Should You Vaccinate Your Kids? A Controversial Opinion

Posted on 03/05/201103/10/2011 by Backpacking Dad

Should you vaccinate your kids?

No. And here’s why:

You aren’t a doctor. I think for most people the sensible policy to have is to get a doctor to do it. Unless you are really really really really good with needles.

So, unless you are a doctor* or a junkie, I don’t think you should be vaccinating your kids.

I hope that settles things.

*Nurses too. I think nurses do a lot of vaccinations, so they’re probably good at it. You should ask one of them.

    What about a vet? Should a vet vaccinate their kids?

    This is the best blog post I've read in awhile. And it's where the argument should end.

    Can I safely infer that you feel the same way about circumcision?

    It takes an especially sexy blogger to issue such a bold statement.
