Bonnie Maldonado, Stanford's Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, sheds light on the risks and benefits of childhood vaccines. She speaks to the dramatic effect that vaccines have had on childhood mortality, the dangers of dismissing the disease we now rarely see, and the safety hurdles that vaccines must jump through in order to be approved.
Drs Maldonado and Davis discuss how to use science-based resources to guide the choices we make for ourselves and our children, and why the anti-vax movement continues to thrive despite its lack of scientific support.
Maldonado's bottom line is clear: vaccines save lives, and their safety risks are minuscule compared to their benefits.
