All I can say at this point to you is well, Good Luck and hopefully your being Naive does not end up comming back to bite you and the people you love in the rear end. You may be one of the people this issue never affects and I hope you are, but science is a process and not an infailiable dogma.

One parting piece of adivce: One should be Skeptical in life and not always trust everything you read even if it comes from the so called “experts”. Always question and think through processes yourself and don’t just blindly follow things because people who spent more money on their education said so.

...blindly follow things because people who spent more money on their education said so.

This is such an odd statement.

Do you feel the same way about cardiology, brain surgery, endocrinology, and other medical sciences?

I'm just baffled by someone who thinks that she can give Doctors pointers because she read something on the Internet or "had a feeling". Do you feel the same way about brain surgery or cardiology? God forbid you have to have open heart surgery one day. Are you going to give your cardiologist pointers too?

Maybe you think the guys who built the Large Hadron Collider just had more expensive degrees than you do; otherwise they know just as much as anyone else.

Look, I don't believe your story. Maybe the Doctor was humoring you, and it wouldn't have made a difference if you got the second booster. Maybe you're embellishing, truncating, skipping parts of the story, or just under a flat misappreshension.

But the worst thing is that you appeal to skepticism, and then ask a complete stranger to use your anecdote as medically scientific gospel, even when presented with evidence to the contrary.

You don't really understand what skepticism means if you expect an unsourced, questionable story (that is not directly related to pediatric medicine) to be taken at face value in direct contradiction to the evidence.
