Erica Dixon says her kids aren’t vaccinated
On Twitter, Dixon tweeted, “My twins are 8 months now. Never been vaccinated and have never been sick.”
People began to reply to her tweet with things like: “That’s nice. Mind keeping them away from every single person who’s immune-compromised or can’t get vaccinated for legitimate reasons? No public transportation or crowded rooms either. And good luck..”
When fans continued to respond to her tweet with swift backlash, Dixon doubled down. “People are dying everyday from several disease [sic]. You do realize it’s 2020 and vaccinations are preventative measure in hopes that the body builds an immunity to the disease put in the child’s body,” she said.
When someone brought up that kids who are not vaccinated could get classmates sick at school, Dixon continued to stand her ground, saying, “Vaccinated children get people sick too. The risk is the same and they will be attending regular school.”
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta returns for a new season in 2020. It is unknown if Dixon will appear in some capacity.
