A pediatrician and parent discuss why childhood health seems to be declining, citing rising autism rates and record cancer cases. They address vaccine misinformation and explore what's actually making kids sicker.
We have to have an extremely high bar of evidence and proof to give a newborn baby something that they don't actively need.
We know autism rates are skyrocketing. We have the highest rates of childhood cancer in recorded history.
It's almost like vaccines are a crazier topic to talk about now than almost any topic. There's a lot of information that's just not true.
They're either vaccinate at all costs or your children will die, or don't vaccinate at all costs or your children will die.
There is no question that our children's health is a disaster. It's infuriating as a pediatrician and a dad, that we're not open to discussing everything and not coming in with our preconceived notions about things like vaccines.
What are some advice that you would give to parents to raise healthy children?
