Formerly anti-vax parents on how they changed their minds: I really made a mistake'
Briefly

Nikki Hill Johnson, initially supportive of vaccinations for her first child, began doubting their safety after joining a multilevel marketing company and being influenced by anti-vaccine sentiments around her. She sought validation in communities and literature that questioned vaccine efficacy, leading to her decision to forgo vaccinations for her subsequent children. This shift has left them more susceptible to serious infectious diseases, as Johnson resonated with the belief that she was making a 'righteous' choice against a corrupt medical system.
Johnson recalls that a colleague made her question the safety of vaccines, igniting a fear that led her to rethink her earlier vaccination decisions for her children.
Feeling overwhelmed by the science of vaccines, Johnson sought alternatives, leading to a decision to not vaccinate her next three children based on online research and community support.
