Measles outbreak tracker

I dont think that...

Edit: but i do find it curious that we need to vaccinate children for hep b. Just does not make sense.

It would have surprised me if you did, but that did seem to be the implications of your admittedly cryptic posts on the subject. Glad that's not the case.

I don't know about the Hep B thing. I don't believe that my daughter, born in 2003, was even given that one. And, in the interest of full disclosure the alleged vaccine/autism link did concern me back then because I knew a woman who swore her kid got autism from childhood vaccinations. But, I looked at the literature and talked to doctors about it and satisfied myself that there was no link. Although my doctor did mention that if there was any risk it was due to the number of vaccinations and the preservative in those vaccinations which is why as of at least 2003, they were combining childhood vaccinations to give fewer shots.

But, in the end, 22 years later I don't think there is any evidence that even the number of vaccinations was causing Autism. It appears that the seeming rise in Autism is more about doctors looking for it and diagnosing it in cases where previously people were thought of as ADHD or just different. Which is why they now often talk in terms of on the spectrum for various levels of Autism or neuro divergent as a catchall for Autism and ADHD. But, I honestly haven't spent a lot of time looking at it since I don't have any kids young enough for this to be relevant to my life other than the lack of vaccinations leading to the return of things like measles.
