I watched the Oprah show on 'Autism' yesterday & I'm wondering what some of you think.
Thanks for all answers:)

i have 4 children, all vaccinated! one has aspergers, mild autism, but we saw signs of this right when she was born so i doubt the vaccines had anything to do with it.
none of my kids have had any side effects from shots, not even fevers.
IF something were to happen to my child i would rather it was because i was protecting them rather than neglecting them.
it is like using a car seat, if they die in the accident anyway at least i know i did what i could to protect them, and i don't have to beat myself up forever feeling guitly for not protecting them.

It hasn't reignited any medical debate. that communicate is long settled - the MMR does no longer reason autism. Courtrooms are no longer medical and the burden of data for an award is a lot decrease. whether we've been to make a huge deal approximately courtroom rulings, different rulings have chanced on the MMR would not reason autism. Are they magically old by this new one? No, they do no longer look to be. perhaps the mainstream media has grown clever touching directly to their vaccine-autism assurance? His advice of a conspiracy is laughable, thinking the undesirable prognosis and contribution to concern-mongering that grow to be accomplished for the time of the top of the wide-unfold public debate.

Autism is near identical to the symptoms of mercury and aluminum poisoning(and the evidence is the amount in hair, way over the limit in autistic children). Boys are more likely to develop autism because of a sulfur based protein called gluthatione antioxidant that acts like a natural chelator(able to flush out the mercury or metals). Testosterone suppresses it and estrogen enhances it. So mercury is removed for the most part, what about aluminum, which is also a potent neurotoxin second to thimerosal in its use in vaccines?
I fully believe autism and other neurological disorders are from vaccines. Child is well and normal, child gets autism some time after getting vaccinated. If that isn't evidence, I don't know what is. There is no thing as a genetic epidemic when 1 in 150 children have autism that coincides with a 260% increase in vaccination.
Vaccines are one of the most toxic concoctions you can put in your body. Mercury, aluminum, heavy metals, lead, dyes, disinfectants, antifreeze, carcinogens, and mutagens with millions of the virus are some of the things that go into vaccines. Such a toxic and neurotoxic venom I think to be impossible to use in such large amounts without causing damage.
No direct studies confirming a link? That is complete bullsh--. Underfunded, little studies? There has never been tests between unvaccinated and unvaccinated children. And guess what? The scientists and researchers are owned by the medical community and industry, not independent researchers. Their "conclusion" is to simply debunk any rising suspicion. Health officials know it, and they keep their records secret. Why did you think suddenly thimerosal was called to be phased out if it really posed absolutely no harm? And their conclusion came up pretty quick, don't you think? Extensive meaningful studies carry on for years.

Well I believe there is no relation to the MMR and Autism because after removing the chemical thought to be the cause of autism in the MMR the clinical studies still showed that rate was increasing for children and autism. I really truly believe there is no link. The proof is just not there.

Not one study has made a scientific link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Not one, not ever. The people who maintain this fiction only feed the anti-vaccine hysteria and end up with children who get sick and die from measles, mumps and rubella.
Ever wonder why four times as many boys as girls get autism, when both genders get vaccines at the same time? A child could reason out that there is no link. I'm sorry, but autistic parents seem to want to know a reason, and they grasp at unproven theories. I'm sorry for them, but in the long run they cause more harm than good if they cause people not to vaccinate their children.
They don't know exactly what causes autism. Recent studies suggest it could be the age of the father and autism is rising because men are having children later. A new study talks about how it could having something to do with testosterone levels in utero, thus explaining why boys get it so much more often.
Get your children vaccinated. Please, please don't believe the hysterical anti-vaccine crowd. Their logic, reasoning and conclusions are based on bad pseudo-science, and their children are paying the price.

I dont trust vaccines. I spent two weeks in a hospital as a five year old dying of bacterial meningitis from the old live culture HIB vaccines.
The stabilizers in all in one vaccines is mercury. Its the mercury theyre almost certain causes the autism. However, all studies discredit the connection between vaccines and autism. BUT just two years ago drug companies voluntarily starting switching from mercury to non-metallic stabilizers. That alone says a lot.
You can opt for single dose vaccines instead of all in ones, and ones without mercury. Talk to your doctor about it.
I actually have my son get ONE vaccine at a time, with a week in between each one. It works great for us, plus its easier on his body and I would know which one caused a reaction should he ever get one.

As a mother of a child with autism, I'm really tired of all the debate and arguing if there is or isn't a link.
I just wish they would find a cure!

Protecting my children against a potentially deadly disease is more important than the possible side-effects.
*Musicpanther - I beg your pardon, but I am not "wrong". I simply differ from your point of view. You can't make assumptions about me or my childrens' lives based on one sentence. How do you know that I haven't had a child die? You don't. Maybe I've gone through the exact same thing that you have but STILL believe in vaccines. Like Havanah said, I'd rather know that I did my part to protect them than to always beat myself up wondering if I had made the right choice. That's why its called "a difference of opinion." It doesn't make me or you "wrong". It just makes us different.

MMR isn't the only possible culprit; the big one is the HIB they give at birth.
My daughter has a PDD, and if a class action suit gets going, we will get on board.
Check out all Robert Kennedy Jr. has to say on the subject.

I don't really know, but anyone who says it's worth the possible side effects is wrong. My son died when he was 3 months old right after he had his shots. They said it was SIDS but everyone tells me that SIDS can be a side effect of the shots. So..would I rather have my possilby sick or dead? I'd take the sick. It was horrible and if the shots caused it then they should damn well do something about it. I'd love to have my baby back, but I never will.
