My wife and I are afraid of the increasing probability of our daughter developing autism. The doctor said the chances are higher if they use a community bottle of vaccine versus single dose vials. We really want to do whats best.

Although I agree that "There is no scientific evidence to support the use of vaccines and the development of autism," I would rather err on the side of caution & make certain that the flu vaccine your daughter gets is the kind with no thimerisol. Thimerisol has already been removed from other kids' vaccines so you don't have to worry about those.

This is a big q for me as well. I think I will because my baby is a preemie and I think the risk of her getting sick from a flu is greater than the risk from the vaccine. Also Thimerisol (which was the preservative that had traces of mercury) is being eliminated in most vaccines. If you would like to read more about vaccines I highly reccomend The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. Its a good middle of the road book, as a ped he clearly favors vaacines but is willing to entertain the idea that some may be very harmful and objectively weights the pros and cons.

There is no scientific evidence to support the use of vaccines and the development of autism. Older vaccines and saline solutions used thimerisol (a mercury-based preservative) which could result in some mercury poisioning in small children who received frequent intravenous flushes.
Your child needs vaccines not only to protect her against the flu, especially if she is in daycare, where she is more likely to be exposed, but also to protect her against the more serious diseases of measles, mumps, rubella, etc. Also, by not protecting your child with vaccines, you make her a possible resevoire for infecting other people who may die (such as the elderly or other children)

Most definitely NOT.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at
http://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm
You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

I got it for my son around that age and he did great with it...never had more than a cold that year, and he's now a talkative, active, extremely intelligent 2 1/2 year old...
He didn't get the vaccine last year (our area had a big time shortage) and had the flu 2-3 times...
I'm not sure if it increases autism or not...I haven't heard that one before, but it my case, we had a good experience with it
Hope that helps!

Get all of the facts from your doctor.
Analyze the risks: preventing flu is easier than taking care of an autistic child...does your daughter have other health concerns that make it essential for her to have the vaccine? (Like asthma, heart trouble)
Take good care of her.

yes you should cause she could die if she gets the flu and it is very contages and would you want your daughter to die of the flu.
one of my friends has died from geting the flu and he did not get his flu vaccine. so it would be smart to get your daughter the vaccine
