The official vaccine schedule is designed for the population at large, not the individual. It is designed with the most incompetent, neglectful parents in mind at the cost of risking the health and lives of kids with good parents. To bureaucrats, it's worth to vaccine injure some kids to protect the 10% that are actually at risk and need the extra handholding. It's just numbers, and to sociopaths the only thing that matters is that the number in column A is bigger than column B. But these are OUR kids, and risking their health and even their lives over something that doesn't benefit them is just bad parenting.

What good parent would willingly risk their child's health unnecessarily? Because that's what it is. The vaccine schedule as it stands is designed with the lowest common denominator in mind. Do you know why they force kids to take multiple shots at the same time, making it impossible for you to find out which vaccine your kid was allergic to. The answer is simple, because there are parents who can't take time off work to go get their kids shot, so they design a system that gets those parents' kids the best chance by maximizing each visit. Do you know why you have to take so many shots during the first few months of the child's life? Again, because there are parents who can't afford to have a stay-at-home parent or sitter and are forced to send their kids to daycare after 2-3 months, where you DO need those shots. Do you know why they require all kids to get a HepB vaccine at birth? Something that can only be transmitted via blood or semen? You guessed it, because 25,000 kids are born to HepB parents every year, and we can't trust bad parents not to infect their kids, so instead of just vaccinating the 25,000 kids at risk, they tell 3,606,400 kids every year to get that shot at birth.

The bottom line is if you are working class, where your kids are going to daycare right out of the womb, where you are so busy you can only do 1 pediatrician visit every few months, or if it's a high risk situation...then yeah, you should probably go ahead and stick to the original vaccine schedule...the one size fits all solution is designed exactly for parents like you. BUT, if you have a stay-at-home parent or grandparent, where your kid isn't going to daycare until they are older, where you live in the suburbs, where your kid has access to good organic food and clean water...then maybe, just maybe, a delayed vaccine schedule makes more sense for you. Make no mistake, it is more work, but what good parent wouldn't go the extra mile to minimize the potential health risks to their kid? And yes, pretty much all vaccines carry risk; if they didn't, vaccine manufacturers wouldn't have worked so hard to get laws passed to give them immunity from vaccine injury lawsuits.

A delayed vaccine schedule has many benefits. It gives your kid a chance to develop their immune system better; it doesn't overwhelm babies straight out of the womb with multiple shots at once, and if there are any side effects, you'll know exactly what caused any reaction; and most importantly, older kids can tell you when something is wrong. It also skips shots that frankly aren't necessary for 99% of the households.

Unfortunately, finding a delayed vaccine schedule friendly pediatrician can be extremely hard (apparently pediatrician Hippocratic oath doesn't apply to vaccine heretics), luckily we've developed a list of delayed vaccine schedule friendly doctors who understand that withholding medical care from children over their vaccine status is the definition of evil.

With your help, we can legally require all doctors to treat ALL children regardless of their vaccination status.
