I am my child’s advocate; you aren’t.
I know my child. This child is mine. Mine to protect and mine to cherish.
You are quite convinced that Immunization X will not harm my child.
But then you send my child home. We live with the consequences. You don’t.
You say that only this few out of this many will have a reaction. This few is acceptable to you. You don’t take them home and live with them.
I may decide this few is too many because I know that if my child is part of the ‘few’ I am the one responsible.
It is my call. Back off. Show some respect.
I am my child’s advocate.
If I don’t advocate, who will?
If I won’t represent his and her best interests, who will?

You take care of the numbers. I’ll take care of my people.
