Thank you for your thoughtful, clear, but gentle open letter. I am sympathetic, and agree that this is a matter to be determined based on each particular case and the thoughtful conscience of those considering the risk.
I think it shouldn't be a big deal for anyone to be suspicious of the vaccine industry--the vulnerability of each of us, to these protected industries, seems to naturally draw out an instinctual sense of warning in us.
For our first kid, we did a "spaced" vaccination schedule. Even with this, it was very hard to find a doctor willing to take us. It was either CDC standard or no deal. A lot of this has to do with the financial benefit doctors get from getting kids "on schedule".
He handled it fine, but our next got a low-grade fever at his first vaccination, then he was really hurting at the next one. At that point we said screw it and stopped vaccinating since he seemed to have hyper-sensitivity.
Note that vaccines have never been really tested with a pure placebo, but they test versus a previous "safe" vaccine, and the "safe" vaccine was tested between the vaccine and another shot with all the toxins in the tested vaccine, minus the vaccine. It's outright ludicrous, and the only reason they don't have a true double blind placebo trial is because they fear the results.
So glad you mentioned the placebo point, and we had an extremely similar experience of starting spaced with our first and then just going full none. Was a battle to find a pediatrician and then received a letter even from them telling us not to come back essentially.
Very shameful for a medical provider to essentially deny treatment to a child! In hindsight I genuinely don't know how valuable pediatricians are - that first visit where they check joints and such, and the 6 month blood/iron level test were probably the only worthwhile visits - everything else was just them telling us to give the kids Tylenol if they were sick (which we didn't even do in most cases, just let the fever do it's work)

Thank you! And I agree there is a lot of room for determine the use of any treatment on a case by case basis.
