re: What is your true opinion on anti-vaxxing/anti-vaxxers? *Pre-COVID edition

It was not my intention to debate the merits nor risks associated with vaccinations, including the history thereof, as I believe the societal benefits of vaccinations to be immense. Nor was my intention to present based upon emotionalism, but rather based upon direct experience and knowledge. But yes, I could write both authoritatively and extensively on the points posed.

My intent was simply to impart the concept that risk has, in fact, existed with regard to vaccinations, and further, while I recognize that many parents choose not to vaccinate based upon hearsay, debunked myths, etc., my situation, although clearly falling within a very small statistical percentage, is not devoid of merit and, therefore, the attacks denoted previously can represent an egregious affront to any person that falls within that statistical minority.

Bad luck...perhaps, but I do not view it that way. I view each day optimistically and that each event in our lives serves a purpose. My best to all.
