I dont think your points are unreasonable.

But, then again, you are not talking about the mumps, measles, diphtheria, diseases. For example, your kid isnt going to get HPV for a while—it is prudent to wait a bit on that one. Lyme disease, while a pain in the joints, is not as horrible as german measles.

Being educated and cautious is, well, prudent.

Waving your hand in the air and saying that all vaccines cause autism and NOT looking ou for your children (and those in the community) is not a good idea.

Lyme disease, while a pain in the joints, is not as horrible as german measles.

Actually, Lyme Disease, untreated, can be a LOT worse than just a pain in the joints (severe chronic fatigue, permanent heart damage). I had it, and was fortunately diagnosed quickly.

The nice thing about Lyme, is that in most people it CAN be treated very easily ($10 worth of anti-biotics for three weeks) if caught early. Unfortunately, MANY doctors are reluctant to diagnose it and there is no fool-proof test for it.
