[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was absolutely shocked to find out yesterday that my nephew isnt vaccinated at all. This is the first person that I know of in my family/friend circle.

What does this mean for my kids? Would you stop regular get-togethers?[/quote]

My kids have gotten all the vaccines required for school in our state, so I would consider myself pretty middle of the road regarding vaccines. (Although my kids didn't get the COVID shot and we didn't get COVID boosters, so I guess some here on DCUM would consider me an anti-vaxxer.) Basically, I recognize the huge benefits that vaccines have had to public health while also recognizing that some vaccines have a clearer cost/benefit than others. I think the ability to discuss vaccines with this level of nuance would take a lot of the teeth out of the vaccine-skeptic movement.

All that being said, I genuinely don't understand this type of neurotic pearl-clutching. I think parents who refuse all vaccines are misguided, but I don't think it's worth ruining your kids' relationship with their cousin over it.[/quote]
