Hi Mamas! I am curious as to how many Moms vaccinate their children and how many don't. I am posting this with a poll. Feel free to reply with your reasons if you like.
My son is 5 yrs old and needs his 4 yr shots in order to be caught up for school. From what I understand at 4 yrs old the child gets the Most shots at a time...some containing mercury which is suspect in Autism.
Im on the fence...I'm not sure about this and would like some advice of other Moms. This is not intended for debate...only to get feedback.
Thanks Mamas!

There haven't been any unbiased scientific studies done to "prove" that the shots aren't linked to autism...they simple say it doesn't. Also, there have been many cases WON by parents in the Vaccine Injury court who's children fell on the autism spectrum or had a nuerological disorder due to vaccines.
And as far as 'deadly' diseases...the worst statistic is - 5% of people who are Hep B positive die of liver disease 15-30 years after being diagnosed.(note: 95% of people that are diagnosed are persons with "High risk behaviors" NOT infants and children)
The chance of your child becoming autistic, developing luekemia, lymphoma, nuerological disorters, or autoimmune disorders is MUCH greater.
(I would be happy to provide all the information and statistics for the 'diseases' for anyone who is interested.)
Quoting hailnbray:
my daughter has autism and i can tell u its not from the shots. u can tell from birth she was different. they have discovered the gene that is linked to autism so u may want to research the gene and see if that runs in ur family. they have proven its not linked to the shots, also i would chance a child with autism over a deadly desease any day
