(34,384 posts)That's sort of the point of not being binary. There are not two, but many positions.
As for a shred of evidence:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24238833
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23902317
And that's only the particular aspect I've been concerned about before the first scientific article was written on on it, because I understand how vaccines work - and I understand (as well as can be understood at this point) the disease etiology for autoimmune disorders and put two and two together before the research into it even started.
While most people should get the full range of vaccines, there are some who should not - or should selectively vaccinate based on individualized risk balancing. Those who insist it is binary, rather than a continuum should return to your caves - since you are rejecting the reality that medical knowledge is continually growing. And, when it grows, those in the trenches often have enough information to responsibly act on that information before it is absolutely confirmed by research - because waiting for absolute confirmation risks the lives of real children, as anyone caring for a child with a rare disease knows.
