She Was Seemingly Trying to Be Helpful …
“Just like I talk about with birth, I think the most important thing is to have a doctor or care provider that gives you evidence-based options and allows YOU to decide what’s best for your family with no pressure or judgement,” Bekah originally shared on her Instagram Stories.

This Is When the Mommy Shamers Descended!
“Our pediatrician gives us full control over the decisions we make for our child,” she continued. “He has parents who choose to give their kids all available vaccines, parents who choose selectively and parents who choose not to vaccinate at all. He truly supports all decisions.”

She Kept the Clapbacks Rolling …
“It’s not illegal, FYI,” Bekah replied to a fan who called her an anti-vaxxer. “It’s only mandatory for childcare, and people do homeschool. Calling people who vaccinate “pro-disease” and “pro-death” is f—ing twisted.
“Again, I am vaccinating my child and encourage others to do so,” Bekah continued.

No, Really, She Kept Going …
“You do realize when you go to any kind of tourist area, there are TONS of people from around the world who have never been vaccinated, right?” she reasoned. “I’m not endangering my child by taking them to my doctors officer where families don’t vaccinate anymore than someone who takes their child to Disneyland.”

She’s Takes Her Daughter’s Safety Very Seriously!
“Again, not advocating for the decision to not vaccinate, but your claim that I’m putting my child’s life at risk is absurd.”
