Sorry, but what is the "real issues" by your definition? What is the chances of a young child getting Hep B if neither of their parents are infected? Do they use shared needles? Engage in sex? - I certainly hope not. I'm sorry, but the type of person who would make a comment like this, is the type of person that hasn't had to deal with the consequences directly. A friend of a friend, or I've seen in my work doesn't count.
My daughter has autism. Do you know how much "real" research there is about autism? Not much! Most of it is antidotal - because someone has to pay for research and sadly it's normally only those with a vested financial interest who do - hence the reason why there's lots of research on the benefits of immunisation and not much on the benefits of not being immunised. Educated decision making doesn't ignore the fact that sanctioned research comes from a bias, it looks at the whole picture; it looks at and considers the patterns and experiences of the whole and what might not be publicly acknowledged - diethylstilbestrol was given to women and was "safe" for years before people couldn't ignore all the kids without arms or legs anymore too. While there might not be a lot of sanction research on autism, I can tell you this, there is LOTS of antidotal evidence (from multiple sources) that autism is possibly a microscopic yeast infection of the brain. This has been shown by how dramatically an autistic child's behaviour can change after being put on a yeast-free non-yeast-feeding diet. While there has been research regarding the gluten/casin free diet and autism, it showed it was only mildly beneficial to some kids. Seeing the gluten and casin peptides are only issues because of leaky gut (which is caused by yeast overgrowth), I'm not surprised it only had mild effect because it was treating a symptom not the cause. This is something I have seen personally, not only in my child, but it my friends children who have gone on to do similar diets after seeing the change in my DD. Yeast imbalances for certain people (especially those who are A blood types) can be potent and damaging. Guess what the Hep B vaccination is made on...? You guest it, yeast, injected directly into the blood stream before they're even a day old and have developed an immune system -awesome! A decision I made in ignorance that I now must fix through hard work, but it is fixing (they are considering taking my daughter off the spectrum her improvement has been that huge). It's easy to sing the praises of an immunisation like Hep B (which a baby has a ridiculously low chance of getting) if you don't have to deal with any other fall-out consequences. If it was your child that wouldn't look at you, if it was your child that you had to physically restrain to stop them hurting you, themselves or other people, if it was your child that got stuck in a loop like a skipped record and couldn't break themselves out, I'd guarantee you wouldn't be so quick to jab your kids with certain immunisations and judge others for not doing so either, because then it would be a "real issue" for you too.
