Huh?
The CDC says that prior to the rotavirus vaccine, almost every child in the US could expect to become infected with the virus before their 5th birthday. Prior to the vaccine, rotavirus was responsible for more than 400,000 doctor visits; more than 200,000 emergency room visits and 55,000 to 70,000 hospitalizations every year in the USA just in children under 5 years old. It's unfortunate that all these folks weren't aware that they simply needed to wash their hands with soap and water more often or eat more yogurt! What a bunch of uninformed nonsense.
Globally, rotavirus is responsible for killing 500,000 infants and children every year. Since the rotavirus vaccine was commercialized in 2006, the rate of hospitalization from rotavirus infections has dropped more than 75% in the US.
Yeah, the vaccine is totally unnecessary. Good grief, why is it the people who know the least about a topic are always the first to offer opinion as fact about it? Luddites are a trip.

Your faith in the CDC, the EPA, the FDA, all of whom has signed on to man-made global warming and adjusted their policies and recommendations accordingly is really inspiring!
It’s nice to see some who rather wasting the time required to beg an informed consumer of health care takes the word of the CDC, FDA, and EPA without question.
