As for the battles, well, yeah, that's unfortunate.  Seems whenever someone claims with authority how they think things are, or should be, its hard for a thread not to devolve into a meta-discussion.  It's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess, but it certainly is expected when thoughtful, rational opinion is replaced with rhetoric.Those that are willing to keep an open mind and look at the evidence can see that there is a lot of "junk science" out there about the potentially harmful effects of immunizations.  There is clearly much more evidence to show that immunizations help and not harm...the ratio is like putting an elephant next to a gnat.  People know that schools have and enforce immunizations for the protection of all students.  These things can be discussed, and even debated, but its somewhat pointless at the end of the day.  The bottom-line as I see it is that children (yours and mine) are better with the shots than without, and all credible evidence shows that, and our society is demanding it.  Trying to counter this conventional wisdom, practice, and trend will be akin to swimming upstream.  Sure, you can do it, but it is so much easier/better when one turns around and swims with the tide.I recognize my "bottom-line" statement above seems to be me trying to speak my opinion as authority.  I guess I am guilty of that.  But I don't think this is my opinion...I think it is the current "tide."TJR</blockquote>
