I talked to some hippie friends that did not vaccinate their children yet. I was wondering why they wouldn't do it.

I was surprised that they did not mention autism as a reason but they were concerned about aluminum in vaccines. As they are vegetarians and live very nature-close, they did not like the idea of pumping tiny amounts of aluminum into their children.

What do you guys think? Is it toxic? Is there any good research on whether adjuvants like aluminum could have a negative impact on vaccinated children?
