Yes, a rational person would *think* that parents will do their own research and listen to their pediatricians… but as a mom of small kids, I can tell you that many do not - in fact many don’t even consider it. They rely on family opinions, what their friends say, what the six-o’clock news is reporting… This is going to sound horrid, but the average Joe just seems unequipped to be able to do his own research and think critically about what is reported in the media.
