Aside from children with compromised health to begin with, why would any healthy child be as risk? What risks are you speaking of?
Children who have an unknown, underlying genetic predisposition for developing autism.

Yes, like putting your children in harms way because of some abstract fear. The real risk for the child who is not vaccinated is having a parent who is phonic, over reactionary, and anxiety prone. Unless you live in the sticks, I can't imagine never coming into contact with people from other countries who may be carrying some disease that we have vaccines for.
Phonic? over-reactionary and anxiety -prone? Lol! I think you are projecting your anxieties and fears onto others.

Yes, so that makes them a paranoid, and phobic parent and a very poor citizen and example to their children. Those are the kind of people who expect OTHERS to protect their child through herd immunity, all the while spreading and carrying diseases. How thoughtful of them.
Your opinion.

Unless you have a religious issue with vaccines, an allergy of some sort, or you have medical issues and it would harm you, I just don't see the rational. You can spread the vaccines out, you don't have to get the 3 in one doses. But not doing it at all makes me question a persons mental health.
Not that I think there is anything wrong with someone who has made the decision to forgo vaccinations all together because that is their decision to make but did you not see my post where I mentioned that we have selectively vaccinated?
Again: I rather my child develop autism or some other disorder then for them to die of something that could have been prevented.
That is your right and responsibility as a parent to do what you feel is in the best interest of your child. Another parent may choose a different path.

Well most genetic defects come out at a pretty young age. Usually before they are even born.

I really don't have anxiety or fears over catching something from vaccines or from people. My kids are vaccinated and hopefully they will work. I live in a very populated area with many people from various countries. If I was worried, I would have ran off to the boonies for isolation. I just can't understand why fear is a valid reason for not vaccinating your kids.
I know a few families who believe that their child's autism was triggered by vaccination. I don't think that all cases are related to vaccination but I think it's possible that some are.
LOTS of people THINK their child's autism is related to vaccination...
Problem is there isn't a single shred of evidence to prove it and EVERY study to date has shown NO CORRELATION....NONE
Based on the available scientific data, your statement that you still believe it is possible that vaccination leads to some cases of autism is no different than me saying that I think its possible that Cherry KoolAid is responsible for some cases of autism...
Both statements have equal backing from available scientific evidence....
This study focuses strictly on thimerosal and ignores every other ingredient in vaccinations.
Ummm....noooo
Unless you are shooting babies up with pure thimerosal than the infants were STILL getting all those other nasty vaccine ingredients and they STILL weren't developing autism at a higher rate than controls....
They also know how to blame anything other than a defective gene pool.
Agreed, It is not Vaccine companies fault that there child has a defective gene. Most parents should know there family background and if anything like this has happened in their family. Nothing but genes is to blame.

Not necessarily the case. Gene mutations can happen prior to birth or after birth. If there is a genetic factor involved it does not necessarily mean that it has been in the family for generations.
