What I learned from parents who don't vaccinate their kids | Jennifer Reich | TEDxMileHigh

Why do some parents reject vaccines, despite evidence that they've helped generations of children stay healthy? When sociologist Jennifer Reich started interviewing parents about this growing trend, she realized it wasn't as simple as being ignorant or anti-science. In this fascinating talk, she explains why this movement is the symptom of a much bigger problem -- our broken beliefs about parenting & health. Jennifer Reich is Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado Denver. Her research examines how individuals and families weigh information and strategize their interactions with the state and service providers, particularly as they relate to healthcare and welfare. Over the last decade, she has examined how parents come to reject vaccines for their children, in dialog with physicians, complementary healthcare providers, activists, and researchers. She wrote Calling the Shots: Why Parents Reject Vaccines. She & her husband have three children. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

She was stunned to hear something nice coming from a stranger which made me kinda sad and angry at the same time but I kept that to myself and just smiled at her.

Honestly I was all for vaccination. My son got his 2 months and his 4 months shots. And what the nurse had told me was since he had no reaction the first time, he should have one this time because they were the “same” vaccines. But he did have a reaction. A terrible one. A very high fever, his legs swelled up to the point of BURNING at injection sight, he would not eat or sleep. I couldn’t even touch his legs without him screaming. Mind you, he had NO reaction the first time. So we made the decision to stop vaccinating him because there is no transparency or guarantee that my son or any child will be safe after vaccines. Walk into any doctors office and tell them to GUARANTEE that your child will be ok, put it in writing. They won’t, because they themselves don’t know what’s inside these vaccines either.

I think the crux of the problem is really pretty straightforward. It's all but impossible these days to trust the government (including the FDA), or the pharmaceutical companies, or the big corporations that have gobbled up everything. My doctor's office used to be open 9-5:30 M-F and 8-12pm Saturdays. I could walk in and get an appointment. My doctor listened to what I said and actually tried to figure out what was wrong. She would even call my insurance if they refused to cover something that she felt I or my children needed. Then they were bought out by Cleveland Clinic( one of the 2 MEGA hospitals here), my doctor was sent across town only to be followed by a revolving door of doctors who didn't know, didn't care, or didn't have the time to actually listen and look into any out of the norm issues. What choice do we have but to try to figure it out on our own, when everything we were supposed to be able to trust has lied to us( whether by omission or otherwise). My mother-in-law still thinks Pop-Tarts are a healthy breakfast because they have "fruit" in them!! If your husband cheated on you over and over again for years and lied about it every time, no one would think you were being ridiculous if you didn't trust him anymore. In fact, they'd probably think you naive for staying with him simply because he said he wouldn't do again. She's making it out to be an issue of the pressures put on Mom's. And while this may be part of the problem, I'll say again that I think what really happened is that we were left to try to figure out on our own, because we can't trust what we're told from those who are supposed to have our best interest in mind.

I'm talking about sources of real information, not rumors or opinions, or 2) Do your own research in factual sources and determine what you can safely believe. It is important to realize that factual sources do exist. They have to exist. Not every organization is biased or lying.

It was alarming to see a healthy middle schooler get the HPV vaccine and immediately start a downward spiral with debilitating gut issues, muscle weakening, and eventually be wheelchair bound. Most kids have no obvious signs of vaccine injury... but when you consider the autism diagnosis sky rocketing, it makes you wonder if they are connected. I have heard people try an explain “we’re more aware now, so more are being diagnosed” but I don’t buy it. I remember the kids I grew up with, schools full of all kinds of different kids. It’s different today. Between the wild amounts of vaccines injected into them from birth, and at wild speeds and clusters, to screen addictions, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, the “social justice” experiments, experimental gene therapy that we’re told is just a “vaccine”, and checked-out parents... these kids are being messed up.

@@AT-hm9fv I was in your position seven years ago, when having my first. And as a nurse, doctors just expect you to fall in line. I recall a decade ago, while I was an OR nurse, a veteran RN (like closing in on retirement) would refuse the annual flu shot. She was a tough old girl, wildly smart and very experienced in the field. I asked her why she refused to get it, but she just squeezed her lips together and shook her head “no”. She knew if she said “why” it would open a can of worms. I still don’t know what her reason was, but I’ve since seen enough, and listened to enough parents, to know things don’t line up. So what I did was buy the book “The Vaccine Friendly Plan” by Paul Thomas, MD. He is a pediatrician (I think in Oregon) who is very balanced and not afraid to look at the actual evidence head on. In fact, a couple of years ago he published the results of over a decade of *evidence* from his own pediatrics practice regarding vaccinations and overall health in his own patients. It was thought-provoking at best, some evidence was damning. Remember, vaccines are a HUGE money-making industry for pharmaceuticals... and if they happen to make people sick, there’s money to be had in that as well. Dr.Paul’s state board of medicine TOOK HIS LICENSE AWAY for publishing his study. A year and a half later, and a lawsuit, he got it back. Buy his book - there is a common sense approach he offers. I do believe that certain vaccines (that have been heavily studied and proven to be effective) are worth getting. But many... especially with this new one, are harmful. Dr. Paul also has a KZbin channel. Do yourself a favor - get that book. Best of luck (and congratulations!).

I can't tell you how I felt going home, every time I had to correct her, I could envision, the fact that I was making her hair fall out. I still blame myself all these years later.

I am 32 and when I was a child we got like 5 vaccines, and it is now what, 30 over the first 3 years? This was also a time when vaccines were rigorously studied (and were proven to actually work), introduced purely in light of historically deadly (talking rampant 50+ million deaths in a season alone) diseases, and were not manufactured by blatant pharmaceutical monopolies... who may or may not take your very rights from you in the case you disagree...Something about that gives a lot more merit to parents that don't feel comfortable doing that now.

It’s so easy to criticize others when you’re not going through it. How can parents accept or trust a doctor recommending vaccines after their child had a reaction? In our society we except that people can have allergic reactions to food and their environment. But when it comes to vaccines we trust the doctors without question! Vaccine reactions are a real possibility and many parents have learned this the hard way because they trust doctors. All parents need to keep educating themselves so they can make the most informed decision.

All true, with vaccines being immune from the liability of their vaccine, and the Doc's able to receive kick back's from pharmaceuticals, Who's best interest do Doc's have in mind, or at least, what conflicts must arise inside of them while being in the middle of the two groups.

Vaccine injury is totally a thing! As a parent with a child that has had two vaccine reactions, this is very much a reality in our household.

When should we schedule the next round?” SMH Why not let us just get the Rubella vaccine? Instead, they had to mix it into a cocktail. Same with Tetanus. If you want one, you have to get them all. I see what you’re doing there, Big Pharma. True Informed Consent is not a reality here either. The underlying issue that I think she should be addressing is why the trust in modern medicine is faltering. I also don’t feel like she gave us much of an answer.

[@kevinbarnard355]

The problem with this stance is how do you know a child had a reaction to a vaccine unless they got the vaccine and VERY shortly after reacted? There are almost always options for those with known allergies, like egg-free Flue vaccines, but reactions are SO rare outside of an allergic response. Unless a child has a known or suspected allergy, or compromised immune system, there's just no good reason to avoid vaccines. It's tantamount to buying a lotto ticket every day where you have an infinitesimally small chance to win the jack pot, a moderate chance to lose all your money, a moderate chance to lose someone else's money without their input, and an infinitesimally small chance to have nothing happen.

None of them got any of the diseases the vaccines are for, except one child got half a mump. No one else got it. I took him to the homeopath and he gave him 50C sulfur. The mump was gone in two days. I breastfed them all on demand when they were young, and gave them mostly vegetarian/vegan diets.

My mother died of colon cancer, and she was perfectly aware that some of her behaviors undoubtedly contributed, and possibly caused it. Not actually relevant, though, because everybody dies of something and nobody lives their lives perfectly. Judgemental assholes don't seem to grasp either of these facts very firmly, however - possibly because that would mean judging themselves instead of others. Also, my mother was 66, not 47, and the behaviors included 20 years of heavy drinking (which she had stopped 20 years previously) and smoking nearly all her life - not merely "overcooked steaks". 47 is /extremely/ young for colon cancer, and I think it /very/ unlikely that anything he did actually caused it.

So you don’t get the vaccine. Now you’re even more infectious and a lot more likely to be hospitalized. So just because you didn’t want the vaccine you’re going to potentially spread the disease to a lot more people then if you had gotten the vaccine. Mandates aren’t about you and your right to choose. It’s to slow the spread of disease. By not getting a vaccine you’re basically choosing that you’d rather potentially infect many more people then if you had been vaccinated.

[@ichabod1370]

Mandating vaccinations is not a "socialist" policy; it's a public health policy, just like tracing a carrier like Typhoid Mary and locking her up (that woman knew she was carrying typhoid and still worked in restaurant kitchens, of all things, spreading disease wherever she went!

[@lancelot1953]

Hi Tom, all vaccines/medications/even food have side-effects which may be disastrous in some cases, given the right circumstances. One has to weight the "cost (side-effects) vs benefits (protecting against a disease). Smallpox had a mortality of ~50% and most of those who survived were left with disfiguring scars. Smallpox was/is very contagious and during an epidemic, most people that did not get cowpox (a disease of animals) were likely to get the disease... until the vaccine came. Smallpox was eventually eradicated - but some people did react to the vaccine, less than 1% as opposed to an infectivity rate of 70~85%. I had no choice (got the vaccine as a child) but given the choice - I would prefer the vaccine over the disease. I remember the polio (infantile paralysis) epidemic of 1959 and all those kid trying to survive in an "iron lung" - most of us got vaccinated when the Salk (the first vaccine against polio came out) - now it has been replaced by better version. We do not hear about polio epidemic anymore but three people from my home town still have partly paralyzed extremities (they contracted the disease before we could vaccinate them). The child that died of tetanus that the speaker is referring to died at our facility - it was a tragedy. Parents were adamant, they lied to us about the vaccination status of their child (they were against vaccines and falsified school shot records to avoid US Public Health intervention). They lost their child to a tonsilar scratch initially caused by a fish bone which got infected, properly treated with antibiotics except that the tetanus bacteria had already released its toxin - which caused the demise of the child. The choice is yours - vaccination is warranted when the disease it is supposed to protect you from is worse than the potential side-effect of the vaccine. I am referring to vaccines that have gone through years of research/data gathering - I am not talking about the political Covid mandate hot potato - this is a completely different story. I worked Public Health for the poor (underdeveloped countries - I can assure you that I have seen many times more preventable dying children than the "too many kids suffering from ill effects of vaccination including your own"... There are indications and contra-indications for each vaccine - a good non-political physician should give you the right advice (or you could look it up yourself). Think about this - not counting children and before use of air bags - wearing shoulder/lap belt would protect people in ~90% of SURVIVABLE accidents - while wearing the same belts would kill people in ~ 5% of similar SURVIVABLE accidents and ~ 5% were saved by not wearing their belts (i.e. by being ejected from their vehicle). My own son got ejected from his SUV, not wearing his restraints, when he hit the guardrail and his truck went into a ravine. He survived after many surgeries but would have died had he gone down with the vehicle. He was very, very lucky and he was the exception that confirms the rule. What would you like to put your bets on? 90% or 5% - my son (much older now) does wear his safety belts. Peace be with you, Ciao, L (MD PhD)

I was accused of potential "neglect", after getting custody of my children and not being able to instantly appear at the school to pick up my children when they were sick.

What are you talking about...she said the complete opposite of what you espouse...let me guess, just because your reason , commonsense and logic kicked into gear, you fight it with your inane ideology because it doesn't suit your preconceived views.... amazing ..there is no hope for humanity while people strongly hold onto my, my , my or me, me,me at all costs ..so maybe look deep into your soul and mind and truly question what you believe

@@sevincolcer6967 You know what, you are right and I respect you for it - I do not call it Insane, it's just your understanding. But my observation of the tactic used by the speaker is precisely right as well. We can only decipher the message from the level of conciousness we are on - that is not a direct attack to anyone who has watched the video and holds a different opinion. Each to their own, we are only responsible for becoming better human beings and the best place to start is to start with oneself and by working on oneself it provides to the improvement of the entite collective. So its fair to say your assumptions of my view is incorrect. Should you want to bridge that gap with me and focus on what connects us that's upto you, but from your response you've made up your mind 🙏

@@gonzalogodoy1381 I appreciate your comments. I have been jaded by the all pervasive ' my body , my choice' rhetoric without putting that concept into context.. I too agree with you that we need to work on ourselves to better not just ourselves but society as a whole, however I don't believe that working on our individual selves (that happen to come with all sorts of biases and baggages) is good enough on it's own to help the greater good, we need to be able to put aside our own individual agenda's and beliefs sometimes, in order to factor in far more complex and societal concepts to move humanity forward as a whole...pie in the sky stuff I know...

@@sevincolcer6967 sounds like you want communism and tribalism. Putting aside individuality for the common good has produced some of the worst outcomes this world has ever seen. Group think can be positive but also incredibly dangerous and people like you dont see the danger. Collective or group think is what killed so many jews, its what stalin used and mao. Social shaming and compliance or else you are the enemy. It takes exceptional individuals and leaders to move society forward not the common person

I'm one that researches everything. Became anti Vax after my daughter was severely injured at age one, after vaccines. She started having seizures that have never been controlled with medicine. She's now 16 and doesn't want to live. She is one of many that, would so benefit from having other parents around that sincerely cared and understood. I struggled to get friends n family that loved us read just one page of anything, that would help them understand her diagnoses and my fears n struggles. The phrase "it takes a village" to raise a kid is a phrase that needs to be brought back. Thank you for another great talk, much appreciated ! 🥰

[@TheGarlicfather]

Do you think that a child is better off without taking any of the vaccines? Because i think so but I’m not a 100 procent sure and I’m responsible for my kid i want the best for him. I did a lot of research I’m pretty sure i dont wanna get him vaccinated with any of the child vaccines but who knows maybe their is one or 2 vaccines that he should take like polio for example or another I’m thinking none at all but what do you think i would appreciate it a lot if you could respond and help me out with this difficult decision

A friend of mine in high school is blind because her mum had rubella when she was pregnant

[@bartwilson2513]

Your friend is extremely lucky, as horrible as that sounds. Rubella infection in pregnant women at certain stages can be horrific. In the last huge epidemic in 63/64 (I think) resulted in tens of thousands of miscarriages, tens of thousands of severely, severely affected children (way more than simple blindness), and tens of thousands of elective abortions from women who were scared out of their minds. Back in the day they had a horrible name for rubella which I hesitate to use, but it highlights how bad it is....they called it “the monster maker”.

[@courgette3401]

BJ C I think if more people saw the actual results when vaccines are ignored they would be a little bit more realistic in their views. For me it was simple. Statistically, my children had more chance of catching a disease and being damaged by it then they did of having a side effect from the vaccine. In purely numerical terms the decision is easy.

[@barbaraagal6996]

@@bartwilson2513 I was in the 7th grade back then, schools were closed, there was hardly any people in school. I was one of the few who did not have Rubella infection. There have been epidemics in the past and ones in the future. Just use common sense.

Well I vaccinated my daughter and the doctor said he had never seen such a reaction..she vaccinated her Son and he began taking seizures the next day..I was telling a friend this story when another lady came up to me and told me how she was there when her grandson got his shot..she said he was a bright happy boy..she said she watched the light go out in his eyes..and now he never smiles or laughs. I asked her if she had reported and she said to who...so before you go telling others what they should do, don't

[@MrDashou]

is this a reaction to the covid vaccine?

[@GrandisArcanum]

opposite happened to me. my child would never smile or laugh. was never sure what was wrong. After they got their vaccines though it seems like it "triggered" something in them. He's currently a beautiful 9 year old boy who loves MCU movies (especially thor ragnarak. He laugh so much to that) and constantly gives his nona hugs. Weird how things work out like this, Sharon.

I agree, but would add that arranged marriages are significantly less likely to end in divorce.

[@alexagioli]

@@drisgorilla5382 Of course, without considering the emotional and psychological toll, it looks like a win on the surface. "Staying together" is not the measure of a successful marriage, contrary to popular belief
