So lovely to see all the gorgeous and healthy babies on the front page of The Echo this week.
With less than half of all young children in Mullumbimby fully immunised and having the lowest vaccination rate in Australia, I hope at least some of these babies will be immunised.
It’s obvious that the non vaccinators have never watched a baby die of whooping cough, cared for a disabled polio sufferer or had an immuno-suppressed family member or friend.
Kudos to the AVN for changing their misleading name to the more honest, Australian Vaccination Sceptics Network.
Blessing from a home birthing, extended breast-feeder, co-sleeping, vegan mother of four.
