What is your initial answer when asked ...

why do you not/delay/selective vax?

We have decided to selectively vax and I am trying to put together in my mind a simple quick answer to all the naysaying I know is coming my way. So, I am wondering what everyone's initial answer is when asked (challenged?) about their vax decision.

It depends on who is asking.
A doctor, ER, school.."Its against our religion".
Family members, friends, etc. "The risk outweighs the benefits".

I explain my beef with the specific vaxes we don't get (or delay).

Chickenpox vaccine is causing an increase in shingles and mass vaccination is a bad idea...
Prevnar causes an increase in staph, and shows no net benefit on a population level...
HepB and Hep A are simply unnecessary for babies and little kids...

Stuff like that.
