#152: Paul Thomas, MD - Vaccines, Autism & Herd Immunity

We caught up Dr. Paul Thomas to chat about his new book, the Vaccine—Friendly Plan.

A big trend in medicine nowadays is personalization.

(People are genetically, epigenetically and microbially different, so therapies should be customized to reflect this uniqueness. That’s the thinking.)

It seems that pediatrics, however, is still in the dark ages …

Every child gets the same vaccine—at the same time.
 
As of July 1, 2016, children in California can't even go to school, or daycare if you don't do all the vaccines per CDC the schedule.
 
A pediatrician of 25 years says this approach is obsolete.

When a child is at risk for autoimmunity, autism or the like—it doesn’t matter—the child gets the same immune-stimulating vaccines as everyone else.

Here is his customized alternative: http://bit.ly/2bgbLB4

This is a great resource that parents and grandparents should own.

I sure wish I’d had this book when my daughter was little.

Also in this interview, we discuss the data collected from his 11,000 charts that recorded this more conservative vaccine schedule.

Here are a few key timestamps:
 
03:52 Tdap Pregnancy Vaccine Theory
11:47 Flu Shots, Moms and and Autism
13:48 An Individualized Vaccine Approach?
19:21 Vaccines and Developmental Delays
22:24 Herd Immunity

Enjoy,

Mike
