The problem is that insufficient studies have been done on the interactions between adjuvants.
Have any studies on the interactions between the aduvants in one vaccine with the antigens in another vaccine given in the same shot or at the same time EVER been done? If great effort is expended to insure the right adjuvant gets delivered with the right antigen, it follows that the same amount of effort needs to be expended studying the unintended "cross-contamination" between adjuvant-adjuvant and adjuvant-antigen combos.
You know what the largest segment of new vaccine doubters is? Physicians. They're the ones who actually see the fallout from this great human guinea pig laboratory.
All of the above is from the W.H.O. in their talks on the fact that vaccines need new marketing. THEY are the ones lamenting the complete lack of studies.

So, you know drain cleaner A is safe. You know drain cleaner B is safe. Mix them together.

... studies designed to examine the long-term effects of
cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule have not been conducted.
... existing research has not been designed to test the entire immunization schedule
No studies have compared the difference in health outcomes... between entirely unimmunized populations of children and fully immunized children.
I'm not sure how the mechanism works, but my understanding is Chicken Pox is a weird disease where you actually want to get it as a kid, because as an adult it's much more serious.
Measles, though...measles has killed around 200 million people. That you only remember it as "mildly unpleasant" doesn't really matter. It is potentially fatal.
"Measles came to us from cows, a slight modification of the bovine rinderpest virus. Although now regarded as a relatively benign disease, measles devastated the Native Americans, who had never been exposed to it, and, along with smallpox, was a principle reason the invading Spaniards prevailed. It has been estimated that between 1840 and 1990, measles killed about 200 million people worldwide."

And if 2.6 million died in 1980 alone, try to guess how many have died over the last 200 years.
If I recall correctly, if you get no immunization and mumps you go sterile. Which is good if you don't want children.
