Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…
for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.
In 1985 in Africa 25 fully vaccinated children were compared with 25 children who did not have any vaccinations for a period of five years.
Out of the 25 vaccinated children, only one child had mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough but not clinically diagnosed as pertussis.
Among the unvaccinated group, 2 died of measles before the age of 3 years while 11 were infected with measles during an outbreak in 1986. An unvaccinated child also died of tetanus within the study period.
This is why we don't do these studies anymore.

1) Vaccines do NOT cause autism. This is well established.
2) Vaccines have saved 100s of millions of lives. Societal benefits FAR outweigh risks.
3) Most vaccines achieve societal benefit through herd immunity, and large scale immunization of those deemed “low risk.”

So, who are you going to get YOUR infectious disease information from?
Instead of a “debate”, I suggest that anyone espousing anti-vaccine ideas come take care of a child dying of a vaccine preventable illness.
It’s a lot easier to go on podcasts and rail against vaccines when you have no skin in the game.
@amandacowan85 Just having this Convo at our system this week, on ensuring SUD is treated like every other chronic illness, hoping it can avoid some of this judgement/morality policing.
