Patrick Gentempo, D.C.: One of the horrors for a parent is the fact that they’re not exposed toward the dangers of vaccines.
In a typical circumstance a mom goes into the pediatrician and the pediatrician typically is gonna tell the mother that this is the vaccine schedule. They’re told by a person in a position of authority that it’s the right thing and the moral thing to do. They’re also told that they cannot place their children school if they don’t do it and they’re not really fully disclosed what the risks are to their child.
Garrett Gunderson: When your a parent you want to protect your kids and so if I’m told “hey if you don’t vaccinate you’re putting your kids in danger” we don’t question, we just want to protect. We want take care our family.
Patrick Gentempo, D.C.: Now it escalates from here they do the first round of vaccines and they find that their child reacts, not uncommon, and they’re like “you know doc, I’m not sure I should be doing this, my kid had a fever for days, they were sick, they were screaming, they’ve had all kinds of whatever issues”.
It’s enough of a reaction to say that the mother noticed that something wasn’t right about it showing that they have sensitivity towards having a vaccine.
Andrew Wakefield: There are entirely valid questions and those valid questions come precisely from parental instinct.
What medicine has done is try to usurp that instinct.
Patrick Gentempo, D.C.: Many times the pediatricians completely dismiss it…
