Trump says some childhood vaccines will be split into separate shots

I'm quite disappointed with Trump.  This is an issue that has been very thoroughly studied.

Google AI:

There is no credible scientific evidence demonstrating that vaccines cause autism. Decades of rigorous global research involving millions of children have consistently shown no causal link or association between vaccination and autism spectrum disorders. [1, 2, 3]

The overwhelming scientific and medical consensus is supported by major global public health organizations, including the National Academy of Medicine, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the National Medical Association. [1, 2, 3]

The Origin of the Myth

The belief that vaccines cause autism stems from a single 1998 case series published by Andrew Wakefield in The Lancet. The study suggested a link between the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism based on just 12 cherry-picked children. It was later discovered that the data was fraudulent and methodologically invalid. The Lancet fully retracted the paper, and Wakefield lost his medical license. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Scientific Findings

Since then, numerous large-scale epidemiological and cohort studies have definitively debunked the link across three major areas of concern:

The MMR Vaccine: Massive global studies tracking millions of children across the U.S., Denmark, the U.K., and Japan found absolutely no difference in autism rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. [1, 2]
Thimerosal (Mercury Preservative): Although thimerosal was removed or significantly reduced in childhood vaccines globally as a precaution over two decades ago, autism rates continued to rise. This demonstrates that the preservative does not trigger autism. [1, 2, 3]
Immune System Load: Research confirms that an infant’s immune system is fully capable of handling multiple vaccines at once. Cumulative exposure to childhood vaccine antigens does not negatively impact neurodevelopment or increase autism risk. [1, 2]

Why the Misconception Persists

The primary driver of the myth is temporal coincidence. The first noticeable signs of autism typically manifest in toddlers around the exact same age that children receive their routine early childhood vaccinations. Because these two events happen around the same time, it can easily lead to the false assumption that one caused the other. [1, 2, 3]

The Actual Causes of Autism

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that begins well before birth. According to the Autism Science Foundation, the primary causes include: [1, 2]

Genetics: Strong hereditary factors account for most cases, with single gene variants and familial risk playing massive roles.
Prenatal Environment: Structural brain differences originate in the womb and are tied to factors like advanced parental age, maternal metabolic disorders, premature birth, and prenatal exposure to certain infections or severe air pollution. [1, 2, 3]

The rising prevalence of autism diagnoses in recent decades is not due to vaccines, but rather to broadened diagnostic criteria, improved universal screening, and significantly higher awareness among parents and healthcare providers. [1, 2]

I have heard that raccoons are common carriers of rabies. 

Exposure to rabies requires immediate treatment, or it is 100% fatal.

 Animals have the potential to carry multiple diseases.  I'm not going to be petting any wild animals.

The Disturbing Reality Of Ultra-Processed Food

I would like to see the research on whether ultra-processed foods are unhealthy. However, these foods often contain extra sugar and lack fiber.

Fiber is important for satiety. It makes us feel full by triggering a natural reflex in the digestive tract. Because of this, I have a theory that one might lose weight by starting meals with a high-fiber food, such as a salad, an apple, or beans.

How long does natural immunity last with COVID-19?

This came up in a recent conversation.  Back in 2020, at least one person was saying 6 months.  I'm at an age where I can get a booster every 6 months.

At the moment, just a simple cold has made me feel very bad.

It seems to me that natural immunity would last longer with repeated exposure.   Doctors and hospital workers seem to be immune for long periods of time.

Natural immunity to COVID-19 typically lasts about 3 to 6 months against reinfection, though protection drops faster against newer variants. 

UCLA Health

Duration of Protection
Against reinfection: Measurable antibody levels and protection against catching a mild or moderate infection start to fade after 3 to 6 months. Newer variants can bypass natural defenses more easily. 

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

Against severe disease: Protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death lasts much longer—often remaining strong for 10 months or more. 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov)

Factors That Affect Immunity
Variant changes: Mutations in the virus make it easier for reinfection to happen over time.
Severity of illness: People who had a severe COVID-19 infection sometimes build higher initial antibody levels than those with mild or asymptomatic cases. 

BASS Medical Group

Hybrid Immunity
Getting vaccinated after recovering from a COVID-19 infection creates hybrid immunity. This combination provides a stronger, broader, and longer-lasting defense against current and future variants than natural infection alone. Health experts often suggest waiting 3 to 4 months after a natural infection before getting a booster shot.
