On the most recent Coffee Convos podcast, Teen Mom 2 star Kail Lowry and co-host Lindsie Chrisley tackled the controversial topic of whether or not children should be vaccinated. Lindsie reveals that she did have concerns about vaccines being linked to autism, but she and her husband Will still elected to have their son vaccinated. Kail, on the other hand, says that Isaac was vaccinated because she “didn’t know any better,” and Lincoln has only been partially vaccinated. Her youngest son, Lux, has received no vaccinations.
“I definitely think this is a controversial topic, and I don’t want to lose listeners because of my opinion — but, I did vaccinate Isaac, because to me, I didn’t know any better, and I gave — I let them vaccinate him with whatever they basically said that he needed. And I feel like I was ignorant, and didn’t do research, and didn’t know any better.”
“With Lincoln, I knew a little bit more, and I started to research more, and that’s when I think the conversations of vaccines started to really be going on with me and my friends that became moms. And there were documentaries on Netflix, and all kinds of, just, news that I would try to look into. Lincoln did not get all of his vaccines. I definitely picked and chose which ones I felt like were necessary, and he did not get them all at once. So, he did one or two vaccines at a time. And again, those were the ones that I felt that he needed.”
“Lux is 18 months and he is not vaccinated. He hasn’t ever really been sick, and for me, I just think the more research that I do, and the more educated I’ve become, I just don’t vaccinate him. So, that’s my opinion, and I don’t judge Lindsey if she chooses to vaccinate, or anyone else who chooses to vaccinate — that’s your prerogative. You’re a parent, you know what’s best for your child, and I’m not here to judge.”
‘You know, Javi texted me asking me how I felt about Lincoln getting a flu shot, because I guess he told me that Lauren is a big believer in vaccines. So, I said “Whatever you guys choose to do with your son is fine, but my son’s not getting the flu vaccine.””
“If you don’t want your kid around my kid because he’s not vaccinated, that’s your prerogative, too.”
