Let me say this clearly, once.
Questioning something does not make you ignorant.
Thinking critically does not make you “anti-science.”
And declining a medical decision that doesn’t feel right for you does not make you irresponsible.
I believe in informed consent.
I believe in risk vs. benefit -for the individual, not blanket messaging.
And I believe people should be allowed to ask questions without being shamed, pressured, or talked down to.
When something medical is pushed with “one size fits all” messaging, flashy slogans, and zero nuance -people are allowed to pause. That’s not fear. That’s common sense.
Some vaccines help some people.
Some people benefit more than others.
And not every recommendation is automatically the right choice for every body, every age, or every health situation.
Blind trust isn’t wisdom.
Blind rejection isn’t either.
You’re allowed to think.
You’re allowed to decide.
And you’re allowed to say, “Not for me.”
That’s not controversial.
That’s personal responsibility.
