I also received the recommended immunizations as a child with >no evidence of adverse effect.

The number of shots has skyrocketed in recent years, the kids get simply a huge number of shots/toxins before the age of 2, not to mention, many got a bolus dose of mercury at BIRTH with the Hep b. It's a whole different ball game from when we were kids, the kids now in the USA get more shots, at an earlier age, than anywhere else in the world. All I would recommend is that one research the (ever increasing) shots with the same diligence that one spends researching the purchase of a new car. Then, come to your own conclusion. There are 200 new shots in research/production as we speak, so if you like them, there's lots more for you on the way!!!
