(6,113 posts)it says "the CDC recommends that children get 69 doses of 16 vaccines," or just an official website from ONE STATE that mandates children get 29 doses of nine vaccines to attend kindergarden? Just show me ONE STATE that mandates 29 doses of nine vaccines to attend kindergarden.
The problem is that your original chart from J. B. Handley tried to correlate 36 "mandatory" vaccines before age five with the highest infant mortality rate. (Your original comment was regarding Sweden vs. USA) In fact, the USA does not mandate anywhere NEAR 36 vaccines, and what Handley has obviously done is add together all the vaccines that are mandated in ANY state (and probably not even universally-- ie- many States mandate nurses get HEP B vaccinations, but not children, obviously), to come up with the number 36. When, in fact, most States mandate two or three children's vaccines at the most (not 36), while Sweden DOES mandate all 11. If Handley cooked up a deceptive chart like that, there's no reason to believe NVIC wouldn't do the same thing.
So, if you're going to make a claim that the CDC recommends 69 doses of 16 vaccines, or that 'most states mandate 29 doses of nine vaccines before kindergarden' you'll have to link to either the CDC, or a State website that claims that. Not a second hand quote from an anti-vaccine advocacy group.
