Reasons I decided to vaccinate my son!
This is my personal preference and what I feel is right for my family! No hate to those who choose not to vaccinate! Feel free to comment your viewpoint but please know this isn’t a post for politics or shaming others!
1. As a nursing student I’ve seen so many kids already in the hospital fighting a disease/ illness that could have been prevented. Of course vaccines aren’t 100% effective but in most cases these children are unvaccinated or haven’t finished their full course of the vaccine.
2.some children like those with certain allergies, cancer or are immunocompromised are unable to get certain vaccines. Vaccinating my child can help protect others.
3. In 1998, Andrew Wakefield falsified his study that claimed that Vaccines such as the MMR causes autism. This study was later proved to be flawed.
4. The food we eat and the chemicals in products we use every day are far more harmful than a vaccine sin my opinion. A vaccine protects you for life or a long term. The ingredients in our food, shampoo, sunscreen, bug spray, laundry detergent etc, aren’t protecting us from anything and are doing more harm than good!
If you’re deciding whether or not to vaccinate, I highly recommend doing actual scientific based research. Talk to the pediatrician. Don’t believe everything you see online.
Vaccination is a crucial topic for parents today, with many advocating for its benefits while others express skepticism. Understanding the science behind vaccines can empower parents to make informed decisions. Vaccines protect not only the individual but also those who cannot be vaccinated due to health concerns, such as allergies or compromised immune systems. It's critical to note that protective community immunity is achieved when a significant percentage of the population is vaccinated, thus mitigating the spread of contagious diseases. Additionally, the narrative surrounding vaccines and autism has been thoroughly debunked by numerous studies, emphasizing that there is no causal relationship. Many parents express greater concern regarding everyday chemicals found in household products and food, which may pose significant health risks. Vaccines, in contrast, undergo rigorous testing and monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy. For anyone in doubt about vaccination, consulting a healthcare professional and reviewing credible scientific research is essential. Engaging with various viewpoints can lead to a more nuanced understanding, so it's essential to focus on evidence-based information rather than misinformation that often circulates online.
