If you've ever found yourself reading the comments in a news article about vaccines, you have probably experienced a wide array of misinformed people posting vaccine-related "facts" they read on an online forum somewhere or anecdotes about how harmful vaccines are that they learned from their cousin's mother's ex-dog-walker's mailman. And they are wrong, plain and simple.
There's a great article at NBC that goes down the list of these talking points and unpacks them, one by one, and it's worth reading and sharing to drive these facts home.
Myth #1: When you space out vaccinations a la Dr. Sears' alternative vaccine schedule, it's healthier for your child.
No, it's not, says Dr. Neal Halsey, director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that babies get their first combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine at 12 months and a second dose at age 4 to 6, before starting pre-school or kindergarten. Not only is your child vulnerable to measles if you delay this, but older kids might be more likely to have frightening complications from the vaccine.
well that shoots hell out of doc quack Rand Paul's assumptions or were they really misleading lies to jab at the Pres. and his speech about telling parents to act like parents and get their kids vaccinated i added the act like parents part Pres. did not say that i did. checkout the other 6 before Fox starts the rumior ill.
