RE: My experience with not vaccinating my child

in #parenting7 years ago

May I ask - are you concerned with the effects this decision - especially if others were to stop being vaccinated as well - would have on herd immunity. It sounds like for much of your life you were surrounded by people who have been vaccinated - which would help to explain why you have not contracted any of the diseases vaccination prevents. However, the herd immunity which has protected you also relies on most everyone being vaccinated in the first place. Without hostility, have you considered the effect anti-vaxing would have if it went mainstream? We can already see some examples of herd immunity failing in discrete locations.
