@Chula No. I'm not going to look through your family's medical history before I slap you on the nose
for anti-vaxxer rhetoric. From what I've seen, a specialist (see my car analogy) said 'ja maybe it's not right' and she goes off of that?
I'm not taking anything less
than specific instruction from a pediatrician. How many times do I have to get this point across? Ffs dude you can't be that thick.

I can see if it's something else relating to the brain (encephalitis, maybe?) or spinal cord/nervous system but something just doesn't add up here.

Herd immunity is the alternative for those extreme cases. Everyone who can gets vaccinated to make sure that they aren't symptomless carriers who could infect people who either can't get the vaccine or those who the vaccine didn't take on (there is a slight margin of error with vaccines, they're not infallible). That's why the ideological stance against vaccinating kids without any medical justification is so dangerous. It's also why I'm so militant on the subject, regardless of whether or not I make a parent cry.
