Teen Mom Star Says She Hasn’t Vaccinated Son

Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry is causing controversy after making statements that she hasn’t vaccinated her youngest son, Lux. Lowry made the comments on an episode of “Coffee Convos.” The teen star was immediately lambasted by parent shamers.

Lowry’s comments came following a listener question regarding the vaccine controversy.

“Wondering if you and Kail can talk about the well-known controversy of vaccines. I’m a mother of three and I’ve always said that I would never be ‘that mom,’ but recently I’ve read so many horrifying stories about vaccines like the MMR [measles, mumps, and rubella], some absolutely devastating stories.

I vaccinated my two older girls and never even thought twice about it, but now I’m paranoid to vaccinate my five-month baby boy. I would love to know both of your opinions.”

Lowry then responded noting that she used to follow doctor orders blindly.

“I definitely think this is a controversial topic, and I don’t want to lose listeners because of my opinion — but, I did vaccinate Isaac, because to me, I didn’t know any better, and I gave — I let them vaccinate him with whatever they basically said that he needed. And I feel like I was ignorant, and didn’t do research, and didn’t know any better.

With Lincoln, I knew a little bit more, and I started to research more, and that’s when I think the conversations of vaccines started to really be going on with me and my friends that became moms,” she said. “And there were documentaries on Netflix, and all kinds of, just, news that I would try to look into. Lincoln did not get all of his vaccines. I definitely picked and chose which ones I felt like were necessary, and he did not get them all at once.”
