Measles in the US.

Vaccine refusals fuel jump in measles outbreaks

This article is really bothering me for a few reasons.

1. About 2 weeks ago a 10-Month Old child in my county was reported to have the measles. The fact that my 2-Month Old baby is at risk for measles is scary (Maddox has been vaccinated).

2. Doctors being frustrated about being asked questions about vaccines really ticks me off. Why should we be encouraged NOT to ask questions about our child's health and weird chemical concoctions that they want to insert into our child's body via a needle?

3. Why are we only limited to about 15 minutes (or less) per doctors visits (with the actual doctor, not including the waiting time, nurse time, waiting time, etc)? In the first 2 years a lot of stuff is going on and there may be a lot of stuff we need to talk about. After that, our children are only seen once a year unless they get sick. Is that REALLY enough time to cover all your concerns about your child's well being. The article talks about doctors being frustrated with parents getting crap information off the internet and TV, but in the same breath complains that we expect too much of their time?
