Another article for the "Well, DUH!" file. Amazing how some people
manage to walk without someone else (a physician?) telling them

It seems obvious, but a lot of people have trouble distinguishing
the good pediatrician advice from the ungrounded goofy opinions.

Apparently: "Up to 48 percent of infants develop the deformity." This
certainly doesn't bode well for our country's future, does it? It looks
like we have a generation ("GenX"?) that hasn't been taught to question
"expert" advice and to think, *at all*, for themselves. No wonder so
many didn't even blink at WJC's "It depends what 'is' is," or when
Congress passed the USA Patriot Act.

You mean like people who have, say a Ph.D. in mathematics and have "FAQs"
about vaccines? Or about people who claim to be experts in nutrition while
trying to sell a vitamin drink or other useless concoction.

Or, how about a group of physicians who went to college for 4 years, then
med school for 4 years and then 3 or more years of residency. And base their
beliefs largely on information that has been published in peer-reviewed
journals?

Gee, so whom should one believe for expert advice on the care of children?
Someone who is a board-certified pediatrician or an outstanding mathematical
theorist?

All the best,

There are other drawbacks to putting babies on their backs. Nowadays,
a lot of babies never even learn to crawl.

Yeah, something else a whole generation won't learn...
