DrMW, I commend you for a valiant attempt, but unfortunately, you’re wasting your time. You will never convince the Anti-Vaxxers.
Owl, it’s interesting that you commit precisely the obfuscation of which you accuse DrMW (but of which he was not guilty – reading the full text of his post will make this clear); instead of responding to his points, you simply counter with scare tactics and empty rhetoric, but no actual data. I also disagree with your assertion that today we administer “dozens and dozens” of vaccines. This is an exaggeration even The Donald wouldn’t have used. None of my children received, or were even offered, more than the standard series of vaccines, which included about ten injections total per child before puberty (although I might be off by one or two).
