Replacing the US child vaccine schedule with Denmark’s schedule is negligence, writes @drdemetre.bsky.social “When a jet engine fails at 30,000 feet, it’s not the manual writer who pays the price. It’s the passengers — in this case, America’s children.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | The U.S. vaccine schedule is a jet engine. Denmark’s is a toy plane.
Replacing the U.S. vaccine schedule with one like Denmark’s would be negligence.
