You are comparing apples to oranges - or rather, to ducks.

Vaccinations before the 1980's did not have mercury, insecticide/pesticide and other heavy metals. They only started using them once the USA gov gave them immunity, so that they cannot be sued.

I am 74 and I have lived through it and I also keep an eye on the research that Kennedy is doing, under authority from Trump. One of his first reports states that after checking slum schools in 30 cities, they found that among the boys of dark skin, about 80% of them have suffered, to various degrees, brain damage. Even the teachers can see it, but the scientists, who are financed by big pharma, object, saying it has not been proven.

I would rather err on the safe side - oh, by the way, recent research has shown that children who have never been vaccinated are healthier than those who have.

Unfortunately, the days of us trusting our doctors are long gone, most are paid so much by pharma that they cannot afford to take a stand against them.

I hope the above makes it easier for parents to find which is the sane way to handle this problem.

To tell the truth, if I was younger and had a child, I would not hesitate to break the law; I would pay a doctor to pretend he gave the vaccination and provide me with the certificate. That is how strongly I personally feel about it.
