Even if you add those 18, you still don’t get 69. What number are you getting? Maybe I’m counting wrong.
i got 57 when i did it
his heart is in the right place but he takes everything a little too far and is prone to embellishment

That link is working for me now and I agree with you. Seems like he's overcounting Dtap. How the hell is he getting 15 total doses for Dtap?!
EDIT: Ohhh now I get what he's doing. He's counting a vaccine that is considered "three in one" as three. So then if Dtap has five doses but he considers it three separate vaccines in one, then that's how he gets 15.

Ahh yea! so technically he is correct

Technically yes. See this is why I posted this question here. To get to the bottom of this. Thank you for taking the time to help me :)

That link is down for me.
Problem with his heart being in the right place but lying or misrepresenting numbers means you can't take anything he says as fact. It undermines his credibility. Very unfortunate since he could have said the correct number and still had the same effect.

he is a politician and a lawyer
and who knows if he even wrote the book

Did you get 57 by going to the cited CDC vaccine schedule site or by going to RFK's own site (childrenshealthdefense)? Because the former is what the book cites and what should be used to verify the count. The latter could very well be wrong since RFK himself seems to be inflating the number. In the book he states 69 and in recent interviews he's now saying 72.

i got 57 by counting from cdc
his website says 69 which is wrong as he overcounts dtap
and then he augments his wrong 69 with covid boosters to get to 72
reply
Hmm, not sure how you're getting 57 from CDC. I can't get anywhere near that.
EDIT: Just counted again and if you count flu vaccine once per year for 18 years, the dengue one which is only recommended for places where dengue is prevalent, and the COVID shots with boosters then I get close to 57. Still nowhere near 69.
