The Bachelor's Osher Gunsberg joins the Anti-Vaxxer debate

He's pro immunisation... - by Penelope Kilby
  • 11 Apr 2019

It's a controversial topic with strong opinions from both sides.

WATCH: OSHER'S ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE

And now Osher Gunsberg has joined the Anti-Vaxxer debate.

The Bachelor In Paradise host let his 104,000 Instagram followers know that he's pro-vaccinations, which prompted some serious debate in his comments section.

"My 45th year on this earth is brought to you by; my toothbrush, antibiotics... and vaccines (among other things)," he captioned a photograph of himself getting an injection from a medical professional.

One Anti-Vaxxer's response was swift. "Wow. I wish you truly knew the “devil” you are posting about," they wrote.

My 45th year on this earth is brought to you by;⁣ my toothbrush, ⁣antibiotics, the Haber-Bosch process, and vaccines (among other things). ⁣ ⁣ 100 years ago I'd be twelve years from death. ⁣ ⁣ I'm now just over 1/2 way there. ⁣ ⁣ Yay science. ⁣ ⁣ #scientificmethod

Osher then explained his choice the follower. "I appreciate that there’s some very scary, very convincing things that you may have seen. The science is in, and vaccines are safe. But they told you I’d say that so it may push you further away from the actual truth," he began.

"I’m so sorry that the things you’ve seen are so frightening. I’d be frightened too if I believed them. But I don’t because they aren’t real. They are simply not true. There are risks with anything (driving, riding a bicycle, riding a motorbike - I do all three, but not at once) and the risks of an adverse reaction to a vaccine is infinitesimal not only compared to these other things I do every day, but the risk of passing whooping cough onto my impending baby is far, far greater. And I, like you, love my kid - and I don’t want to hurt my kid, just like you - out of that want to cause no harm and out of that love, I’m getting a vaccination."

Osher is expecting his first child with wife Audrey Griffen in August.

We are very happy to introduce you to the newest member of our family, joining us late August 2019. ▫️▫️ Please meet "Chickpea", the person behind the last three months of @audreygriffen's surprise day-naps and a mysterious aversion to her favourite Ramen restaurant. All four of us are over the moon and looking forward to meeting this wonderful young human. ▫️▫️ For me, meeting Audrey saved my life. Meeting Georgia gave my life a purpose and direction that I never expected. ▫️▫️ These two wonderful women have given me so much already, they've helped me heal and grow - and now to have the chance to share with them the experience of bringing up a child together is just incredible. ▫️▫️ Now, it's off to provide on-call back rubs and to fetch ginger tea when needed.
