Has anybody decided not to vaccinate their child or to only selectively vaccinate them?

And if so, how did you come to that decision. Ds has not had any vaccinations as yet, but once he goes to nursery I think it may become more important. Even then though we do not want him to have the whole lot as we think it's too much for the system to absorb, but it is very difficult to know which ones are more important and also better tolerated by the body. We would also go for mercury free vaccinations which my gp told me were available. I want to know, if they are available, why aren't they offered as a matter of routine - expense presumably.
The whole thing is a minefield because it seems to be very difficult to get a balanced viewpoint of the whole issue with the pro people being very pro and the contra people being very against.
Any thoughts appreciated but no lecturing please.

Not well versed enough to give you one off the top of my head, I'm afraid.

and if anyone wants to combine the 2 this link from visceral does just that. Interesting from my pov (only read it yesterday) as it combines a TH2 skewed immune system, being further skewed by thimerosil, and then hit with a live virus. Which is what I thought happened to ds1 of course.
