The current ACIP members “clearly see even the act of recommending a vaccine, which is the charge of the committee for the last 60 years, as infringing on parental freedom”, Schwartz said. That’s akin to suggesting that the dietary guidelines issued last week infringe on the freedom to choose which food to eat, he said.

My wife and I just had a baby on Friday. When we were asked about vaccines we made it clear where we stood and basically summed it up as: "we want him to have all the vaccines he'd have gotten three years ago." The nurse seemed to appreciate that sentiment.

I just hope that hospitals choose to follow the science. Maybe they don't need a government mandate. Obviously these changes aren't helping anyone and are only harmful, but hopefully the harm isn't as bad as it could be.
