Total BS. It’s a much more serious issue not getting ones child vaccinated. Please provide real peer reviewed research that says otherwise. All studies thus far have found no connection.

I was born in Russia and here is what my mom told me. I was a perfect child before my baby vaccinations began. After a required vaccination round, I became very nervous and was always crying. Myself, I remember my non-stop crying for any reason whatsoever until age 12 or so.

As a grown up and an MD by education, I avoid any type of vaccines, as well as any type of medications, if I can help it.

Instead, I practice yoga, watch what I eat and do a lot of physical work, it works for me.

Personally, I don’t believe autism is caused by vaccines. However, I do believe it’s possible something in the vaccines may trigger the onset of autism in someone predisposed to it. I still don’t think the benefits offered by vaccines are outweighed by the risks. There’s a great debate about vaccines and autism at http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/are-autism-and-vaccines-linked Several experts from both sides debate the issue and make some interesting points.

I totally agree that families whose children have become autistic after shots should be compensated because we are all forced to give our children these shots or else they cannot attend neither daycare nor school. And I have said for years that there is something in either our food or water sources causing these children to be so hyperactive. Look at young children when you are out; 99% of them are extremely hyper and are having to receive medications for parents to be able to control them. Now they say they are finding medications in our water!!! Imagine that.

As a parent, and a parent of a child who has severe delays (severe, for the statistician/scientists among you, being more that two standard deviations away from the mean)even though I have read all the research and my brain feels that there isn’t any evidence of a link, my heart wonders.

I honestly feel that i did the right thing to try and protect my children’s health by vaccinating them. I don’t regret my decisions. But watching CJ’s (my son’s) progression from a seemingly advanced little boy at 10 months to one who wouldn’t (or couldn’t) talk almost at all at 2 years old (he is 3 1/2 now) made me rethink and reexamine a whole lot of things I never thought I would.

With significant amounts of speech therapy CJ is turning things around and he hasn’t been diagnosed as autistic (in general, those diagnoses are not made until a little older than he is now, and I am hopeful it won’t come to that).

But still, the heart, it wonders.
