My husband and I have chosen not to vaccinate our children. I've tried to research and be open to both sides. I think ultimately, after you've really tried to educate yourself, it comes down to your gut feeling. Who knows, maybe for some people it's better to get the vaccines.
Some really great books and links that have awsome refferences are:
Pro Immunizations done in a specific way
"What your doctor might not tell you about child hood immunizations"
this is written by a pediatrician
Against Immunizations
"Immunizations, and they really safe and effective?"
this is written by a researcher
Against
"How to raise a healthy child in spite of your doctor"
this is written by an M.D.
Both sides
A great link is
National Vaccine Information Center
National vaccine information center
I hope some of this information helps... we all want the best for our children, and our children don't all need the same thing.

p.s. One article I read that specifically addressed SIDs and the DPT mentioned that in Japan they found a direct correlation, and they postponed the shot until after the children were 2, and SIDS virtually disapeared. This was found in "Immunizations are they really safe and effective".
