Sorry for introducing facts into the discussion
Have a look at the Yanks ....
According to the most recent National Vital Statistics Report, more than 26,000 American babies born alive in 2009 died before their first birthday, which gives the U.S. a very high infant mortality rate of six infant deaths per 1,000 live births. In 1960, America ranked 12th in infant mortality among all nations of the world. In 2005, we had fallen to number 30. Today in America, there are more premature babies than ever before and more full term babies die before their first birthday than in most European countries.
The most recent study (2011) looking and infant mortality and vaccination is perhaps the most disturbing. It finds that developed nations with the poorest infant mortality rates, like the U.S., tend to give their infants more vaccine doses before age one. To put this into perspective, doctors give American babies 26 vaccine doses before age one, which is twice as many vaccinations as are given babies in Sweden and Japan. Is it really just a "coincidence" that the infant mortality rate is twice as high in America as it is in Sweden and Japan?

Jack that is interesting but a far more accurate analysis needs to be done before blaming vaccinations for infant deaths.
You would need to do a huge cross-section encompassing people with almost the same standards of living, lifestyles, locations and numerous other things I can't think of at the moment which would affect their mortality, to even approach getting a comparison.
For example, how can you compare a child born in the middle of Manhattan, or the slums of Detroit to a child born in a cabin by a Swedish Lake or a child born on the slopes of mount Fuji?
