I don't have any helpful links. I would put this 'debate' into paranoia.
The principles of vaccination are sound. See "polio" and "smallpox". Your child gets shots and then your child doesn't get infectious diseases.
I had a flu shots about 2 months ago and I had a mumps/measles/rubella booster because of a local outbreak last week.
I can understand how someone could have the "I don't want no poison or sickness in my baby" perspective. I can also understand biology and immunology. When we have children, they will be fully vaccinated.
If someone is concerned about the minute-amounts-of-mercury-proven-to-not-be-harmful, you can pay extra to get a mercury free version. Just be aware that there is also 'poison aluminum' in the shots as well, although aluminum is also found in tinfoil hats.
I've seen otherwise intelligent people completely shut down their ability to reason, research, and think critically when it comes to inoculations.
