So it's "junk science" to work with a ped to personalize a vaccine schedule?  If they have decided that a particular baby won't need Hep A/B until a little later - that's "junk science".

The CDC creates the schedule to cover the lowest common denominator. If my ped knows my particular child and gives us a modified schedule, I'm going to go with that. So try not to get all hysterical about that.

Some children have compromised immune systems for one reason or another. They need to be on a different schedule sometimes. If your child doesn't meet that criteria and your ped is working with you than they've decided the benefits of getting you vaccinated in the end merit indulging this imagined socially constructed fear. Hard to blame them but yes,  it's junk science and they're just indulging you.

It probably won't harm your child or children around you but the mentality is dangerous because it lends credence to the vote beliefs of the anti vaxx movement. [/quote]

I don't see any harm in questioning. Big gov9't has a history of getting things wrong. [/quote]

Except this isn't big government. It's worldwide scientific concensus. [/quote]
