So my kids will be fully vaccinated by the time they go to school, but instead of going in to a doctors office and receiving 5 vaccines at one time, we have more visits and add another year to the schedule.
The only vaccine I really consider not having my kid get was the chicken pox vaccine, since its a seemingly harmless child hood disease, but a dangerous adult disease, but in the end we got that one also.
Yeah, that is what I'm saying. The exact dogma is not necessarily the best, but you have done research from (hopefully decent sources) and discussed it with your kid's doctor. Nothing wrong with that. Especially if it is becoming standard of car in many other countries. Standards of care continually evolve, but the evolve based on evidence. As long as your reasons are backed by evidence, and not "I feel" or "So and So said that..."

There are not a ton of people like that, but they are very vocal so they can do a disproportionate amount of damage. What got me off on this whole tirade is this chiropractor who is a friend of a friend.
As soon as he figured out I can decipher his big words and smooth talk he instantly stopped talking to me.
Also, regarding your post a while ago about not being able to tell the difference between good sources and bad sources, I'm going to work on making some pointers. Still haven't had a ton of time to put towards that project.
Edit: Crap, I was thinking about doing a little poast for my 1000th (poker related haha). Haven't wrote it yet and 1000 is creeping up. Oh noes!!!
Edit #2: I had never really thought about how this community is similar to a peer reviewed scientific community.
We publish our ideas here and then they are either ripped apart and s*** on by the community or accepted and reinforced.
