i genuinely overheard some lady talk like that at the vet bc my clinic wouldn’t see her cat if her cat wasn’t vaccinated. the lady said she “wouldn’t do that” to her cat… like the vaccine is the worst thing that could happen to it.

It’s worth being skeptical of what people demand you put in your body. Especially when considering that it’s not universal among respected institutions inside and outside the country. Just labeling things in two groups vax and anti vax is too narrow minded there are legitimate criticisms of vaccines.

is it worth being skeptical that brushing your teeth generally prevents cavities if you are not well-educated on dentistry? is it worth being skeptical that wearing a seatbelt generally saves lives in car accidents? is it worth being skeptical that washing your hands generally prevents the spread of germs? is it worth being skeptical of ANY of these extensively researched, peer-reviewed, and scientifically-based conclusions on general principles?

Generally, vaccines are beneficial to society and save lives or extended periods of serious illness by both preventing and eventually eradicating preventable diseases. Doctors may particularly advise against some vaccinations for subjective health concerns, such as immunodeficiencies. It is not logical to assume all vaccines have legitimate criticisms, let alone to believe those criticisms are peer-reviewed by professionals with valid or reliable evidence. In science, truth must prevail.
