dont listen to them

DONT LISTEN TO THEM

california public health department
not these guys
listen to them

dont listen to the federal government new guidelines for immunizations

I will go through a list of those that have been eliminated by rfkjr and not your friends or your kids friends

rotavirus
young families now dont have to worry about this one since their kids get immunized against it in early childhood
unless of course you dont immunize them
i have taken care of many a dehydrated infant from rotavirus diarrhea and gi symptoms
yes i have seen kids die from this

now parents who follow the rfkjr immunization schedule will need to worry about this
i think of it as the infant and toddlers norovirus

hepatitis a
we should never see a kid with this disease ever
but now we will
kids are a hands and mouth person 
hepatitis a is easily transmitted this way
yes i have seen kids with this and they can get real sick

Hepatitis b
this is a bad one to miss
getting hepatitis b can lead to liver failure
most kids that get it catch it at birth
getting the shot at delivery protects the baby from catching it later in life also

influenza ie flu
i have treated a lot of kids with this infection every year when i was working
sometimes they would have to be admitted 
if most of us get the flu shot it makes a difference in how much it spreads
yes kids and grandparents can die from the flu

Meningococcal meningitis 
yes i have seen cases of this
many ended up in the morgue
if missed early on catastrophic things could happen like permanent brain damage death loss of limbs blindness and more

covid
granted its not as bad as it was when it first started
now it is attenuated and is usually like the flu
yes there are still deaths from covid just like with the flu

so what should a parent or patient do for correct information
some but not all state healthy departments will not follow rfkjr guidelines
eg the california public health department link above is a good one

for kids the american academy of pediatrics or the american academy of family physicans
for adults the american academy of family physicians or the american college of physicians

just like they did with covid the anitvaxxers will cause more deaths and harm to our health by encouraging americans to follow these new guidelines

trust your doctor organizations

our grandson mr h is immunocompromised from the meds he takes for his kidney transplant
luckily he was immunized against most diseases before he got his kidney transplant at 2 years old
some he got earlier than recommended 
eg
the chickenpox or varicella he had both of them however he has no immunity against chickenpox so if he gets exposed to chickenpox or a close contact with someone with shingles he has to go to the hospital to receive a varicella or chickenpox antibody treatment
he also has reduced immunity to measles

he like all other transplant patients and immunocompromised people rely on herd immunity to prevent outbreaks
in other word the rest of us being immunized protects those in our community who are vulnerable to these infections
people like new babies pregnant women premature babies cancer patients elderly folks anyone on immunosuppressive drugs and of course transplant patients

we all should do our part to protect our communities
we all have someone in our family and friends that needs this protection

in our we have someone with rheumatoid arthritis ulcerative colitis congenital heart disease asthma heart disease diabetes obesity and cancer that need protection with immunizations and herd immunity

i tell folks that i dont want to die from something i could prevent
so should it be with our kids and our vulnerable family members

dont let them do it to us again
