It’s not. But you’re also not the child’s parent or legal guardian. We live in an era of easily accessible medical information and with people like you, who are willing to share your knowledge to help them. If none of that can convince them, forget it. We can’t keep letting these people play in our faces with their willingly ignorance.
If you’ve never actually watched a child die from a preventable cause, I can see why you would be more willing to give up on fighting the parents on these things. I worked at a pediatric level 1 trauma emergency room before starting medical school. I have watched far too many children die because of some stupid mistake/decision their parent made to be willing to let it go.
Having to do chest compressions on a baby that went into respiratory arrest then cardiac arrest because of a vaccine preventable illness does something to you…and if it doesn’t? Something is seriously wrong with you.
