A.M.
I have read EXTENSIVE information regarding vaccines and autism. You will find that people are very passionate no matter what their position on the subject. Personally, I have decided to not vaccinate my youngest daughter- at least not until she's older, if at all. You should read Jenny McCarthy's book "Louder than Words". It has a lot of information and is very honest in it's telling of her experience. There's also a book called "A Shot in the Dark" (I can't remember the author's name and I've gave it to a friend) that is amazing as well. The bookstore has many books on the subject. Start googling topics and you will an overwhelming amount of information. The best advice I have, is BE INFORMED! Don't do anything that you are not 100% comfortable with!!!!! I will warn you that Dr's are not always very open to mother's input. I had to change pediatricians after deciding not to vaccinate my daughter and MANY Dr's and nurses can be downright rude......but this is your child's health!!!! And when you start looking deeper into the research that says that these vaccines are safe, most of the studies are funded by the pharmacudical companies that produce the drugs. They don't know what's causing the alarming rise in autism and until they do, I won't take any chances. I vaccinated my oldest daughter, and 4 of the vaccines she was given have been pulled from the market! SCARY!!!! Just this week there was a couple on Larry King who won a court against the government saying that vaccines were responsible for their daughter's autism. Like I said, be informed and trust your gut. Don't let anyone push you into a decision you are not 100% comfortable with!!!!!! Good luck :)
