In my own view, any parent that refuses to vax or go by an alternative schedule than what empirical scientific research recommends, deserves to have their children removed from their custody and be declared unfit.[/quote]

I am not at all anti-vax but what you said sounds like something out of the 19th century and scares me that there are people like you out there. These anti-vax parents did not vaccinate because of their love and concern for their children. not saying it was well placed but who are we (YOU) to be judge and jury and take their parental rights away?!

These recent results/findings are all anecdotal, so keep that in mind.  These parents were operating on the information that was out there regarding the safety of vaccines at the time....what if they had been right?? would YOU then think its fair to be considered an unfit parent and deserve to have your children taken from you because you did vaccinate?

I used to be friends with someone who was not anti-vax until her first born came along. born completely normal and thriving.  this all changed immediately after her first set of vaccinations. she died at the age of 5 and the parents could only point to the vaccinations.  When child #2 came along damn straight they didn't vaccinate.  No one knows why her first born's health was a disaster after her vaccinations - coincidence? maybe.  but if you were in my friend's shoes and operating on that knowledge you too may have decided to not vaccinate subsequent children.  SO don't judge until you walk in her shoes or the shoes of someone else who's child has died or is so disabled that they have no real "normal" life.  [/quote]
