Parents
One of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent is whether or not
to immunize your child. Parents have been faced with this important decision for
years and some, like Benjamin Franklin, have made decisions they regret.
LINK encourages you to make an informed decision by talking to your child’s
healthcare provider and doing your homework; learn all you can about
vaccinations from reliable
sources.
In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of 4 years old, by the Small Pox…
I long regretted bitterly and I still regret that I had not given it to him by
inoculation;
This I mention for the sake of parents, who omit that operation on the
supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it;
my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and therefore the
safer should be chosen.
