Well now you understand perhaps a bit better why some people don't follow the immunization schedule or don't immunize at all. A little enlightenment never hurt anyone, and the same for a reminder to not be judgemental. Unfortunately, some sane people get grouped in with the people who are making uneducated choices (in this case, choosing flatly not to vaccinate) for their children.
Bottom line: immunizations are good, but educate yourself on their side effects - it may be your child who has a reaction. Do some real research: online forums don't count, try MEDLine or a medical journal.
