Guys, I’m getting a little scared from all the fear mongering regarding measles. I am really wondering if I am doing wrong by by not getting children vaccinations. Part of me is scared to death and wants to go get the vaccines done to be safe. Part of me is scared to death of getting a rare bad reaction from the vaccine. I’m talking mmr.
I’m really split here and freaking out. And before you call me shitbrained pussy, try to put yourself in a parent’s shoes. You will do anything to keep your kids safe. And you definitely don’t want to inadvertently put them at risk of such a horrible disease. The other day you guys posted about a child dying of measles and it’s really plaguing me. I can’t ever imagine being in a position that harms your child especially if it was preventable.
So guys, instead of judging, please help me out and give me the most scientific reasons to help me make my decision.
How old are your children? That will be the most important factor in your decision. If they are infants, I would probably pass on the vaccinations. If they are maybe 3+, I'd seriously consider getting them. I've never heard of many MMR adverse reactions in young children or adults, in fact I had a booster when there was a local outbreak about five years ago and had absolutely no issues. One other thing, only the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 shots are mRNA vaccines that are currently available to the public, so you don't have to worry about that. And lastly, my advice is only what "I" would do if I were in your shoes. It's up to you to decide what's the right course for your family.
