Who do we protect when we vaccinate our children? We protect our children, and we protect other children like Ben, who was undergoing leukemia treatment when the unthinkable happened. After Ben’s potential exposure, he received nitrous oxide while being given shots to boost his immune system. Seeing four nurses work together to give him one round of shots and then get ready for the next round was dreadful for me as a mother. I looked into Ben’s innocent eyes as he was in “dreamy land” and could barely speak without crying. How could anyone ask Ben to fight more than leukemia? It is more than enough to ask a young child to fight leukemia–but to ask him to fight a vaccine-preventable disease on top of it? It is unconscionable. voicesforvaccines.org/when-its-not-a-choice-measles-and-leukemia/
