What your grandparents ate, the air they breathed, the care and education they received is nothing like what we have access to, today.

On “Pediatric Perspectives” this week, join Larry Palevsky, M.D. and Paul Thomas, M.D. (retired) as they take parents on a journey through the life of a child — providing tips and common sense practices along the way.

​Back in 1986, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) was established as a method for compensating those who have been adversely affected by routine immunizations. It was assumed that this program would be a safeguard against lack of access while reducing lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. And it was working, according to Theresa Wrangham, until its control was handed over to the Health and Human Services (HHS) department. Public health has suffered tremendously, and informed consent has been thrown out the window, ever since the enactment of these liability protections. Theresa explains, today, on “Pediatric Perspectives.”
