Not everyone vaccinates their children against everything anymore. There are have been studies linking it to autism and there is still debate going on in the medical community. I have a co-worker with an autisic child and while I can't quote the numbers he gave me accurately, I was astounded at the number of vaccinations children receive today versus when I was a child. I'm only 36, so were talking maybe a 20yr span in which I think the number of shots more than doubled (again, I don't have the numbers here).
My animals are all fully vaccinated and Mojo's test results came back today just fine. I just think it's good to question. It seems like the prevailing opinion is that the majority of vets don't know much about nutrition. I can personally attest to that being true in my experience and I've certainly read enough posts about it on this board and elsewhere. If that's the case, what else are they not well educated about? How well is veterinary medicine even regulated?
