Immunization Safety Series: Intro/Index

My generations medical issues that kept us humble often, if not usually, had to do with death and dismemberment due to disease. The issues plaquing today’s parents and physicians seem to have to do with name-calling and sex.

Each generation has its issues, that’s understandable. The viral and bacterial illnesses we spent conquering produced a world whose impediments and trials have different rates and therefore priorities. I get it.

But, it just seems to me that a SMART generation would build upwards on what we had already done, NOT start all over and pretend our issues just didn’t exist.

The vaccine-hater cottage industry has really done a number on society… actually, the whole world. MILLIONS of man-hours have been spent, over-and-above the draconian amount already required to market a product in the US, on proving fictitious claims were wrong.

BUT, GOOD NEWS, they have; and we can now move on… right? This series on Vaccine Safety cronicles the struggle.
