Hi, what do you know about pediatrics? I believe it is the medical field for children.

You're absolutely right. They mostly deal with children, although people can be under pediatric care up to aged 21.

I see. Pediatrics is definitely important then. I am thankful for all the vaccinations they make sure kids get.

Absolutely. There's been a lot of controversy about vaccines lately, but pretty much all scientists agree that they're safe. Bring them on!

Yeah, it's sad to me how so many people want to blame autism on vaccines. Kids used to die from scarlet fever and smallpox. Vaccines are not the enemy!

Agreed. My own son is up to date. Not too long ago I read the fraudulent research paper that caused the controversy. Very sad.

Then you have the celebrities that push it as well. Jenny McCarthy is squarely in that camp. I don't think public schools should allow religious exemptions for vaccinations.

I'm actually a medical researcher, so bad medical research makes me cringe. Moral of the story: trust your pediatrician!
