Re: Because Every Mayim Bialik Secret Has To Have This

[(Anonymous)]

She clearly wants to avoid the negative publicity of being anti-vaxx, and who can blame her? Those people are nutjobs. But saying she's not anti-vaxx ignores how complicated the issue is for her. She's affiliated with the Holistic Moms Network, who has prominent anti-vaxx advocates on their advisory board:

Initially she said they were a non-vaccinating family:

But now she claims her kids ARE vaccinated, but didn't say which ones:

What she says about how children get sooooo many vaccinations and we should just be real careful you guys is one of the key talking points of the anti-vaxx movement. They adopted this approach because it's a lot more media-friendly than ranting about mercury and poison injections. Kids get a lot of vaccines because there are quite a few deadly diseases to guard against, it's not some silly conspiracy. There is no medical reason to be "cautious" about the sheer number or to use a delayed vaccination schedule.

hm. I don't consider myself an anti-vaxer, and my kid is vaxed against stuff like Polio and measles, but there are vaccines I don't think are necessary, at least not depending on the situation. Like, I didn't have my daughter vaxed with the meningitis vaccine they are giving here. wanna know why? because I got a little pamphlet from the manufacturer that went MENINGITIS KILLS Type A is totally common in your country, 90% of children who get it are below 1/2 year, and they can TOTALLY DIE, so you need to vaccinate your 2 year old with a vaccine for type B now! CHILDREN DIE!!
Sorry, no. If you try to make me scared of car crashes to sell me bycicle helmets I'm not buying. If there ever is a case of more than one child with meningitis (of that type)in the region where I live I'l totally reconsider and probably get her vaxed (or, who knows, maybe a kid with a compromised immune system joins her daycare or something) but I don't see the need right now. Likewise with hepB. When she's around 14, sure, it's an STD. If I ever go to a counry with poor hygiene? sure. Right now, just because that's how "it's done" according to plan? nope. I don't have to buy everything people try to sell me by playing the scarycard or OMG you're so irresponsible if plain common sense tells me that it's not necessary, and I'm generally more hands off when it comes to medicinal interventions.

SA and I don't believe in vaccines causing aspergers or allergies or subscibe to mercury-paranoia. (Actually, I know someone who got mild anxiety (probably) from ingesting mercury. But they bit a thermometer in half. that's another level (not to mention a different substance) and just a fun fact if you're talking to people who are anti-vax because omgpoison!!)

why did I write all this? maybe to illustrate that you can be sceptical without being camp anti-vax. I find that generally being sceptical in all directions is a pretty good and safe, and stress-free way to live. 'specially as a mom.
