Sounds good but as in the article I posted the science to support those laudable assertions is not there. If this assertion were true there would not be such a disparity between other Nations vaccination schedules and our own.

As a scientist and a physician I know how much fluff and guesswork goes into decisions that are then reported as scientific by multidisciplinary groups. There is a need for vaccination but there is also a need for studies to effectively & safely administer them and identify subgroups that may be at risk.

Where were you during the Gardasil fiasco?

Oddly, I can find no evidence that other nations vaccine schedules are significantly different than ours. The main difference I see is that they give the BCG (anti-TB) vaccine in several countries in the EU, but we do not use that one in the US.

Most nations base their vaccine schedules on WHO recommendations. The US CDC and the WHO work closely together, so our vaccine schedule is also close to the international recommendations.

You claim to be a scientist and physician, yet you do not talk like you have those qualifications. I am a scientist; the topic of vaccines happens to be one of my specialties.

I was right here during the “Gardasil fiasco.” As I recall, there were a lot of claims in the anti-vax community that actually were not substantiated by any solid evidence. The luddite resistance to the HPV vaccines seems to have dissipated. Meanwhile, we expect the HPV related cancer rates to start decreasing as more young people who were vaccinated as children reach adulthood.
