Raising Smarter Children

I want to take a quick break in our RaisingSmarterChildren.com mini-series on Smarter Children Activities, because of news on a new study from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The study says that unvaccinated kids are 23 times more likely to  get pertussis or whooping cough…and as a mom, I still have questions about whether kids should be vaccinated – do you?

I’ve actually seen videos of healthy kids who suddenly weren’t healthy after vaccination, and am always curious about the autism and vaccination link, especially because most of the mercury was taken out of vaccination drugs – why was this done if there was never a question about a possible link?

We’d love to hear from you, so leave a comment below.

Also, you can read the full story on this at Dr. Maino’s blog at
