It does make you wonder if we shouldn’t vaccinate until exposing the children to solid foods in ordinary healthy cases. The mother’s antibodies from her milk do good work.

There are other commenters warning about skin exposure before dietary exposure. If that’s true then it would make sense.




If you say certain words you get downvoted but I’ve found people seem to keep an open mind more if you use words like “medicine” that don’t immediately challenge deeply held beliefs

Interesting point about the skin exposure, I’ll go back and review those comments. Evolutionarily/practically i would think it’s tough to get oral exposure to something prior to skin exposure (it hits your mouth/hands/face before your stomach), unless the breastmilk vector you mention is critical
