Do you think that "Big Pharma" has indoctrinated her? Of course not, it's because when you're actually face death for your children from preventable diseases, you have a lot different perspective than posting from your mom's basement in the UK.

I'm not trying to defend WHP, but since you mentioned Africa I wanted to point out that not all countries get the same vaccines. Some require more, some less, and some at different ages. There are variables that for whatever reason get ignored by studies.
It goes without saying that in some cases you absolutely must get vaccinated against some things, especially in regions of the world where your baby will flat out die if you don't. Yellow fever, malaria, hepatitis, and so on. Some you simply must have, no matter the risks involved.
