Vax Talk

Karen and Dr. Boonstra have a nice variety of knowledgeable guests. Best of all they believe in science and care about the health of our communities.

My kids were vaccinated as infants. I’ve been diligently researching information on both sides so that I can make fully informed decisions for my children and their future. Ive found some very helpful anti-vaccine information with real studies and facts. I wanted the same type of information on the other side. I wanted to be sold on why vaccines are safe and good so I can feel confident continuing my kids’ vaccine schedule. But after listening to several episodes of this podcast, I’ve been given literally no compelling evidence for vaccines. That information might be out there somewhere but you won’t find it here. I’ve heard very little actual research or facts, mostly conversations based on opinion and condescending behavior. Nothing the interviewers or interviewees have said have led me to want to vaccinate my kids again. I might, but it won’t be because of anything these people say.

Parents who are looking for info to decide whether to vaccinate or not: this is not the podcast that will help you decide that. They got on an talked about politics… this is not a political question.. give us the proof of why or why not I should take the risk. Very bad job, very sad

I find anti-vax people and messages infuriating so I sometimes hesitate to listen to or read pieces about this topic. But the personalities and approach of the hosts, Ernst and Boonstra, lift my spirits while they inform me.
