We told our paediatrician that we wanted our kids to get their shots spread out instead of all at once. The doctors said "We never recommend that because American parents just don't care that much about their kids' health and won't bother to come in more than once, that's the only reason that the shots all at once are recommended. Spread out is definitely healthier." Apparently it is so rare that they don't even mention the better options. That's how bad the situation is.

I have lived where people do not get vaccinations. It is horrible to see people with Polio etc and dying of simple to cure things. Vaccinations for deadly things are an amazing part of modern medicine. However don't for the love of all that is good overload your immune system all at once. Jeeze that is just stupid. Parents that allow their kids to get 10 shots in a visit are idiots.

As a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum did the vaccinations cause it? No! Did they make things worse when he had too many at once yes! Did that have permanent affects? No. Shots don't cause Autism can they trigger issues if you are an idiot? That is the question.

It's the lazy, selfish, arrogant, do-gooder, self centered, hands off, ironically overprotective asshat parents that cause most of the issues today. They are the real reason that society is degrading.
There is so much help and information available but because of ^ reasons (and probably more), they don't/won't take any of it on board IF they even go looking.

I think I'll stop here.

They seem to all be nutters of one kind of another. I get the desire to see a place that no one else has seen, but they really never seem to be there to learn about it but to cause problems.
