Kailyn later took to her podcast, Coffee Convos, to clarify her choice:
“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. 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. So, he did one or two vaccines at a time. And again, those were the ones that I felt that he needed.
Lux is 18 months and he is not vaccinated. He hasn’t ever really been sick, and for me, I just think the more research that I do, and the more educated I’ve become, I just don’t vaccinate him. So, that’s my opinion, and I don’t judge Lindsie if she chooses to vaccinate, or anyone else who chooses to vaccinate — that’s your prerogative. You’re a parent, you know what’s best for your child, and I’m not here to judge.”
On the show, Kailyn even revealed she refuses to even let her ex-husband Javi Marroquin give their son Lincoln a flu vaccine.
She said, “[Javi] texted me asking me how I felt about Lincoln getting a flu shot because I guess he told me that Lauren is a big believer in vaccines. So, I said ‘Whatever you guys choose to do with your son is fine, but my son’s not getting the flu vaccine.’”
Kail stirred up this discussion among her fans yet again by sharing anti-vax rhetoric on her Instagram story.
“Aluminium safe limit set by FDA: 25MCG. Vaccine delivery of aluminum by 18 months: 4,925MCG. How is this safe?”
Fans questioned this “fact,” but the controversy quickly subsided as it usually does…until this weekend! Kailyn reposted an image from the Instagram account @thetruthaboutvaccines which featured a picture of Anne Frank, a young girl who was a victim of the Holocaust.
The text above the image read, “The law is not a moral compass.” “The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it,” read the text superimposed on the picture.
“We speak out now or hide later,” read the caption on the original post.
A fan on reddit reshared the story, and fans were less than pleased with it.
“Yiiiiiikes that is an extremely cringe-worthy comparison! You can believe whatever you want. Fine,” one user wrote. “But if you’re that confident in what you believe in, you don’t use something like that to justify yourself. Chill out, Kail.”
“This is disgusting, an insult to the memory of millions of people who were murdered,” wrote another.
“I think it’s offensive both to Holocaust victims AND people who died from diseases vaccines eradicated!” a third commented responded.
