I always manage to make some snide remark to parents when I treat their unimmunized kids. Yesterday, I was sewing up a kids head laceration and when I discharged them, I said "I hope he can open his mouth tomorrow". Not all that clever, and I'm sure it went over her head, but it makes me feel better. |

I'm with you too. Our daughter was born 10 weeks premature, and vaccinations were a must for me. I never thought twice about it.

We have immunized our kids...but I also believe that there are chances that autism can be triggered by some of the vaccinations. With that said, that percentage is obviously very small and the greater good of vaccines outweighs the small percentage of 'side effects.'

The reason this autism link is even being considered (that's a fairly generous term), is that we are much more aware of autism (and Asperger's and the like) than we ever have been before. We give more vaccinations than ever before and therefore it's a convenient link to draw (and it allows us to ignore the increasing prevalence of TV, video games, etc). |
