Are You Sorry?


When your daughter gets rubella as she's expecting your grandchild, how do you explain your decision to leave them at risk?

 What will you say when she calls to tell you about her diagnosis of cervical cancer, that could've been prevented, but you were afraid to get her the HPV vaccination as a teenager?

 How will you justify your decision to skip the vaccination that would've kept your son from becoming infertile now that he's contracted mumps as a young adult?

 And how do you break the news that their grandma won't be coming home from the hospital because you refused to get your kids vaccinated for the flu?

 Will you still insist that those "childhood diseases" aren't all that serious; that your gluten-free home-cooked organic cuisine should've been enough to protect them - and it's all Monsanto's fault anyway?

 How sorry are you?
