When our kids were born our pediatrician who was from Germany mentioned that the US vaccine schedule was accelerated compared to Europe. The reason was that parents here are more likely to just stop bringing their kids in for scheduled checkups at some point and the accelerated schedule somewhat compensated for that. In addition pharmaceutical companies don’t or won’t coordinate so there are fewer combo vaccines and more shots than necessary. So take a new parent who’s surging with oxytocin and vasopressin; give the parents only one choice (vaccinate or don’t); and then stick a needle in their kid. Then repeat that the next visit but with multiple shots. Hmmmm... yep it is the internet... How about this: - Create two vaccination schedules to provide parents choice - Force vaccine providers to package vaccines to reduce the number of shots - Eliminate vaccines at birth when parents hormones are surging - Centralize tracking of vaccinations to reduce the burden on parents who move between health care providers because of changes in insurance - Offer in-home checkups and vaccines for at-risk groups that you wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise

So what you’re proposing is to increase the period in which unprotected infants may be exposed to dangerous diseases, just to pander to a bunch of noisy know-nothing narcissists? The CDC et al already tried placating those malevolent turds by removing a perfectly safe preservative from vials (increasing the cost and risk of those vaccines to everyone), and the only thing that happened was those messianic loons and malignant grifters took that “goodwill gesture” as a validation of all their egomaniacal bullshit, and so doubled-down on their screeching and lies in return. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccines-still-dont-cause-autism/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccines-still-dont-cause-a... Here’s a much better idea: how about taking each one of those new parents for a good long walk around every nineteenth-century graveyard in town, and count up all the gravestones under which little kids lie, from a time when even in a “first-world” society endemic diseases killed one in ever two or three before adulthood, and tell all thpse blessedly ignorant modern-day parents of yours to grow the fuck up.
