Vaccines
Regarding vaccines, my main stance is to support parental choice. I used to be able to give vaccines required by Virginia schools in my office, but I preferred a more delayed schedule than the one recommended by the CDC. However, new research appeared starting around 2018, including two large studies by Mawson et al published in 2017, and many others in the years after that. A good book summarizing this research is "Vax-Unvax, Let the Science Speak", by RFK Jr and Brian Hooker (2024). Also, the failure of the covid measures to have any effect on "stopping the spread", including the isolation protocols, the cleansing rituals, and the "covid vaccines", helped my patients question the hyper-focus on microbes that prevails in much of society This hyperfocus and fear of microbes is especially prominent in the main public health organizations such as WHO and USAID.
Because of this new information, my patients started delaying vaccines even more than previously, and many chose to stop them altogether. I no longer keep any vaccines and do not give them in my office, so my patients need to use local urgent care centers or public health clinics if they choose to get vaccines. That said, I am comfortable with a variety of vaccine schedules, including delayed vaccines, limited vaccines, or no vaccines, if that is what parents have chosen for their child.
For people who are choosing to vaccinate, I prefer a more spread out schedule than what is recommended by the CDC and I prefer they delay vaccines if a person is ill or recovering from an illness, and also if they have a significant health challenge which increases their risk of adverse effects. Two prominent pediatricians who have written books supporting limited vaccines are Paul Thomas, M.D. and Bob Sears M.D.. I recommend people who are interested in accurate information about this issue get together with some popcorn and watch this video interview between these two pediatricians before contacting me, because my experience has been similar to theirs over the past two decades, which they describe in the interview.
