It’s a sensitive subject. People have strong opinions about vaccines and usually tip the scale to one side or the other. There is so much out there about what is the right choice. Everywhere you turn it seems like there is someone who is telling you how to think.

True, this is a subject you should have convictions on, but I am not here today to stand on one side or the other. I’m not here to point fingers and say one side is wrong.

This is not a “my choice is better” post. I just want to really stress the point that we need to pay better attention to what we are having shoved our way. This is YOUR body and YOU should be the one to decide what goes into your body. So you need to have all the necessary information to make the right choice.

We own our own blood. A lack of informed consent is as if we hand our blood over rather than being good stewards of it. The current CDC vaccine schedule is UNTESTED for safety. Only we can experience what we do inside our bodies. We cannot be a one size fits all society.

And that is the bottom line. Not whether you should or shouldn’t vaccinate, but be INFORMED! Don’t just accept what is handed out, no questions asked. When it comes to your body’s health no question is too insignificant. It’s OK to do your own research before jumping right in.

If you want the best for your body, and for your children, you need to have all the information (both risks and benefits). So get out there and dare to ask questions!
