I am going to be a grandma in less than seven weeks and I honestly don't know what to tell them. I know what I want to tell them. I want to tell them run, run fast and don't vaccinate. But the problem is they are new parents and if they don't vaccinate it will set bells off in the medical field that is around them and it may make social services watch them even more than they might already.
My daughter in law is native and she grew up in and out of foster homes. She has two sisters who also grew up in foster homes. So social services have always been in her life and I know for a fact is watching her now. She is is quite young only 21 and she is very worried that if she doesn't do everything right social services will be on her back. We had a very good talk about vaccinations and she honestly does not want to do them. But she is so afraid that if she doesn't she will look like a bad mom.
In Canada it says we have free will to choose what kind of health care we want but do we really? Why is it that a young mom to be is so afraid of bringing attention to herself when the answer should be free choice. If she goes along with the mainstream and vaccinate her kids she will be looked upon as a caring loving mom who is doing the best for her child. If she does not vaccinate she will look like a young foolish uncaring mom who is harming her child.
With the evidence out their about how vaccinations can and already have harmed innocent children what should I tell her? Should I tell her just do it so the authorities shut up or do I tell her to stand her ground and take the chance that she will be frowned upon? I wish it was really free choice but it's not.
All we can do is wait and see what my son and daughter decide to do. If they have the guts to go against the mainstream them I tip my hat to them and if they don't then shame on the authorities who took their freedom of choice away. Whatever they choose I will be there with them supporting them every step of the way. But I will dream of the day if that ever comes that we will really be free to choose what we want and not be forced into the easy way.
