To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?!

Question

Genuinely curious & would like opinions. Do you vaccinate? Why or why not? PLEASE be nice in your responses! 
I have 3 kids who are vaccinated & I have a 1 month old who I’m not sure we want to vaccinate.
I am anxious to vaccinate & anxious to not vaccinate. I’ve done some research & honestly am torn on what to do. I plan to speak more with the pediatrician about it. But also thought I’d ask here.

Answer

I love my kids, and I trust science/logic/reason/medical professionals. So I vaccinate.

Answer

Absolutely vaccinate. I'm all about protecting my children from deadly diseases.

Answer

I vaccinate because I can protect my babies in a lot of ways physically but I cannot myself protect them from measles, whooping cough, hepatitis, etc. I need help with that and thats why I will vaccinate. We have had several measles outbreaks in my area the last 3-5 years. My coworkers 18 month old neice whose parentsrefused any and all vaccines got measles at the airport. Seeing the photos and videos my coworker showed me of that poor girl was enough to know I have made the right choice in vaccinating. My job is protecting my babies and that means getting the tools I need like defense against viruses I cannot fight myself.

Answer

I’ve had multiple people in my immediate family who weren’t privileged enough to grow up with vaccines who suffered or nearly died from things we now vaccinate for. I believe vaccines are a blessing, and I trust our educated medical professionals.

Answer

I personally don’t understand why people wouldn’t vaccinate. You’re literally keeping your kid - and others - safe from a preventable illness

Answer

I vaccinated my child because burying him from preventable deadly diseases is not an option. Do you want to pay for a tiny casket or urn? Why would you want your child to get a deadly disease and die from it because you chose to be stupid and not vaccinate? Vaccinations save lives. Before they existed, MILLIONS died from deadly diseases. And if they didn’t die, they have many complications from the disease. I like my children alive and I trust medicine and science.

Answer

Both of mine are fully vaccinated. They were both premature (35 weeks and 27 weeks) so it was very important. They likely would’ve died if they caught anything more than a cold as a baby. 
I fully believe in science and know these vaccines have been tested for years. I trust my doctors too. 
They are 2 & 3 and there’s 0 regrets. They both also get the flu and Covid shot every year.

Answer

Yep. 1000% will vaccinate. As a scientist I cannot imagine anyone seeing the data on the horrible diseases that vaccines prevent and noping out if them. People who lived before these vaccines prayed and hoped for a shot to prevent their child from polio or measles and now because of false and debunked studies, Starflower from a crunchy mom facebook page, and massive misinformation people are undoing decades of life saving work. Hoping every antivaxxer gets haunted by the ghosts if those who lost their lives or loved ones to now preventable diseases.

Answer

Vaccines save lives. They’ve changed the course of life for humans. I trust the many, many, MANY scientists of the world.

Answer

Yes I will vaccinate any child I have. Me and my husband even spoke with our Iman about it and it supported if we choose in our Mosque. I came from India and seeing the diseases that still run through rural areas and other 3rd world countries makes me very happy that I can protect my kids from some of the things others cannot. I am saddened that so many 1st world and Western counties are going backwards on this. Ive lived in.areas where whooping cough is common and seeing a baby pass due to it and the suffering they experience is enough to pray everyone protects their babies.
