Just to clarify...My son did have SOME of his shots. I didn't think we were up to date, which is why I posted the question. Then my wife did a search for the immunization card to see exactly what shots we were missing, only to find out he is indeed up to date. So, everyone can simmer for now. I am not going to allow my only son to infect all of your children so they all die. I hate reading stories like that!

I understand that many people think it would be insane for a parent to not immunize their child. 100% get it. That's called an opinion. This forum is a scary place for anyone who has one of those that goes against the popular consensus. That's sad, but cool too. Shortly after my son had his last round (18m) of shots, we decided to look more into the subject. And nothing at all to do with the Autism debate either like some here just assumed. It was just a personal choice and I do not regret it at all. I don't believe the illuminati is out to kill his generation through tricky vaccines either. I simply believe that the idea of vaccines being relevant/needed today needs to be explored.

Again...thank you for the replies and PMs. I love debates like this, even if people resort to personal attacks and wrongful assumptions. That's the known risk when posting here, or any forum.

Side note....When my wife and I started talking about this today, I told her I could post this here, and have tons of responses right away. After the first 7, I bet her that there would be 100 replies before 5pm. She said "no way". Thanks for the win!

Final clarifications added after I posted this...
I don't feel bullied or picked in this thread. Appreciate the responses, even if they don't agree. I knew what I was getting into. I am not Mormon. Not religious at all. No a Creationalist (sic?) either, and I freaking love science too. I think that covers all the misconceptions here.
