My mother was very anti vac. As a child I had measles, german measles, chicken pox and mumps.
I have no issues after, luckily, but I lost 8 weeks of school when I was 6 having all those diseases in a short period of time.
It was even more strange because she herself had diphtheria as a teenager and was lucky to survive!
When I had my first child, she was trying to tell me he didn't need vaccinations, needless to say I ignored her.
I can't understand why anyone is hesitant to vaccinate their child.

It just seems so arrogant to think you know better than trained doctors / scientists as an unqualified layman. I am a trained professional in one area and clients who have “done research” so often get totally the wrong end of the stick as they just don’t have the depth of knowledge I have. That’s how I see anti vaxxers. It makes me cringe for them to be honest.

@TheaBrandt I agree.

But they've done the own research watch youtube didn't you know?
That's clearly much better information, than the scientist have access to. I mean they've only studied it for years of their life. It's such a waste of time when Tom from Wantage can discover the Truth so easily.
