Confessions of an Ex-Anti-Vaxxer
https://macleans.ca/longforms/confessions-of-an-ex-anti-vaxxer/

"The #antivaxmovement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. It’s lucrative, selling supplements, e-books, courses and products. It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that."

"Being #antivax isn’t just about #vaccines—it metastasizes. You question everything: food, lotions, cleaning products. I once panicked about taking my kids to a friend’s house for dinner because I didn’t know what kind of cooking oil they used."

"There’s this assumption that anti-vaxxers are uneducated, #conspiracy-minded types. And, sure, some are. But there’s also a large, quieter group of #parents who are just confused, overwhelmed and desperate to make good choices."

"I began dismantling each myth, one at a time. And that’s how you get out."
