Why I Vaccinate

This has two versions:
Mommy fear



Unfounded fear or conspiracy theories


Text, Mommy fear
Why I vaccinate

Because I know that there are thousands of safety studies looking at vaccines from all angles, including vaccines given in combination.  I know that good science must be replicated, so I choose to accept the consensus of science, not focus disproportionately on one discredited study in isolation.

I know the risks of vaccinating and that they're well and truly outweighed by the benefits.  I value evidence, not anecdote. I know the risks of vaccine preventable diseases are still a threat to my child today.  I make my choice from clear rational thinking, not mommy fear.  I cannot justify exposing my child to potentially deadly diseases which are so easily prevented.
