Compliance with Vaccination Recommendations

Acccording to an article in the May AJPM (Volume 34, Issue 6, Pages 463-470) "Only 28% of children beetween 18 & 30 months of age were correctly immunized." These children either had no immunization, only part of the required set or missed necessary doses to be properly protected. The U.S. falls way behind developing countries that can ill afford expensive medical interventions and understand the value of preventing infectious diseases. The activists in this country get too much press whlie they spout invalidated theories about the dangers of immunizations. Being old enough to have seen children in iron lungs, to have seen children mentally damaged from measles and mumps. to have seen children with multiple organ damage from measles, sterility from mumps and heart abnormalities from maternal rubella I find it incredible that so many people cannot see the value of protecting theit own children as well as all others, even if very rare side effects do occur. Nothing is 100% safe. We have been misled by tort lawyers whose first answer to any damage is to sue, and whose second act to to push uninformed politicians to make special exceptions. Remember that no-one can prove that nothing occurs, yet this is the mantra of activists.
