[Trigger Warning: Autism discrimination]

If you would rather put your children at (proven) risk of death via Measles than (unproven) risk of Autism via the MMR vaccine, you need to re-examine your attitudes to disability and neurodivergence because essentially you are saying you’d rather your child was dead than autistic.

guardian.co.uk

I’ve tried not to wade into the whole vaccination debate on here, because I feel too strongly about it and fear I’d cause offence, but I think this article is worth sharing because it’s from the perspective of a mother who didn’t vaccinate and now regrets that decision, which is not one you hear very often.
A very brave article to write I think, but an important one during a time of measles epidemics and babies dying of whooping cough.
