There was an article not too long ago that urged parents to trust their own instincts about their kids a little more instead of giving into doctors' opinions right away. I can't find the link, though.
If I recall that article also said to take the doctor's opinions into account, as they do know more. To refuse to vaccinate and put other people's kids at risk is foolish, and I doubt those people took the doctors studies into account.

Vaccinations are not something that doctors change their mind about, more experience or not.
