I have a toddler, totally poison-free. I heavily researched it before making my decision and I believe that the risk of disease is very much worth it. A healthy child with a knowledgeable parent is at almost no risk compared to the burden of Vax risk. How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor outlines all the diseases nicely.
My 24 month old son is totally vaccine free. He can speak in sentences, is potty training himself with very little encouragement, and makes any other two year old boys I have met look autistic.
My son is also a just-turned-two real boy, and he has recently started using a "pretend voice" to act like inanimate objects are talking, like he has seen my wife and I do.
The other night at supper, he held up and wiggled his piece of bread and went "hello mommy" to my wife. I lost my sides entirely.
>"hello mommy"
That is adorable. I feel like I can picture that in my mind.
