You get labeled anti-vax for just not wanting to follow the gov't imposed schedule. Many are merely critical of vaccines, and prefer the schedule of Scandinavian countries, Singapore, Japan or Israel. Here a graph that visualizes the number of vaccines (US highest with 36, lowest have 11) children <6 should have gotten by schedule. It is understandable that many in the US are asking questions with that number of vaccines while some of the most developed nations do with so few, and seem to have a much better public health care system. I think Finnish health care is good enough for me and any children I may have. I prefer 11 shots over 36. Am I now an anti-vaxxer? Well, I've been called one many times, but I do not think so myself. I'm critical of any chemical that goes in my (child's) body. E-numbers, supplements, air quality, pesticides, BPAs and vaccines as well. http://vactruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/number-vaccines.jpg http://vactruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/number-vaccin...

Yes, you're anti-vax because you share misinformation on this topic and try to pretend that rather than irrational fears you're spreading "truths". That chart is garbage, the main thing they've done is sort a column chart by height with the implication that this signifies something, but it doesn't. The US has higher than expected childhood and especially infant mortality because it deliberately doesn't provide decent healthcare to a substantial fraction of its population. If anything the US has lower than desirable rates of vaccination, which is why it keeps having problems with outbreaks of preventable diseases.

  All I'm saying is that I'd rather go with the scandinavians when it come to a health care protocol that involves shooting substances in the veins of young children. I'm certainly afraid the US has the public health care system that is most "lobbied" by pharma, and the scandinavians have one that is most impartial.

  But good point about the extra data in the chart, I replaced it with a chart only shows one data point.
