Safe sex/ abstinence isn't always an option. See my previous post.

Our pediatrician laid out all the pros and cons, and concluded that the benefits outweighed the risks. . . . and you know, that's what he went through med school and residency for, and that's why we go to him . . . .

Your Ped probably spent 4 hours total learning about vaccines. All students in med school spend the same time on the subject, and it's not enough time to even begin to scratch the surface. I've talked to many doctors and what they hear in school is the basic "vaccines are great" lecture.

I will never understand this blind trust of doctors some people hold. Pediatricians make the bulk of their money off of "well visits" for vaccines. Do we expect them to discourage the very thing that provides their livelihood?
