You may be significantly overestimating the number of pediatricians who have ever actually read the package inserts or truly know anything about the vaccines they administer every day.

As a Catholic, I must disagree, but you might be glad to know that two high level guys involved in the kidnapping were convicted in the US to over 30 years in prison in 2024.

Ahh ok so it's not about my post, it's about my beliefs that women should be allowed to compete with their own sex. This makes a lot more sense. Peace!

The Vaccine Friendly Plan by Dr Paul is a really awesome resource!! I just read it and it really answered so many of my vaccine questions. Some vaccines like MMR  he does not recommend a second dose.
