You asked that people who did vaccinate not give their opinion so you are already showing a bias. I think you are mixing up issues here. I work in the health field and completely agree with you about pharmaceutical companies- like any big business they worry most about the bottom line. Some of their tactics are reprehensible. No argument, but that is unrelated to the safety and reliability of vaccines for children. Don't let your "disappointment with the medical industry" cloud your judgment. There is consistent, reliable evidence (from academic institutions- not drug companies) that vaccination risks outweigh the severe dangers of communicable diseases. Please make sure your research is balanced. There is a lot of information out on the web from non-reputable sources. Have a long, challenging talk with your doctor about the research your have read and the reservations you have. If your doctor doesn't respect your concerns, find a new one until you estabish a relationship of trust. Then make a decision. Good luck to you.
