As for vaccinations, My mother got polio after the Salk vaccine came out. When I first heard of people saying there might be a connection between autism and some vaccines, I decided that they are worth the risk. My family would get whatever vaccines the doctors recommend. Full stop. And at the same time I do like to be aware of potential side effects.ETA: And now of course, I am convinced that there is no causality from vaccines to autism.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

You could also give her this link to a chart that clearly shows the link between autism and organic food sales:

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry about the suckitude, Amy. I'm not thinking you are going to miss this place.
On vaccines, one of my doctors enjoys showing a graph of how deaths from coronary artery disease has decreased in the same proportion to the increase in McDonald's burger sales. Yeah, correlation and causation two different things.
Just vaccinate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clicking through on that organic autism link led me to the following line "Hey baby, I wanna lay tangent to all your curves. Can I touch your asymptote?" which means I'm at twice my RDA of larnin' today, and it feels good.

I confess to having watched some more of The Vanilla Ice Project, where he flips houses rather more masterfully than you might expect.

I'm sorry, Amy. I hope you find an employer who deserves you soon and then your former company gets sucked into a hellmouth.
