Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | The Truth About Vaccines

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram Nanney.


Guest(s): Dr. Sue Kressly


Topic: One of the biggest health successes that has occurred in our lifetime is the conquering of severe diseases like small pox, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, measles and others through the development of vaccines. Vaccinations have virtually eradicated many diseases. But recently, due to misleading claims and confusing information, vaccination rates have dropped. There has been the emergence of diseases that we have not seen in 40 years. Today we have Dr. Sue Kressley, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics help us understand why vaccines are the safest and best way to protect our children and ourselves.
