There has not been a huge increase in autism it is just that there is more awareness of the condition (due to social media etc) and also an increase in diagnoses. Once upon a time in Nigeria children who were unfortunate to suffer from autism were just classed as being "slow, strange or even possessed" and were hidden away (or sent for deliverance) instead of being diagnosed. Vaccinations are important and those parents who prevent their children from having them (blaming the fear of autism) are just putting their kids and others at risk, they should not be encouraged. Those parents need to see a child suffering (dying) from measles to realize that "not having a bath for fear of drowning is different from falling in the sea without a life jacket".

She is so precious. It always breaks my hear when babies cry from those injections. At my big age, I still cry when I get them too.

[@Teetomato2012]

Sis Yemmie, vaccinating your child is great 👌 for the child. MMR (measles mumps and rubella) is what anti vaxers claimed causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The claim was that multiple vaccines taken as one injection puts that child at risk which in not true. I work with children with ASD (mainly) and other special needs too. I'm based in Canada. Children not vaccinated are not allowed in school and schools that allow such children make the parent(s) sign a waiver. Vaccinating a child does not cause ASD. A lot of factors are responsible for ASD (genes and the environment) no 2 children have the same needs even twins. I have worked with (currently working in this feild) more than 30 clients (including sets of twins) with ASD and none of them have the same diagnosis. Check out this link www.autismspeaks.ca/about/about-autism/what-causes-autism/ See this link also. It's embedded in the one above and discusses vaccines and Autism. It also includes the summary of a few research that confirm there is no risk of ASD from MMR. www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Vaccine-Studies-Examine-the-Evidence.aspx

[@sope2030]

Totally agree with you. Vaccination is not linked with autism at all. As a matter of fact autism, down's syndrome can be determined whilst the woman is still pregnant. At 12week scan , extra blood samples are taken for screening. Its completely optional and it us up to you to choose if you want the test done or not in the UK.

God bless you

[@RichmondSajini]

Sisi, you did the right thing by vaccinating Tiara. Life is too precious to take that risk on unfounded speculations. You did the right thing mama.

[@SisiYemmieTV]

Thank you so much!

[@sweetlady3651]

Watch vaxxed its a documentary

[@saraha9972]

Wow! Unfounded speculation?

[@moforbelinda6612]

my niece has been ceaselessly coughing with an on and off fever since she was 3years old till now that she's 4, although has not skipped any of her vaccines. people say kids with vaccines are more likely to visit the doctor due to health issues as compared to kids with NO vaccines.

[@askddietitian]

Chevk her for allergies please ... it could be allergic rhinitis or atopic dermatitis ... see an allergist or a grounded pediatrician

[@thewriteandpublishlab]

I am an immunology PhD and a nurse. My son was also diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder 3 years ago. Yes he showed signs of a normal child development right until he was about 2. It was a tough diagnosis to learn but there are interventions to help children on the spectrum. My son is almost 6 now and improving each day. In spite of my own situation, I do think vaccinations are still important. There is too much at risk without them. A lot of reasearchers in immunology have searched for a link between vaccines and autism and we have not found any yet. There are other links that have been made including what type of gut bacteria a child has. But like you rightly stated, there is no cure. I hope one day we find one!

[@omolaraopeyemi2657]

Amen. Thank you!

its ok go for it, it helps your body to fight the virus.

[@hafsatharuna5814]

The studies linking autism to vaccination is done by very unreliable and problematic doctors. I am a med student and have done research on this. The cause of autism is a totally different scenario. Everything just looks so magnified now bc people have access to talk about it and people have started treating mental health more importantly. Autism, dyslexia and every other illness has always been prevalent.

[@uzo435]

She's a beauty. Well done sisi.

[@HearThisDestinyChanger]

I love your vlogs Sisi Yemi

[@Fluuuv]

Glad you vaccinated. There is no link b/w vaccines and autism. Autism hasnt increased. The difference is that drs are now more informed and autism is now in the public consciousness, so drs can now diagnose autistic children more quickly and treat them. Besides autism isn't a bad thing, it's on a spectrum. Many healthy intelligent kids are on the autism spectrum.

[@sandraucheoma8650]

Sisi, I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. It shows so many good things we have in our country irrespective of bad leadership in Nigeria. Thank you for showing us this side( the diff types of homemades organic foods and the fun) in Nigeria we dont see often.

Hi Sisi, I am happy Tiara got vaccinated - is good for her. Don't listen to people with no proof or evidence.

[@dorcasajose2687]

Sisi. You did well vaccinating your baby. As a Med Dr who has practiced in Nigeria and now overseas-my 2 cents is it's far safer for a child to be vaccinated living in Africa especially. Remember that most of the people you watch online who do not vaccinate their children live in western countries and have healthcare readily accessible. Where I reside at present, a child with Meningococcal disease would easily get that first dose of antibiotic IV within 30minutes of initial presentation to me in my GP clinic without paying a cent. So it makes it easier to decline vaccination as good healthcare is somewhat readily available. That's not the case in Naija. In the western world we worry more about herd immunity because as immunisation rates drop we typically get more outbreaks of these vaccine preventable diseases. Herd immunity also protects those children who cannot be immunised due to active cancer or other illnesses causing immune suppression. The link to autism is false but as we know the disproving of the supposed link doesn't get as much media coverage as the initial false claim. If you need more answers to your queries I'm happy to email you some articles that might help.

Sorry my little angel, it's so painful, I feel the pain here too, ndo nwam.

[@omogenaija1]

If you have not walked in the shoes of a parent whose children were developing neurotypically before vaccinations; then you have no basis to judge their perspective. Nevertheless, just make sure your children get ample omega 3 to support brain function and development. Early intervention is also key. It's tough but miracles are happening daily.

[@oluwafikewatoyin-elebute4926]

Yes Sisi, it’s called herd immunity. When you vaccinate your child, you’re protecting the community from spread of disease. I think that’s the most important thing. There’s no direct correlation between vaccination and autism.

I believe in vaccination but not so many in 1 day. I don't think it's good to get 5 or 6 in 1 day but space it out.

YOUr family is soo blessed and Tiara is so cute 💖💖well this topic to vaccinate or not to vaccinate is very complicated to discuss... my baby boy is two and half and i remember some people were so mad with me for i vaccinated him. My take is everyone should do what is right for their child.. Especially here in austria where i live, many people are not vaccinating, but at the end of the day better to vaccinate than to be constantly in worry.. you did the right thing Sisi 😘💖😘💖👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Too much information and research is reason why am waiting to circumcise my 3weeks son.. wanted to do it at birth but my friend from rwanda told me otherwise.. So I will endure to see him in pain and do it at one month

[@delindawilliams3935]

Beautiful Sisi Yemmie! I so look forward to these weekly vlogs. *Vaccinations: When it comes to vaccines,I can't afford to get confused. I just pray before going with my babies,and I cry with them. I know some people,especially one who refuse to get their children vaccinated,one of the children is now an adult. There are so many not vaccinating,and other choose not to with different results. You just have to pray and trust your motherly instinct. *You have such a beautiful family. Tiara is so cute. My Titoby is so handsome. Hi Mr.Bobo🙋 I miss your car conversations.

[@AdaezesSpace]

Awww...Tiara is sooo cute 😊. I always feel like crying when they inject a child. 😅 About vaccination, I talked about it in one of my previous videos. There is no proof and even if there is something remotely regarded as proof, it only showed that the child already had autism but it was triggered earlier by vaccination. But that's not even confirmed. On the other hand, there are lots of data and research that shows that not vaccinating your child puts the child at risk of plenty dangerous illnesses. So it is better to vaccinate and pray for your child while at it. 😊
