Did you verify that claim as factual? Can you point me to the evidence for that claim? My 7 year old child has been fully vaccinated and did not have nearly that many before age 2.
According to the 2013 CDC recommended schedule (PDF) there are 13 vaccinations before age 2 if you break apart the compounded MMR and DTaP. In addition to those 6 there is HepB, HepA, Varicella, IPV, PVC, Hib, and RV. 14 if you include a flu shot.
Are you counting each booster of the same stuff as a separate vaccine?

Bumping since you ignored it, but then made the claim again
|
Here is the schedule.
Infants, Children, & Teens (birth - age 18) | Vaccines.gov

I gave you the schedule as well. Please list the vaccines and count them, as I did. Did you get 36 before age 2? Show your work!
|
Once again, you are a trivia groupie. This is trivial. Who cares whether I got the vaccine schedule perfect or not. THE POINT IS BEING IGNORED IN THAT THE SCHEDULE IS INCREASING. Let me clarify that each dose given (I believe) is considered one vaccine.
|
You made a claim (rather you accepted a claim someone else made) and I would like you to verify it is a factual claim.
If you are counting each dose of the same vaccine as a separate vaccine, then I would question the motive behind that interpretation (could it be wanting to up the number to seem excessive!! and DANGEROU$!!11)
I would think a better interpretation is one vaccine given over multiple doses. It doesn't make sense at all to count 3 doses of polio vaccine as 3 vaccines. If you eat four orange quarters have you eaten four oranges?

Yes, they are talking about doses. I did not say this to make it appear more dangerous. The rate of dosing doesn't pose any less of a threat.

This is what I read:
How could the government recommend limiting exposure to formaldehyde as much as possible and yet at the same time recommend injecting your child with frequent doses of it via 25 recommended vaccines by the age of 6 months, 36 vaccines by the age of 18 months, 43 vaccines by the age of 4-6 years old and a whopping 68 vaccines by the ages of 11-12 years old? Most people don't say 36 doses of vaccine material, but that may be what they mean. I can handle correction if I'm wrong LadyShea.

LadyShea, you are accusing me of making claims when you are also guilty of doing the same thing. You google stuff and use it to make all kinds of claims.
I already said that this is not a definite claim. I am just recalling from memory that the pertussis vaccine seemed to have a cumulative effect in that a child didn't have serious symptoms until the second or third dose.

I am not accusing you of anything. You made a assertion (didn't even include "IIRC" or something). And now you are backpedaling again.
