The CDC or US Government are no longer good sources of information for health care. I recommend Health Canada or UK's NHS.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I work for a children’s hospital (US). Was recently asked by our marketing team to give them a full listing of all pages on our site that reference the CDC because it’s very likely that we will be replacing all of those with other sources.
I'll throw in Australia's ATAGI. There's also an Australian CDC but it was only just legislated last year.
The recommendation was partially due to aluminum in the vaccines. Infants on formula will consume roughly 30x the amount of aluminum they'd receive from all vaccines.
How many children will die or be permanently disabled by horrible, but completely preventable, diseases just to avoid whatever so-called risky ingredients in vaccines?
Infants on formula will consume roughly 30x the amount of aluminum they’d receive from all vaccines.
So what. Aluminum is not bioavailable and is used as a floculant in all drinking water purification worldwide. Chinese have been using alum for 1000 years in cooking. Before that, Greece and Rome. It's one of the most abundant metals on earth.
Aluminum toxicity is more bullshit science. The human body does not use aluminum for any purpose.
It doesn’t use alcohol either beyond converting it to ethanol and then uric acid. Just saying that just because the body can’t use something doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t do any harm. That being said, if aluminum was causing significant issues we’d certainly have heard about it before now, given its widespread use.
Aluminium goes in one end and out the other, does it not?
Most aluminium is excreted through bodily fluids yes but still a significant enough amount can end up in the brain. Once in the brain it has a rough half-life of 20% of a person's life span to potentially even longer.

TY! Adding these to the archive.
Here's some 'bullshit science' for you.

Also Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust at 8.23%.

Aluminum is definitely something we should be reducing everywhere
Biomedical scientists here. Bullshit meta analysis in obscure predatory journals don't impress me.
You can detect a lot of environmental elements in brain, it doesn't mean it's pathogenic. This is why we have CSF washing out our brains every night.
Again, because no read good, aluminum sulphate is used as a clearing flocculant worldwide forever 100 years, and many diets around the world use alum, and have for over 2000 years.
It's only a problem in people with Renal failure in dialysis.
excuse me my body uses it as a tricycle
STOP. DEFENDING. MORONS.
It's not a defense. It's throwing their own dumb logic back in their faces. Aluminum exposure is very common and cutting your intake by less than 0.1% to make yourself vulnerable to a full-blown infection is moronic.
My apologies; I misinterpreted your comment. My mistake.
I think he isn't
So what if we could make a vaccination against the ill effects of vaccinations, would that be alright?
Thr public hazard department.
They want 268,00... Ah fuck it I don't care. The people who need to know how much death is anticipated won't listen.
They sure will when the children around them start dropping like flies. But im sure the dumb fucks will find some scapegoat; probably blame more immigrants or something.
Call me a monster but I hope it bites the antivaxxers HARD. No treatment if unvaxxed with removing the children from these unfit homes.
These are different guidelines now, no one is getting a child removed due following them. It's now more likely that you will get in trouble for giving your kid "unnecessary" vaccinations.
The Department of Pestilence
This is so goddamned infuriating. It's like they want to kill kids.
All while pretending to love ~~fetuses~~, oops, I mean, "unborn babies".
Good, let themselves turn the country into a lepper colony
