1. Four references, read them again: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026329715#post125
Toss the Brogan link if you like. It is her professional opinion, not a study or case report, although her credentials and qualifications are top notch.

2. Find any EU country that has the same universal HepB birth dose policy as the US: http://vaccine-schedule.ecdc.europa.eu/Pages/Scheduler.aspx
HINT: Does NOT exist.

Are you calling all of those public health departments/officials inane names, too? And everyone in the EU public? Ridiculous.

3. Incidentally, Brogan doesn't work with AOA or I'd be familiar with her. Site search shows one interview: http://www.ageofautism.com/2014/09/dr-kelly-brogan-cdc-youre-fired.html

Ironically, during her very outspoken interview (which I just discovered) she discusses Dr. William Thompson (relevant to this subthread). Did you already know that?
