Vaccines to me actually don't make any sense at all at such a young age.
Think about it, we sterilize bottles and pacifiers, we wash baby's clothes seperately, and with special detergent, we wash our hands before handling baby, yet we somehow think it's okay to inject them with a little bit of poison once a month, as early as 2monts old.
Edit: I just read the rest of the answers, and I wanted to say to iamhis0, Good for you, you're a wonderful mother!
Also contrarty to what people believe, vaccines do not boost the immune system, the actually weaken it. And even doctors will agree to this.
Vaccines try to stimulate the part of our immune system that creates antibodies, but not the part that has the symptoms of the disease. This actually confuses and gradually weakens the immune system. Especially when it comes to babies, because their immune systems are still not fully developed, and they can't cope sometimes with all the vaccines they're injected in such a short period of time.
Not all kids are going to get sick, but even if your child seems fine, you're never going to know if an allergy they have is due to some vaccination.
Also, there 's no proof that vaccines actually protect children from the disease they're supposed to.
Doctors, don't know much about this, because they only attend seminars that are organized by the drug industry.
Most illnesses aren't as dangerous as they make them seem anyway, and even if they are, there's no guarantee you won't get them if you're vaccinated.
Breastfed babies, are immunized naturally, with mothers' antibodies.

Parents are not alone in their concern for vaccine safety. However there is much false information "out there" about vaccines. There is NO scientific proof of a causal link between vaccines and autism. There are uncommon adverse reactions to various vaccines. The risk to benefit ratio is very much tilted toward the benefit.
Statements to the effect that there is no evidence to support vaccine efficacy in prevention of diseases is pure nonsense. Look at polio, measles and smallpox.
Shaken baby syndrome is linked to immature parents (or boyfriends who are not the baby's father), not to vaccines.

I feel vaccines are to blame for many auto-immune diseases, neurological disorders, and other chronic health issues. I have read many studies on the relations to SIDS and SBS, cannot really say if I firmly believe there is a relation or not, but do believe it is entirely possible.
I have chosen not to vaccinate my children and am very comfortable with that decision. My eldest is partially vaccinated, I wish I could go back in time and change that. But my youngest is healthy and vaccine free. I simply cannot reconcile injecting my children with potentially harmful substances such as aluminum, formaldehyde, paint thinner, coolant, anti-freeze, phenols, and many other toxic ingredients. And the fact that they do not test vaccines for carcinogenic or mutagenic properties, or effect on fertility worries me even more.
There is no conclusive evidence that vaccines caused the decline of the diseases they are for. In fact most of the diseases decreases by as much as 90% before vaccines were even introduced. Improved sanitation and decrease in crowding could have been the great contributing factor in the decline.
Also, after researching the diseases themselves, I realized how much the media and the medical communtiy have hyped them up. For example, Polio is 95% asymptomatic, 2% is paralytic polio, and the rest simply have flu like symptoms. Another example, measles was a common childhood illness that the majority of the population conytracted before their teenage years, and recovered perfectly healthy.
I am very comfortable with my decision not to vaccinate and feel that my children are healthier than most because they have an immune system that is untampered with.

They are still researching it as I have saw various interviews on the subject as well. It is supposed to be the mercury in the vaccines that can cause autism and there are only a couple of vaccines with mercury still in them.

To you people who choose not to vaccinate your children, the only reason your children do not get these life threatening vaccines is that we vaccinate our children and therefore there is less exposure to these life threatening diseases. I have treated babies with whooping cough and if you ever have care for a child with measles enchephalitis which has a 100% fatality rate you would gladly vaccinate. Immunisation has shown to be the greatest public health treatment ever developed. Just walk through a historical cemetery and see whole families that have persihed to diptheria and typhoid. I accept you have your reasons, but at least if you immunise at the age of 2 yo it is better late than never. Most people that choose this option do not go ahead with it as the older the child is the more traumatic it is for him/her. At least if you do this your are still contributing to the community. yes my children are fully immunised and are healthy. Good luck.

Vaccines CANNOT be related to SBS...someone else literally shakes the baby.
Could someone though tell us exactly how it says a vaccine is to blame for someone else shaking a baby? THAT boggles my mind!

Let's see, SIDS is tied to the baby being unable to clear their heads from a little pocket of air that forms around their mouth. They breath and re-breath the carbon dioxide until they pass out and die. There is a speculation that there is a neural tube congenital defect in some of those babies that leads their brain to not realize they need to move to keep breathing.
Shaken Baby Syndrome is when someone literally shakes the baby until it sustains injuries and even death.
So, no, neither SIDS or SBS could possibly be related in any sort of causal fashion to vaccinations.
