VAXXED II: The People's Truth

• https://www.ageofautism.com, By Cathy Jameson

I thought that one post, which was about vaccine choice and why it's important, would surely spark a conversation.  The person who'd shared the post offered some personal information with the photo and why they advocate for it now—years ago, their child was negatively affected by a liability-free vaccine.  Most of the comments that had been left were sympathetic.  Some were in support of vaccine choice, but one person's remarks made me pause:    

"I don't think you really mean that the shot caused your child's problems, do you?  Because that doesn't happen…does it?" 

I believe the commenter was not a troll and was genuinely asking for clarification.  Maybe they had never experienced a reaction post-vaccination before.  Maybe they hadn't taken time to look beyond what many doctors and what our government says about vaccines (that they are "always and only safe and effective").  Maybe they didn't have children yet and didn't know that the US vaccine program recommends more liability-free vaccines now than ever in the history of the vaccine program.  No matter what their vaccine status or stance was, the response they left needed an answer.
