Good point.
Going by the kind of posts he makes here, the kid is going to be more at risk from his dumb ignorance than a combination vaccine.

That's the thing. The facts don't belong to me or you and you're arguing against them. The wingnut paranoia informing you that I'm trying to tell you what to do with your kids, will also be driving your ignorance and stopping you educating yourself to their benefit.
Ah yes, the "facts" as you call them. Here is a listing of all vaccine ingredients.

I'm sure you'll note how they contain a lot more than just the "microbe", was that the word you used? Giving someone 100,000 of them at once (also the hyperbole you used) would do a lot more than just immunize.
This is why I don't listen to creatures like you, and I make my own decisions. Once again, my child is vaccinated. I just did it on my schedule, not the doctor's.
Fact is that, combined vaccine is still a tiny drop in the ocean when compared to the bombardment your brat's immune system ordinarily faces every day. You simply put it at some risk for longer by delaying between vaccines. Your choice, your paranoia, your conspiracy theory.

Back when those backward, old Christians were involved in the crusades, modern man was using intellect and scientific knowledge to help man evolve. For a couple of thousand years, scientists knew for a fact that draining the blood out of people would cure them of all manner of diseases.
"Bloodletting was used to treat almost every disease. One British medical text recommended bloodletting for acne, asthma, cancer, cholera, coma, convulsions, diabetes, epilepsy, gangrene, gout, herpes, indigestion, insanity, jaundice, leprosy, ophthalmia, plague, pneumonia, scurvy, smallpox, stroke, tetanus, tuberculosis, and for some one hundred other diseases. Bloodletting was even used to treat most forms of hemorrhaging such as nosebleed, excessive menstruation, or hemorrhoidal bleeding.
Today it is well established that bloodletting is not effective for most diseases. Indeed it is mostly harmful, since it can weaken the patient and facilitate infections."*

Frontal lobotomy as a "cure" for mental illness.
António Egas Moniz was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his role in perfecting the operation.
The icepick cure
...drive an icepick into his patients' brains near the top of their eye sockets. Once the pick was inside the brain, he would literally wiggle it around, cutting through the white and gray matter. It was not a precision surgery. Using a hammer and his pick, he boasted that he could do a lobotomy in 10 minutes and didn't even need anaesthesia (though usually he gave the patient shock treatment first, so they were unaware of what was happening).

"Until the 1800s, surgeons did not wash their hands before performing surgery. In fact, they didn't even wash their hands between treating patients, which means they often transmitted diseases from one patient to another.
A 19th-century doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that hand washing could dramatically reduce death rates." His theory was met with skepticism and even hostility by the medical community.
"...an American doctor, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., was advocating hand washing as a way to prevent childbed fever, but his ideas were met with disdain."
Dr. Semmelweis resigned his position, moved, and eventually died in an insane asylum. I guess you could say the scientific community wasn't very receptive to him.

Why wash hands? The microbes you get every day are far more numerous. You could have up to 100,000 hands touch you with no effect!!
