"it was in support of the notion popularly supported by anti-vaxers that parents should make medical decisions after "educating" themselves, instead of heeding the advice of trained medical professionals."

I, for one, entirely believe that parents should make medical decisions after educating themselves, instead of blindly heeding the advice of trained medical professionals.

I am also very, very strongly pro vaccinations.

I also refused to give my children specific vaccinations when they were very young, preferring instead to wait until their systems were more developed.

The responsibility for the health of my children belongs to me, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
