And we looked at 20 other developed countries and found that not only are we the international outlier in in how high the number of doses we recommend is, but that there's a consensus of a group of core essential vaccines. And we wanted to put that in front of the American people to say, look. All vaccines are still recommended by the CDC, but here are a list of core essential vaccines. So we gave them a list that constitutes about 38 doses from age zero to 18, and the idea is to increase vaccination rates among children that have been dropping because of a loss in public trust by saying, here's a hierarchy of what we believe to be a list of core essential vaccines.
Why this clip
Data-driven contrarian take (20 countries, specific dose count of 38) that challenges conventional vaccine policy. Positions US as 'international outlier' which creates controversy while providing concrete framework for reform.
What they said next
