AIBU to worry about our increasing reliance on vaccines?

The number of viruses seem to be increasing - ebola, zika, covid-19 etc - and I'm becoming increasingly concerned that we 're becoming ever more reliant on vaccines's. I'm not a scientist, so not really sure what a vaccine is or what it is made of, but I like to keep my body is as natural a state as possible, so don't like putting ever more stuff into it.

I think we need to be reflecting on human behaviour that encroaches more and more on the animal environment, and what we can do to reduce it. Population growth, Insecticides, deforestation, meat eating should all be reduced.

Hello everyone.

We're just dropping in as we're getting a number of reports about anti-vax sentiment and misinformation. Mumsnet, being an open site, does mean that this kind of thing tends to be robustly challenged on the boards, and many users are here looking for reassurance after all.

We're always on alert to anyone here with a specific agenda to share a particular (often extreme) point of view. We'll usually ban such posters as their contributions to threads are rarely helpful. We also delete links to sites that are clearly peddling bad science/fake news.

We think, especially with the emergence of new vaccines, it’s understandable people will want to discuss what’s involved - but we’d always urge anyone with questions to speak to a medical professional too. You can also find further information about vaccines on the NHS website. www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/why-vaccination-is-safe-and-important/
