Seems sensibility and common sense is actually out there as teenagers fight against their anti-vaxxer parents(most of whom are probably vaccinated by the way.) They are taking to Reddit and other social media to ask others for help on how to get proper vaccinations.
It's sad that a young man can figure out that it's the right thing to do. How many needless cases of measles are needed to open the eyes of others.
'I was doing it for my safety and the safety of others'
Ethan Lindenberger grew up in a home where his mother was very open about her opposition to vaccines.
"As I became a teenager and looked into it and decided that the evidence supported vaccines by and large, and that the evidence that they cause autism and brain damage and other misinformed statements weren't true,"
He's very well spoken and presents his arguments well. Watch his interview.
Advice to other teenagers, unfortunately, wait until you are 18? Hopefully none of the kids that have to wait will contract a preventable disease or infect someone who happens to be immunodeficient.
Key Points:
- The science is there in support of vaccination. It's readily available - Healthy Children.org.
- Vaccines do not cause Autism - https://www.autismspeaks.org/what-causes-autism
- Question your sources of information
- Get vaccinated and vaccinate your children.
