Development of a strong Th2 profile in high-risk children w/ atopy

Looking at another aspect of healthy Th1/2 balance, this article suggests that the first 6 months of an infants’ development is essential to creating a healthy balance. Maybe the studies that looked at antibiotic use connected to asthma should only look at it’s use in the first six months. It would be surprising if the data shifted even more convincingly towards being causative. Also, in the first six months of life, just how many vaccines do you think a newborn is exposed to? How about hep B? Hep B is mainly transferred through blood-blood contact in IV drug users and unprotected sex, and also in health care workers exposed to blood. Know many 3 month olds that partake in this behavior? No…? So why do we need a sweeping mandate to vaccinate them all?
