Because of this, this question and this story, because I want to get vaccinated, and this interesting situation I was in, I saw that I quickly was in this public setting of an extremely important controversy and discussion taking place.
Now, I saw that the stories and headlines were pretty accurate for the most part.
You know, after defying anti-vax mom, Ohio teen expresses why he got vaccinated, pretty accurate.
Pretty true.
And as stated, I testified in front of the Senate committee.
So there, they said, this teen who's still vaccinated just ripped his mom's anti-vax beliefs in front of Congress.
Okay, I didn't really do that, but I said, that's fine.
And certain news outlets took it a little further.
God knows how I'm still alive.
Teenager 18 finally gets vaccinated.
and attacks his anti-vax parents.
So I did not attack my parents.
That's not accurate at all.
And, you know, really, my story was more about controversy.
It was about how my mom was bad, and I was good, and I was ripping her a new one.
Not true.
Not what was happening.
I never was rude towards my mother, and even in public settings where I expressed how her beliefs were misinformed, I said that she was a loving mother.
And that's important to understand.
Because a lot of people, I think, in the scientific community that understand why vaccines are so important can really be confused why someone would not vaccinate.
