It really does blow my mind just how willingly people bow to the government deity. This deity, that, by all standard measures is about as inefficient and self-serving as any divine creature before it. We take the same approach that (If I read you correctly) you and your wife take. We too were lucky enough to find a family doctor that was willing to vaccinate our children one vaccination at a time, and only offering another one when we, or child were Asymptomatic from the previous vaccination. We thought this was a logical approach, cautious, and in keeping with the benefits of vaccination, but at the same time paying strict attention to the safety claims made mostly by people who really had no idea what the risks were, why they were risky to begin with, and how to divert or mitigate that risk by simply adopting a one vaccination at a time approach. All 4 of my children are healthy (knock on wood) and so to are me and my wife. We also let our kids pick their noses and eat it, when they were little.
I bet most on this forum don't even know that by allowing your kids to do this, you actually boost their immune system 300% compared to other children who do not do this, during those formative years! I know it sounds gross, but it happens to be true!
I think people mis-read you to be someone who is some kind of terrible parent with your position, and I just wanted to chime in and say that I respect your cautious approach to anything government. You know, a government that has a history of using its own citizens as laboratory rats!
