You dont need that falsified data to come to the conclusion vaccinations in the US are a problem. Remove it from the picture. Compare the US vaccination schedule to any other develop country. Compare our infant mortality rate. Aside from the differences in the vaccination schedules what is the US doing different from other developed nations. Keeping in mind infants do little but eat food, sleep and see a doctor. So it's food or healthcare causing the difference. With WIC and the fact poor people qualify for free medical care it's arguable economics dont play much into this. so explain why the US is so bad at this ?

The NHS vaccine schedule is just as large as the CDC's: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/741543/Complete_immunisation_schedule_sept2018.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... We're worse at prenatal care. And post-natal care. And there's some serious income inequality problems "poor people qualify for free medical care" doesn't actually obviate things as much as you think it does.

>You dont need that falsified data to come to the conclusion vaccinations in the US are a problem. Yes you do. Vaccines are not a problem, they are a solution to a problem which has plagued every generation of humanity for all of history up until the past 3 generations. Stop promoting child maiming and child murder. Vaccines have provably saved billions of lives. And the fact that you would hide American racism and the shocking infant mortality in black communities under the anti-vax label? It's one of the most dishonest things I've ever read. America has an infant mortality problem because we have a racism problem. FULL STOP END OF DISCUSSION. There is no infant mortality problem in white or Asian communities. That's just a fact. It has literally nothing to do with vaccines.

> Compare our infant mortality rate. Part of the problem is that the US uses a weird definition for infant mortality that makes it hard to compare across countries. But even after accounting for that the US is still worse than other countries, and we don't know why. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4856058/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4856058/
