thanks for linking me here.

1. Can you show proof that the number of mandated VACCINATIONS has increased in the last 30 years? (And hopefully not using a chart supplied by J. D. Handley, who is a layman who founded an anti-vaccination group, and is one of Andrew Wakefield's biggest supporters.)

2. The bottom table doesn't do this, because it shows recommended vaccination schedules, not mandated vaccinations.

3. The number of vaccines given HAS increased, but the number of vaccinations hasn't, due to the rise of multi-vaccine injections. (6 in 1, 5 in 1 etc. MMR is 3 in 1.)

4. Can you show that there is a higher incidence of autism (or ASD) in military personnel than in the general public, because military personnel get a military series vaccination? (Large number of vaccines, grouped together into two or three shots.) Nobody has ever shown that, to my knowledge, and it would be an easy smoking gun.

Nevertheless, if you're just taking about children's vaccinations, there hasn't been a radical increase in the last 30 years.

Risky, the best source I found for this esoteric info (NVIC) triggered an 'automatic' hide once. proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #20

Again, you're quoting from an anti-vaccine website. Why not just link me to the CDC website where TrollBuster9090 Feb 2015 #21

I suspect NVIC is the more up-to-date source. To the best of my knowledge, cool searchable CDC site proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #22
