Infant Mortality Rates Regressed Against Number of Vaccine Doses Routinely Given: Is There a Biochemical or Synergistic Toxicity? Neil Z Miller and Gary S Goldman.

Abstract
The infant mortality rate (IMR) is one of the most important indicators of the socio-economic well-being and
public health conditions of a country. The US childhood immunization schedule specifies 26 vaccine doses for
infants aged less than 1 year—the most in the world—yet 33 nations have lower IMRs. Using linear regression,
the immunization schedules of these 34 nations were examined and a correlation coefficient of r ¼ 0.70
(p < 0.0001) was found between IMRs and the number of vaccine doses routinely given to infants.
