Nearly half of U.S. children are under-vaccinated because of delays or refusals by their parents, according to a massive Kaiser study, showing widening immunization gaps even in families with primary doctors and coordinated health care.
The study of more than 320,000 children up to age 2 in seven states also showed a steady increase in the percentage of families delaying or refusing vaccines between 2004 and 2008.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Perhaps we should have a young mothers sit down with a couple of generations back and let them tell them some stories.
I understand the fears that some vaccinations are linked to autism but is there really any concrete link to that?
