The decision to vaccinate or not is a personal choice. I would hope that most parents put the time and effort into researching the pros and cons.

We both know that msot parents do not put effort into researching their roles.

Most parents follow the herd, Moooo!

It might be stupid when you consider the risks of the other diseases that the vaccine gives you.

If one person out of 10,000 get cervical cancer, but yet 1 out of a 100 who get the vaccine WILL get some other disease, then you look at the math. Perhaps it is stupid.

Why not, let people evaluate, and decide: "Are you at risk for cervical cancer?"

"Does that level of added risk make it worth this additional risk?"

... I honestly haven't done any research on that particular vaccine but they all go through pretty rigorous tests and *usually* vaccines are out in other countries for years before they come here, so my faith would be that the vaccine is fairly safe.

Yeah they did real well with the Gulf-War vaccines didn't they?


Why not wait 10 years, and see what law suits come out from this new vaccine?

I believe the immunizations should wait until the infants brain is more developed say age 4 or 5. The CDC and the AMA have finally admitted that children who may be predisposed to an autism like disorder can be impacted negativly by immunizations. In other words the immunization will act as the trigger to exasperate a condition. I tell all of my friends never more than 1 shot at a time never more than 1 per week. Never before 3 years old.

Please share your son's story with us. Are there any other family members w/ autism ?

Numerous journals have proven that MMR doesn't cause autism... It doesn't matter, people will believe what they will... Autism was here before MMR and it will be here after MMR...

It would be nice to know, what causes autism.
