and to which no cause has been identified. This flux in new childhood syndromes mirror the timeline of the CDC’s more aggressive vaccine schedules for children ages 0-6 years.

They feel that instead the government is working hand in hand with the big pharmaceutical companies to fill their wallets as opposed to filling the minds of the parents with all of the necessary information to consider while deciding whether or not their children should be vaccinated.
