In my humble yet fairly educated understanding of this issue I beg to
disagree.

In the US the only children with Polio now are the ones that the parents
consented to inject into their children. How would you feel if you gave the
consent to give this disease to your own child.  I could not live with that.

The diseases we vaccinate for are for the most part treatable today( per our
ER DR. next door).  We no longer have the outhouse and other issues of
cleanliness that brought on these diseases of civilization.

I feel that injecting your infant with dozens of doses of mercury preserved
monkey pus is the height of medical folly and child abuse.  I also challenge
you to show one bit of HARD evidence that vaccines work and cause few or no
side effects 1week or 10,20,30 years down the road.  Ask someone with MS or
RA or ALS how good life is since they were protected from polio(OCCASIONALLY
PARALYTIC) or chicken pox.

It's one hell of a decision you bet!

If vaccines are necessary then grains must be also to maintain the large
population correct?

It ain't Paleo in that time or this one, just another drug company grab for
billions of $.
