I am glad to see that she doesn't (seem to) support anti-vaccination in general and has a good reason for not vaccinating in her own family.

I'll be the first to admit right that I basically just became a hypocrite right now, talking without doing all my research about what she actually said. Thanks for correcting me.

That said, I was using the comparison of the doctors just to explain the perceptions, not trying to state they were necessarily alike. And I still stand by the fact if she did support the anti-vax movement in general, then I would still doubt her scientific credibility.

hmm, you raise a point here (i admit that i didn't actually look into her public statements; for shame). i can see where that personal experience would lead her to choose not to vaccinate, though it opens an interesting debate.

by avoiding vaccinations, she avoids the chance of an adverse reaction, but it's not as much of a risk as if she lived in a society where the chance of catching one of these diseases were super high; it's very likely that herd immunity would successfully protect her kids here - the best of both worlds.

it seems a bit unfair to take advantage of those who actually vaccinate (and therefore open their children to the possibility, no matter how slim, of detrimental effects)...but then, life isn't fair etc etc.
