   I am definitely not against vax or medications at all. But that doesn't mean   
   that because of advances in science we can't further investigate the and   
   especially   
   the side effects and the risk of young children receiving multiple different   
   vaccines at the same time and things like that and adjust recommendations   
   accordingly.   
   Parents also need to understand the risk vs reward aspect as well and as some   
   of   
   these previously eradicated for the  most part, diseases are resurfacing that   
   needs to be considered as well.
