Vaccine-skeptical mothers say bad health care experiences made them distrust the medical system

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Popular writing denigrates white and middle-class mothers who reject vaccines as hysterical, misinformed, zealous or ignorant.

But a growing number of Americans doubt the safety, efficacy and necessity of routine vaccines.

The medical system’s failures and harms against women gave rise to their pervasive vaccine skepticism.

Johanna Richlin : The perceptions mothers shared are far from isolated or fringe, and they are not unreasonable.

She says the number of Americans harmed in the course of treatment remains high, with incidents of medical error in the U.S. outnumbering those in peer countries.

Only 23% of Americans express high confidence in the medical system, she says.
