Fearless Keynote -- The V Word: New thinking on an old practice
Educated parents are deconstructing vaccine orthodoxy and finding that the science doesn't just come up short. In many cases, it doesn't come up at all. It's time for a new paradigm on an old practice that increasing numbers of parents and clinicians are questioning -- do vaccines cause more harm than good? Let's take a deep dive into the facts, clinical practice, the science, and the options for parents.
