5 myths surrounding vaccines -- and the reality

[healthinfo6]

The USA "trusted" spokespeople are coming out to allay fears of vaccines and refute the myths, here Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN, who was offered the position of USA Surgeon General, but declined to stay on CNN.
Among the 5 myths needing debunking, I find this one hard to believe, MORE vaccines today yet LESS antigens than in the past?
Then, don't stagger, thus ensure you get as many vaccines ASAP.

4. THEY HAVE TOO MANY ANTIGENS

The fear:
Children are getting more vaccines than they used to, and it's pumping their bodies full of antigens -- the bits of vaccine that cause the body to build resistance. Taken together they're too much for a child to handle.
The fact:
Though there are more vaccines, patients are inoculated today with far fewer antigens than 30 years ago, Dr. Gupta says.
In the 1980's, people received about 3,000 antigens total, as compared to 150 today.
Spreading the vaccines out over a long period of time for fear a child may be getting too high of a cumulative dose of antigens only leaves children more exposed and vulnerable to disease.
And for autism: As with Thimerosal, autism diagnoses shot up around the time antigens were being reduced in vaccines.
