“Ask your doctor or other health professionals you know if their children are (or were) vaccinated. I predict that everyone of them will answer affirmatively.”

I’ll take that bet. You’re wrong. I can use the money.

15 years ago I’d have agreed. I now know 15 MD’s who either don’t vax the whole schedule or don’t vax the whole schedule AND do delayed shots.

One of whom (former doc my own kids saw) homeschooled his EIGHT children because the 2nd one had a seizure on the table in the peds office while his wife was dressing him post 2nd month shots. The fireworks ensued when the ped nurse tried to tell him (he was in ped residency at the time, he’s a ped specialist) that the ‘baby is just stretching, they do that sometimes after their shots’. No more shots for any of his kids after that. UNsurprisingly the kid who had the seizures got an autism diagnosis.

This former ped specialist (he’s retired) only officially announced WHY he’d homeschooled his kids about 6m ago when the youngest turned 18. He didn’t want to be a target of CPS or a vindictive medical board.

I made a prediction, not a bet. I know physicians who have stretched out the vaccination schedule for their children (because vaccination overload may be a real problem), but out of 25-30 physicians we know and have asked, none is “anti-vax” and none who don't do the whole schedule. How many of the 15 you mentioned don't do the whole schedule, and which vaccines do they not give? (I'm genuinely interested in the answer.)

Don't get me wrong. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical and asked pointed questions about the risk/benefit calculations for specific vaccine. We did that with Gardasil a few years ago. But my point was that the people we know who best informed about vaccines are unwilling to expose their healthy children to communicable diseases for which there are reasonably safe (but obviously not risk-free) vaccines.
