What I quoted was directly from the website you referenced. I don't think its untrue to state that the need for certain vaccines varies by area of the country, as her comments make clear. And I didn't say to go with what any vet said, I said the top veterinary experts in your area. I definitely agree that many vets are not up-to-date on current research in this area. (btw, just to clarify, most puppies get the antibodies from the mother, but not all.)
Believe me, I did not think you were arguing and your point was well taken. I appreciate your input. Sometime I get carried away worrying about all the harm that is being done to all the little fur babies by over vaccinating, I really think most people don't realize how serious the problem is.
