Did you know about the race to give kids more shots or vaccines?

[link removed] It's easy to make claims of 'excessive childhood vaccination' when you lie ( [link removed] ) about the number of shots kids actually get.

Well, it's not really a race to really give more shots...

The Race to Give Kids More Shots

It's a race to make it seem like kids are just getting more shots than they really get to scare parents ( [link removed] ) away from vaccinating and protecting their kids.

So who's winning?

Until very recently, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr ( [link removed] ) had the lead in the race, as he pushed "the number of shots to over 100!"

[link removed] We don't even have 100 vaccines...

Of course, kids don't get 100 vaccines ( [link removed] ) or 100 shots, no matter the type of vaccine they are getting.

To get to 100 shots, in addition to typical anti-vaccine math to inflate the number of doses, he is likely adding in yearly COVID vaccines and COVID booster doses - something that isn't recommended for any kids!

But this claim helped Kennedy ( [link removed] ) beat out the old record for shot inflation propaganda - 72 shots.

[link removed] Propaganda about vaccine doses is meant to scare you from making an informed decision ( [link removed] ) about vaccinating your kids.

There were a few years when the true record holder was in doubt though...

[link removed] Remember when Bob Sears ( [link removed] ) pushed propaganda about vaccine doses as a member of Dark Side ( [link removed] ) forces?

Not surprisingly, even anti-vaccine influencers ( [link removed] ) couldn't agree on how many shots kids were getting!

Still, records are made to be broken...

So who's winning now?

Peter McCullough ( [link removed] ) has come out swinging and is the new champion!

[link removed]
Peter McCullough ( [link removed] ) says that kids get 108 shots!

He says that kids get 108 shots!

And he goes so far as saying that they get 13 shots at one visit!!!

Of course, none of this is true.

We don't even have 13 different vaccines to give a toddler between the ages of one and two years!

[link removed] What is the real intent ( [link removed] ) of anti-vaccine influencers ( [link removed] ) ?

Ironically, McCullough ( [link removed] ) gave this little speech about vaccines at the Calvary Chapel in Chattanooga, TN in his “The Battle to Uncover the Truth” event.

How Many Shots Do Kids Really Get?

But if kids don't really get 72 or 100 or 108 shots, just how many do they get?

[link removed] How do these guys get to 100 or 108 shots with the current immunization schedule for kids? We know how they use anti-vaccine math to count combo vaccines multiple times, but what are they counting now???

With yearly flu shots ( [link removed] ) , which accounts for at least 19 of the doses, through age 18 years, kids can get about 56 shots, with protection against 14 different diseases.

Most kids don't get that many "shots" though, thanks to combination vaccines.

[link removed] Vaxelis, ProQuad, and Kinrix are just a few of the combination vaccines that your pediatric provider might offer to reduce the number of shots your kids get, which can help getting vaccines hurt less ( [link removed] ) .

In fact, using the latest combination vaccines ( [link removed] ) and the nasal spray flu vaccine, your child can get as few as 27 individual shots and still be completely vaccinated and protected!

That doesn't sound as scary as 108 shots though, does it?

The real question for Peter McCullough and the folks who listen to him should be - how many vaccine-preventable preventable diseases ( [link removed] ) do you want your kids to get ( [link removed] ) if they skip or delay getting vaccinated and protected?
