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.
But for a woman who is opposed to a cornerstone of modern medicine, Kailyn was also quick to call out her bestie, Leah Messer, for being involved in an alleged cult.
In texts revealed by Radar Online, the fan, Rachel asked Leah for details about the cult. But then Kailyn Lowry swooped into DM the fan to warn her not to join!
“The cult thrives on belittling people and making them feel less than if they don’t do those classes,” Kailyn said. “I don’t want to see young moms do it and spend their savings on this. It’s not cheap.”
When Rachel revealed to Leah that Kailyn had DMed her, Leah wrote, “I can call you in a little lol This has gotten out of hand,” sounding very annoyed.
Apparently, things between Leah and Kailyn got tense. Leah eventually responded to the whole thing, saying that it was just a fight and she and Kailyn have worked things out.
But since Kailyn is worried about the welfare of others, this anti-vax post has us worried about her own welfare!
