wellness visits are vax visits

I don’t know who needs to hear this today… but it’s okay to cancel that pediatrician’s appointment.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I seem to repeat this recommendation the most, reassuring new parents. Am I implying that we shouldn’t seek quality professionals when it comes to treating illness beyond our knowledge base, ailments which require urgent care, or simply making sure everything is okay?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Absolutely not.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I am simply implying that when your parental instincts are telling you to question that next pediatrician’s appointment because you are concerned that vaccines will be pushed, remember that the doctors work for YOU.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Cancel the appointment. Research data, ingredients, and adverse reactions.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Research alternative doctors that will NOT pressure you to stay on the CDC vaccine schedule. Fire ANY doctor that shames you for questioning the status quo.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I highly recommend finding a naturopath and chiropractor… or even a family practitioner, if you must.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
But in the meantime, cancel the appointment. You CAN do it.

I just wanted you to know.

better research than the FBI

 

Mothers who don’t vaccinate their children are highly educated, value scientific knowledge and are sophisticated at researching vaccines.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Hmmm… Ever heard the saying — A worried mother (and/or father) does better research than the FBI?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
A study from Am J Public Health 2007 Feb (Miller’s Review of Critical Vaccine Studies) analyzed national immunization data on 11,860 children 19-35 months of age to evaluate maternal characteristics that may be associated with whether the child is fully vaccinated. Mothers with a college degree and high incomes were the least likely to fully vaccinate…

Please note! You do. NOT.  need. the alphabet displayed behind your name to educate yourself on the topic of vaccines – or to give yourself permission to question their safety and effectiveness (because that’s never been proven). If you’ve read an entire insert, congratulations! You now know more than a doctor regarding vaccines, as most cannot name ingredients, adverse reactions, nor how to report them to VAERS, etc. You’ve got this moms and dads!
