Vaccinations

Most people assume that childhood vaccinations are the proper thing to do but many are surprised at the number. In 1980 children got five shots and today they get 17. One area of concern is the long-term effects of childhood vaccinations. When ever an unexpected result appears the first reaction is that they are just testing more. This sounds reasonable but in 1980, one in 2,500 were diagnosed with autism and today that figure is 1 in 30. Many studies have been done and they all show no connection between vaccinations and the increase in autism but these numbers continue to cause lingering doubts. Chronic childhood diseases are on the rise in the United States, with nearly one in three young people now living with a chronic condition or functional limitation. Research shows a significant increase in conditions like ADHD, autism, asthma, obesity, prediabetes, anxiety, and depression among children and adolescents over the past two decades. This rise is linked to public health, societal, and lifestyle factors rather than genetics, and it necessitates increased investment in long-term care and support for these youth It is notable that the action offered was to treat the symptoms.
