In 1986, we vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella. Today, we also protect against hepatitis b. rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal disease, influenza, chickenpox, hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, human papillomavirus (HPV), and COVID.<\/p>\n

Even with combination vaccines and boosters, the\u00a0total number<\/a>\u00a0of injections from birth to age 18 is far fewer than the 200 claimed in the tweet. For example, by age 2, a child would typically receive approximately 27 injections, with many vaccines combining protection against multiple diseases.<\/p>\n

Booster shots don\u2019t add new antigens\u00a0to your body; they just remind your immune system how to fight the ones you\u2019ve already been exposed to. Counting boosters as new vaccines can give a false idea of how many different antigens you\u2019re actually being exposed to. The increase in recommended vaccines is about using science to protect public health, not about making money or avoiding liability.<\/p>\n

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 reduced liability for vaccine manufacturers while establishing a compensation program for rare vaccine-related injuries. However, this legislation\u00a0did not\u00a0<\/a>increase<\/a>\u00a0the number of vaccines recommended by the CDC.<\/p>\n

Overall, the\u00a0vaccine\u00a0schedule\u00a0has expanded<\/a>\u00a0by 1-2 vaccines per decade since the 1980s.\u00a0This\u00a0slow, methodical, scientific advance of immunization recommendations stands\u00a0in\u00a0stark contrast to concerns that vaccines are constantly being capriciously added to the\u00a0schedule.<\/p>\n

In the end, the growth in recommended vaccines reflects scientific advancements aimed at improving public health, not a profit-driven agenda tied to liability protections.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
