Some vaccines have been worth it (measles) while others have not.

The pediatrician really really wanted my children to get the rotavirus vaccine. I said no. That vax was recalled later due to causing bowel obstructions.

The pediatrician wanted the HPV vaccine for my kids. Again, I said no. It causes far too much damage.

The point is, I had to do my research on everything the doc wanted to inject into my kids. Thankfully I had the option to say no and to change the schedule of shots to what I thought was best for my children; not just follow the herd because we were a captured audience.

That said, because of the last 2 years, I question EVERY SINGLE VACCINE NOW. Every. Single. One.

I appreciate your intellectual honesty, and that is regardless of whether we even agree on the premise. Intellectual honesty is critical, and it's important that you are not scared to speak your mind regardless of whether your audience agrees or not!

I would like to ask you another question from the angle I have been thinking about it lately: We in the modern culture are completely conditioned to believe that getting sick is bad, period. But what if getting sick with various things as a kid and surviving those things is an important part of human development? For example, when I was growing up, I had measles (twice,, I believe, even though one is supposed to have it only once). It was considered normal to have it. And what if human body learns an abundance of things by overcoming a disease in a natural way, as opposed to just one trick when overcoming a vaccine-induced attack?

On my end, where I am at right now, I feel that the principle of intelligent training by "somewhat controlled expose to crap," be it physical or emotional, is a concept that has been useful to human beings for probably millions of years. However, I am not sure at this point in time if "vaccines" were ever done right. It may be very well possible to do them right but it doesn't look like they have ever been right, due to general arrogance, lack of an understanding of a bigger picture, and commercial interests.
