You dont need that falsified data to come to the conclusion vaccinations in the US are a problem. Remove it from the picture.

Compare the US vaccination schedule to any other develop country. Compare our infant mortality rate.

Aside from the differences in the vaccination schedules what is the US doing different from other developed nations. Keeping in mind infants do little but eat food, sleep and see a doctor.

So it's food or healthcare causing the difference. With WIC and the fact poor people qualify for free medical care it's arguable economics dont play much into this.

so explain why the US is so bad at this ?




> Compare our infant mortality rate.

Part of the problem is that the US uses a weird definition for infant mortality that makes it hard to compare across countries.

But even after accounting for that the US is still worse than other countries, and we don't know why.

The NHS vaccine schedule is just as large as the CDC's: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

We're worse at prenatal care. And post-natal care. And there's some serious income inequality problems "poor people qualify for free medical care" doesn't actually obviate things as much as you think it does.
