Hi, Mrs. Smith. I wanted to let you know that at this appointment, we're gonna be giving Lilly some vaccines.
human
Oh, I-I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. I've been reading a bunch of stuff lately about them.
gpt
Hmm. Can you tell me more about your concerns about vaccines?
human
Uh, yeah, well, I was just- I was reading that it's better to let them build up their immunity, like, naturally and stuff in their immune systems.
gpt
Okay, so you were thinking that maybe exposing Lily naturally to these diseases would be a better choice than using vaccines to help her get stronger?
human
Well, yeah. I mean, I had chickenpox as a kid, and now I'm immune. Right? So.
gpt
That's right. Having chickenpox as a child means that you are less likely to have chickenpox as an adult because you've developed a-a natural immunity. Uh, but is it okay if I offer you a little bit more information about the other vaccines that we're- we were going to give her Lily today?
human
Uh, okay.
gpt
Okay. So, uh, before vaccines were developed, often when children had a natural exposure to some of these diseases, they ended up with, uh, sometimes death, disability, measles caused brain damage and, uh, deafness and blindness. Polio caused, uh, paralysis in children. And so, allowing children to have natural exposure to these diseases, sometimes was a little bit of a gamble, it could be dangerous.
human
Wow, I didn't realize it was so dangerous. I've never heard of polio.
gpt
Hmm. Some of these things I've mentioned to you, you're-you're not familiar with. Uh, and I think that's because we've done such a good job of eliminating some of these diseases that a lot of people your age, and even my age, are unfamiliar with those things.  Um, so having shared this information with you, what do you think about the idea of vaccines for-for Lilly?
human
Uh, I guess it's okay. I mean, I just I want her to be healthy and safe.
gpt
It's really important for you to make sure that she's protected and that you make good decisions and do your research before you make any medical decisions for her.
human
Yeah, I just want to do what's right.
