[QUOTE=", post: 2840"] The information on the vaccination stuff is too scant and politicized to know anything for sure. However, I do think we have gone overboard with the massive numbers of immunizations. I understand immunizing for horrible disease like polio, diphtheria, and tetanus. But we are now immunizing for routine childhood ailments that are rarely life threatening (measle, mumps, and rubells for instance or chickenpox-- I and every other person my age that I know had all of these as a child). I just don't think that we know enough to be doing so many vaccines or at least the ones that are for diseases that are almost universally self-limited should be optional. In other words, it should be mandatory to immunize for polio, but not for measles--up to the parents. Even though all kids in my day had these vaccines, we rarely heard of a learning disabled, ADD, or autistic child. Now, almost every boy on our street has a "diagnosis".
