An anti-vaxxer schoolteacher and the mother of three young children has changed her tune on vaccines. The schoolteacher, living in a suburb outside of Chicago, had decided against vaccinating her children because she had “scoured everything” and decided that vaccines were harmful. It turns out, after her three children (and her husband) were all walloped with the rotavirus this past year, she’s decided that it’s the rotavirus that is harmful and not the vaccines.
"I put my kids at risk," she said. "I wish that I had taken more time to research from both sides before my children were born."
Her three children — all under the age of 7 — are now fully vaccinated, after an aggressive regimen to bring them up to date on recommended shots.
You also put other kids at risk, kids who aren’t lucky enough to be healthy enough to receive vaccinations for the various illnesses we can defend ourselves against.
