If you're not vaccinating, what do you tell people?

Glad to be of assistance!

Another great article to print off for people that challenge you; 10 Reasons Why Parents Choose Not To Vaccinate

It's brief, but gets to the point.

I have attached this to my kids school enrolment forms so the relevant staff are well informed before they have the chance to judge our family.

I just tell people the truth, we don't vaccinate. If people ask why or want to know more I tell them but leave it at that. There have been a few negative reactions but I don't worry about it. We believe that vaccines are unsafe not worth the risk based on research and family loss due to vaccines.

Don't worry about others and don't feel you have to convert others around. Most vaccinate simply because its done or the CHN tells them its time.

The previous comment about turning back around to a 'Why do you vaccinate?' is a good one.

As a pretty staunch pro-vaxer who's kids play with non-vaxed kids I think that it's enough to tell people that you've done a lot of research and you feel that your kids are safer without them, and that your careful not to socialise your kids when they are sick! (that's important)

Your choices about how to keep your kids safe are your responsibility and the opinion of no-one else as long as you assure them your careful with the health of others too.


The AVN website or the 10 reasons above are both dangerously innaccurate and sensationalist, Try this website for a start (no, its not propaganda but it does show both sides of an argument):
