That goes to a little bit more on common sense, I would say, because there's no research to show that if you do a slower schedule or you do one at a time, it's going to decrease your risk. So we don't know. And we don't have science on the current schedule either. Right. So it's the truth. So I don't know that it decreases your risk at all.

But the theory that a parent would have is I don't want to give my kid four vaccines on a day. there's more toxic load, there's more that the body has to deal with, and therefore it potentially increases their risk to have a reaction. So I feel more comfortable giving one at a time. Instead of doing two vaccines today, I'll do one today and I'll come back in a month and do the other one.

They're still doing them. They're just doing them one at a time. And that, yes, it means more visits, but they're still at the end of the day doing all the vaccines. So I don't have the research to say that that's better, but we should have that research. We should be studying that. We should be looking, hey, if we space it out, does that decrease your risk of anything?

There's two sides to that question. The first part of that would say, and this is what the general consensus is, we want to give the vaccines early because you get the protection and you want to protect before you get the disease. So that's the general body of science.

The concern around giving vaccines early is, like you said, the immune system is developing, the baby is developing, they're still small. So any sort of toxic load or any chemicals or any sort of stimulation is going to most likely have more of an effect on them than it would for an adult. or somebody older. And so that's the concern.

There certainly are some studies that say if you delay certain vaccines, then you decrease sclerosive asthma, you decrease sclerosive eczema. I mean, these studies exist. They're not the majority, but they're out there. And there are some actually very good studies and good journals that show this. So it's not an unreasonable hypothesis to have.

And again, it goes back to the research we should be getting. we should be asking, hey, if we move the hepatitis B vaccine back, does that decrease your risk of anything? I mean, just in basic common sense, if you give a vaccine to anybody, the biggest risk you have is having a fever, right? Having a fever, not feeling good. If a baby in the first week gets a fever, what happens?
