and instead I’m laughing and nodding my head. A+ would read again.
You have a smug sense of humor then. Keep laughing and vaccinating your kids—the jokes on you.
Vaccines cause injury and death. There is inadequate evaluation by pathologists to perform the most basic tests for vaccine induced death covered up as sids. Vaccines are responsible for development of new virus strains and are a public health crisis. Vaccine manufacturers have no liability and therefore no incentive to make a safe effective or uncontaminated vaccine. There is zero proof that any vaccine has prevented any disease, ever. Vaccines cause autoimmune disease, seizures, allergies, autism, death and more. It is never acceptable to sacrifice a healthy neurological system for temporary, if any, immunity against a germ that one may never encounter. Vaccines spread disease directly and indirectly. Vaccines are a public health crisis.
So this comment sounds like satire but I’m not entirely sure…
If that’s true, why do thousands of people NOT DIE from smallpox?
This article is propaganda. There’s no scientific data produced here and it’s full of inflammatory words. I love seeing both sides of an issue but articles like this are very disappointing. They just serve to get those who have their minds made up and arc really examining all the evidence all riled up. It also turns moms against each other instead of promoting intellectual discussion. Disappointing.
Amen. What a ridiculous, disrespectful article.
“Turning moms against each-other.”
That’s all this country’s about, not just moms but all people. The Dichotomy of Division is what Vince calls it in his show “The Plutocracy Report.” Nothing changes when the populous can’t come to agreement and stand up for something. Even when ‘what’s right’ is so blatant…
Keep researching and looking between the lines.
Are you THAT stupid? *Sigh* this is why America is becoming more and more problematic
I am in shock. I am disgusted. I am angry.
How dare you?
Let me start by saying that you should probably educate yourself before you degrade other people for their “uneducated” decisions, and it would probably go a long way in not only your life, but your child (ren?)’s life to show respect to others.
Being a parent is hard, we all want to make the best decision’s for our children. I can almost guarantee that the parent that chooses not to vaccinate, has done significantly more research than the parent that chooses to vaccinate more often than not.
We are all trying to do what is best, but there just isn’t a clear cut answer for so many things when it comes to our kids.
What happens when the vaccine didn’t give your child immunity to a disease? Because as I’m sure you already know, there isn’t a guarantee it will. But hey, at least yout tried? What happens when a perfectly healthy child dies 2 days after getting their vaccines? Because, well, there isn’t a guarantee they won’t. But…at least you tried, right? These are not decisions that come lightly, and it doesn’t matter which side of the fence you are on. Respect that we are all just trying our best, it isn’t a battle of better parenting.
Exactly!
How many years do you have of Medical Experience? You sure as hell don’t have a PhD in Epidemiology, Infectious Disease Study, Pathology, Microbiology, or Pediatriatrics. People go to school for YEARS to learn about this to become doctors. My mother has a PhD in neurosurgery and epidemiology, she had me vaccinated as soon as possible, she went to med school for 12 years. When’s the last time you died from tetanus? Wanna see how vaccines save lives? Take your child, I’m guessing they’re not vaccinated, and poke them with a rusty nail. Now poke a vaccinated kid with a rusty nail, wait a week and see which one is hospitalised and which one takes off a band-aid.
Hi, it’s me again!
Boy, you really are the queen of bad advice aren’t you? Again, I’ll say this to you. Do. Some. Research. Actual research. Here, I’ll get you started with some questions that you can ask google. I may even offer an answer on par with the manner in which you articles are written.
1) What is in the vaccine?
A)Stuff. Stuff the doctor said is good.
2)where is the vaccine made?
A)Probably ‘Murica, where all good stuff is made!
and now it gets a little technical….(these are flu specific questions)
3)How is a virus mutation predicted 2 years in advance to offer a viable vaccine?
A)Wut? Doctor says good.
4)Are there clinical, third party test findings that indicate that vaccines are effective?
A) Smith and Kline said it works, that’s good enough for me!
There’s just 4 for you. I’m awfully tired now and haven’t eaten all day. All you gotta do is research, my dear.
Really, making a mockery of such a serious issue is unbecoming of any human. This, again,like your dinosaur article, comes down to simply believing whatever you’re told without questioning. I applaud the mothers that, in the best interest of their children, do not allow the doctor to dictate what is best simply because he/she’s a doctor. I’d also like to point out that doctors, generally speaking, don’t become doctors to help people. I’m sure there’s some great doctors out there, with the absolute best of intentions. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Doctors are in the business, generally speaking. It wouldn’t be good business practice to kiss all their customers goodbye, now would it be?
Besides, what’s so bad about getting the flu every one in a while anyway? Why is everyone sooo terrified of this flu all of a sudden? You know what I do during flu season? I get the flu. And if it’s bad enough, I get a couple days off to rest and read. Boo hoo.
….or perhaps I’m just an uneducated twit.
oh I just watched that Jimmy Kimmel video. Haha they said they’re doctors and told jokes. I changed my mind. Vaccines are good!
“there’s no reason NOT to get vaccinated….”
Fucking ridiculous. Those weren’t real doctors btw. Just thought I’d point that out in case you didn’t notice how naturally they appeared in front of the camera and delivered punchlines.
You have to be kidding me. You honestly believe doctors and healthcare providers are “in the business” and getting something in return for advocating for vaccination? Wow.
I can tell you as a nurse practitioner with over 10 years experience in healthcare, there is no reward for us to recommend vaccination other than seeing kids and adults stay healthy. We don’t get some kind of financial kickback like you are suggesting. And the VAST majority of us DID get into healthcare to help people!! The average doctor, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant has nothing to do with the creation of vaccines or sales. We recommend them based on a minimum of 8 years of higher education, rigorous study, and experience. Not just on a whim, and not because any of us are being paid to do so. My paycheck does not come from a pharmaceutical company. And no amount of money would ever convince me to recommend something unsafe that I wouldn’t want for my own children. The vast majority of us have a conscience and a good heart. I don’t know where you are getting your information but you are one step away from moving underground and wearing a tin foil hat with your theories.
Yes, but many students studying medicine are being taught the vaccines are safe by pharmaceutical representatives visiting their classes, it’s not an unbiased education. Just look up Harvard and Lipitor. Come to find out, the professor had lots of $$$$$ invested and unfortunately this is not uncommon. Tobacco, NRA, Army, Alcohol and pharmaceutical companies rule the politics and policies in the United States, don’t be fooled.
1. Nurse practicioners hold a position as one of the most unhealthy occupations. They also typically know very little outside of specific procedural training.
2. 8 years of higher education means very little in this case. You could teach someone how to make weapons for 8 years, it doesnt make it ok to use them nor does it mean they have a higher understanding of the components within. Did you know we just discovered a new major organ that has been staring us in the face? And once again we admit how little we really know about the human body. Its ok come up with quick solutions to problems (i.e. gas cars, water toilets, chemical vaccines), but it doesn’t mean they are the best solutions.
3. I work with dozens of doctors per year and the vast majority of them do not continue their studies beyond their medical degree which most of them obtained over a decade ago. You will not find cutting edge information with the average doctors and nurses. That is saved for the biologists and medical scientists in the lab publishing white papers that most doctors dont have the time nor concern to read. Doctors and nurses are there to help with an acute immediate injuries that require medecine, patchwork, or surgery. You should not rely on them for health. One look at most doctors or nurses will tell you this without needed further scientific inquiry. Why so many people put such blind faith in doctors and make vaccines their holy grail is beyond me. Vaccines have their place but most people talk about them as if there is no potential risks and they are 100% effective which just isn’t true. Pschologically it makes sense that a parent would become so fanatical about the subject because they don’t ever esnt to think they did sonething horrible to their own children. And their are good parents on both sides of the debate. That is why there is a debate – everyone wants to do best for their children.
4. I never understood why people would say that parents who don’t vaccinate are lazy, neglectful, or incarinf. This doesnt make sense. It is much more difficult to not vaccinate in this society than to just do it. There is overwhelming pressure from friends, family, coworkers, and blogs like this one to get vaccinated. It is much more difficult to work with schools, doctors, traveling, clubs, activities, neighbors, etc. It is far easy just to follow the herd, do what everyone else does, and not think for yourself. It is much easier and much less effort to be a parent that vaccinates. So regardless of whether its right or wrong, it is obvious that parents that dont vaccinate care deeply about their children – enough to take the harder path of not vaccinating.
I don’t think you’re an uneducated twit but you do sound drunk. Evidence they work? While there probably are those studies I’m feeling lazy. Let’s instead lol at the fact that diseases like polio and small pox are unknown in this country and small pox is extinct in the world. And even when vaccines don’t give full immunity they cause the illness to be much less severe.
Why worry about flu? Look up the Spanish Influenza. What’s in them? Pieces of actual virus or in some cases virus toxin which are dead so that your immune system knows what to look for. That’s so basic I learned it in elementary school. Where are they made? I’m not really sure that’s germaine to the discussion. And please stop drinking. It kills your liver and Intellect.
You know why polio is mostly gone and smallpox is gone? VACCINES YOU SODDING TWAT
I honestly cant tell if this was a joke post or a serious one. If these are truly the reason why you would refuse to get your child vaccinated, you should really get your brain checked.
Definitely a joke post made to look non-vaccinators look bad. Or as pathetic as it sounds, try to deter parents from not vaccinating their small children.
Think about it… Small children getting loaded up with all that shit in there.
