To Vaccinate Or Not I Around the Clock I Everyday Health

I have a friend that actually got Polio as a kid and he wishes so bad that his Mom would of vaccinated him. He could of avoided the disability that he now has. He now is a strong supporter of vaccinations. I also have a friend that has a child that has Autism and I know that when he eats a plant based diet his symptoms almost vanish. To me Autism is related more to our diet than the vaccines. Some bodies react differently to chemicals than others.

I vaccinated my children, but I put them on delayed schedule. I just felt that all the elements of the vaccine are too much to give their little bodies so early. I did do it with reservations thought... ultimately my decision to vaccinate (albeit on a delayed schedule) came down to whether or not I'd be able to live with myself if I had to sit with my child in a hospital bed for something that a vaccine could have prevented.

We do vaccinate our twins, but I we sprinkle them. I dont feel that at 6 months old that they should get 5 shots. That is too much for their little bodies to process. So I have felt better with knowing we are vaccinating them but at a not so aggresive pace.

I''ve never been vaccinated, neither my entire family and we're still alive and healthy as ever. My question is why would you go about vaccinating your child and inject harsh unnatural chemicals into their bodies? It absolutely makes no sense and just WHY
