I have not been able to locate the referenced article by Dr. Palevsky by Dr. Guyer(sp?), et al. In fact, I couldn't locate a publication "Pediatrics Journal" but I did look at every abstract of every article in 2000 from both "Pediatrics" and "The Journal of Pediatrics" in an effort to locate one containing the topics referenced. There is an article examining belief systems that do not include vaccinations (PEDIATRICS Vol. 105 No. 4 April 2000, p. e43 Chiropractors and Vaccination: A Historical Perspective) however it could hardly be said to support Dr. Palevsky's thesis. Can an actual citation for the referenced article be provided?
Thank you.

From Dr. Mercola's site, I found the link to Dr. Guyer's article.

Thanks Joshua! I must be missing something as the only possibly inferred support for the ineffectiveness of vaccines I'm finding is at the bottom of the first column on page 1315 and that simply states that vaccines due to their relatively infrequent usage, do not account for the decline in mortality due to infectious disease prior to WW2 -- it seems to credit them for elimination of a few of diseases subsequent to that time (Specifically pertussis & measles, tetanus, and poliomyelitis). Am I missing the "excellent" support for the "danger" and "misinformation" surrounding vaccine usage?
