For years, studies have pointed to one especially powerful influence
over whether a person will get a vaccine: a clear recommendation from
their doctor. Throughout most of her career, Nola Ernest, a
pediatrician in rural southeastern Alabama, could reassure families
who were hesitating to vaccinate their kidsin many cases by explaining
that she had enthusiastically opted into the same shots for her own
sons. In the past few months, though, shes spoken with several
families who, at her recommendation, had previously immunized all of
their older kidsand yet are now adamant about not vaccinating their
newborn. I reassure them that I am still the same pediatrician, Ernest
told me. They say, We still trust you. We just think a lot of the
things have been pushed on us for a long time that were not actually
necessary, or were harmful.
