I’m reading that medical school faculty are having to teach residents about how to recognize and treat pediatric illnesses that they themselves have never seen. Rotavirus diarrhea that is severe enough to require days of hospitalization. Bacterial Pneumonia. Whooping cough in babies too young to be vaccinated because it is going around in older unvaccinated children. Children entering hospitals sick having to undergo invasive tests if they are unvaccinated in order to discover what’s wrong. Or being given strong antibiotics that shouldn’t be needed. One doctor says it’s a slow uptick now but a tidal wave of illnesses that were practically eradicated (like measles) could be coming. What are we doing to our babies with so much false information going around?
