Mom Posts About Anti-Vax Dangers After Daughter Ends Up In ER
wrong. But that doesn’t stop a small but vocal group from choosing not to vaccinate their children anyway, which can have serious consequences for other children. The mother of one of those “other children” posted about it on Facebook after her daughter was exposed to chicken pox and had to be taken to the emergency room.
In her post, Echols wrote that though she hadn’t spoken out in the vaccine debate before, she now felt compelled to after hearing too many anti-vaccination believers say things like, “Why would my unvaccinated kids be a threat to your vaccinated kids if you’re so sure they work?” Her daughter is an example of why vaccines are important for everybody.
“She’s getting lab work, injections of immunoglobulin and then we have to wait to see what the infectious disease doctor says,” wrote Echols. “The incubation period of chickenpox is 7-21 days. So even with all we are doing, she could still become sick in the next 3 weeks. And that would mean an automatic admission to the hospital for IV antiviral meds. She could become very, very sick from this.”
This exposure is indeed a risk to Echols’ daughter and is an excellent example of why people should consider the effect not vaccinating their children may have on others. Of course, since the internet’s got to internet, many people responded to Echols’ post — which came complete with pictures of her terrified daughter in the emergency room — with criticism.
