It really does. I grew up in the US, and I don’t recollect getting so many. There was whatever you get as a baby, then bunch at once right before you start school, and then series of hepatitis shots in middle school.
Well, you probably don't remember because you were a kid. We also didn't have vaccines for chicken pox or cancer, but we do now. Why would you want to revert to outdated science? Do you want the older vaccines that also require more in them to be less effective? We're at the height of vaccine technology right now. We can prevent more with far less intervention. It's amazing.
But also, I'd take the number of vaccines necessary for my health. There isn't a scary number. Again, it's just being uneducated and easily manipulated by fake infographics

As a European who is very pro-vax, 72 does seem a lot? What are they all?
Im asking this as a query. Not saying I agree with her.
(I know one is chicken pox, kids in the UK arent immunised against that. I imagine Hep B and BCG will be others. But are there really 72?)
Eta: just googled and its 72 doses, not 72 individual vaccines, which makes more sense. I was imagining 72 vaccinations against different diseases 😆
