re: What's your view on vaccinations?

I'll say this. What bothers me is that people are labeled pro-vaccine or anti-vax and there seems to be no in between. IMO, the science of vaccines just like most science theories, is not settled (i.e. Updated vaccines and schedules). Vaccines have w/o doubt been a great advancement for medical health but so has personal hygiene and general sanitation of our environment.

You have the CDC trying to make decisions for what's best for the nation but it is not necessarily what is best for each individual person. I don't believe there has to be a one sized fits all vaccine program. I believe parents should openly discuss the health care options of their child with their doctor and be aware of what to expect. I don't see why that's such an unreasonable stance.

There is a very clear inverse correlation there, yet everyone wants to blame the one thing we know is actually preventing disease.

I'm not blaming that at all. Not vaccinating your children is incredibly stupid. You put other people at risk because of your misguided views of vaccines, via your children. Not to mention you put your children at risk of developing turn of the century and earlier diseases that are 100% preventable.
