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 Lindsey 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.”
But now, fans have a unique theory about Kailyn’s choice.
“I have a theory that Kail is only stoking the anti vaccine fires to stay relevant and get people to talk about her.” wrote user bennybatman on reddit.
User stassieee wrote, “I think her kids are vaccinated honestly lol.” And user Jerniearf30 agreed, “Everything kail does is for attention and an attempt to stay relevant. Negative attention is still attention.”
Some were very incensed by this concept. “Spreading dangerous misinformation especially when you have a huge platform just to stay edgy and relevant is downright disgusting,” wrote user jetgurri.
But not everyone agreed. “I think Kail is just genuinely stupid and doesn’t have secret agenda to stay relevant,” wrote user tinyheadedcolossus.
Others fell somewhere in the middle. “I think Kail is stupid enough to really believe conspiracy theories but she’s doubled down on it because it brings her attention. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out all the kids are actually fully vaccinated,” wrote user hawkcarhawk.
Recently, Kailyn really doubled down when she compared vaccines to the holocaust!
