Hardly junk science. It amazes me the people who don't want government telling them what to do, takin' it hook line and sinker about vaccines and their children.
Children seldom die from Mumps, Measles or Rubella if proper care is taken upon exposure.
And children seldom died from these benign childhood diseases before vaccines. The death rate was miniscule immediately prior to the introduction of these vaccines (thanks to improved hygiene and water). The rate of autoimmune disorders was also miniscule prior to the development of vaccines (Hmmm, wonder if there's any connection).
I know. The so-called trade off is a week, maybe two, or keeping the child at home to recover while allowing his/her natural immune system to take over. Of course, this requires proper diet as prevention and during the illness, but they is a great lack of understanding in that arena. Immunizations are the "quick fix".
