I got 2 vaccines as a baby in 1959. Polio and smallpox. And I now believe they were totally unnecessary. As a kid in the 60s I don't remember a lot of sickly kids. I do know that kids today get a lot more jabs and are are not, as a group, healthier that we were in the 60s. Of course, there are other factors. We didn't have video games or cellphones. It's pretty obvious those are not good for kids.
That is certainly one factor. A big one. But we can't ignore the effects of smartphones on kids. Optometrists have reported an increase in vision problems in kids. Their posture isn't helped by staring at their phones while they walk or stand. They get a lot less exercise than we did, and less sunshine. Their attention spans are damaged by the infernal gadgets.
I do not know Dana. And can't give medical advice online but personally as a physician I refuse all of them and my kids will never get them.
Yep

It is my belief that the childhood vaccination schedule may be the cause of most of the damage we see in children today.

Bingo. That was my point. You're smart.
So are you! :)
Love it. But how much did we agree that I'd pay you for saying this?
A new yacht coming your way .. soon. Thanks! :-)
Thanks. I'm not smart but my parents taught me common sense. That is what is lacking.
Common sense. You (and Tag below) hit the nail on the head.
It's so rare these days. How about Objectivity? Gone too.
Common sense barely exist anymore. I also got mine from my parents also. Both lived thru the great depression and lived self sufficient lives.
