I was threatened with social services over a comment I made once about opting out of vaccines with one of my kids. It was my right but that didn't matter to them. So much for my freedom. I changed doctors pretty quickly after that.

Yeah, the whole argument of "you can just opt out" must be being made by people who have never taken a kid to a pediatrician at immunization time.

I am so lucky. I have had several emergency room visits, and have requested the tetanus-only shot for my children. The ER doctors COULD have given me trouble, but one even said that they thought I was making a good decision not vaccinating.

I wasn't able to use my regular pediatrician for my youngest until now (She's 4), because I wouldn't be forced into "well baby" checkups(ie vaccination advertisements).
