Main Presentation: “Consumer Vaccine Decision Making” by Chris Downey
May 1st, 2025 @ 4pm PST
How do we decide which vaccines we should take? This is a polarized issue making it hard to get good information. Chris Downey has formed an organization vaxcalc which compiles massive data which can guide us in making these decisions.
He states common mistakes parents make when. Making such decisions include
· Falling for media scare stories,
· Not knowing contents of interventions
· Giving into societal pressures
· Not thinking of oneself as an empowered consumer
· Ignoring “gut “ feelings
· Not belonging to a lifestyle community
