Child immunizations are the law, people found withholding them can be charged with child abuse, I have a child and know a whole lot of people that have children that have not been affected by immunizations….if in doubt talk to your pediatrician and if they like get a second opinion, don’t go off and risk a child unnecessarily.

You would have to obtain legal counsel to get around this and prove that your child is not a threat to others by not having the required immunizations

You are so transparent and extremely lonely, are you not???

Sorry, but there is no proved link between immunizations and autism. The ‘evidence’ produced could never be confirmed, either by the doctor who originally claimed it or any other doctor. It is rumor. What the child can get without immunizations is proved. It is scare mongering like this that has allowed the resurgence of some childhood diseases that were almost eradicated.

i’m very sorry to hear about your nephew. however, until there is much more credible research done to prove (which is hasn’t yet) that immunizations can cause autism or other major health problems, immunizations are our very best chance at keeping our children from suffering or dying needlessly when it comes to certain diseases. not to sound uncaring, but at this point, the benefits far outweigh the vague possibility of risks. parents should listen to their childrens’ doctors on this matter.

WHICH immunizations are you referring to? ALL of them? That’s silly. There are a lot of childhood diseases that need to be immunized against…..would you really want to subject your kid to the dangers of, say, mumps or measles or worse when you know the threat can be eliminated with a simple shot? I agree that the government shouldn’t step in and require shots, though…..that should be left up to the parents and their paid medical professionals. I think Larry has a few good paid medical professionals to take care of that precious baby.

immunizations are not soley responsible for autism. there has to be a “connection”, meaning genetics play a role in how a child will respond to vaccines.

if parents are worried about vaccines and their children, the scientists need to rule out genetic predisposition to autism-anotherwords, a child needs to have genetic testing to see if they are more succeptable to acquiring autism.

the scientists have to isolate the genetics before they can accurately do the correct testing.

the vaccines and the ingriedents only pose as a threat to certain children-until they find the puzzle pieces (genetics more succeptable thereof,) no child is safe.

just with certain dogs-ie, pitbulls for instance-they show no disposition issues until after certain vaccinations are given. so certain genetics this dog may have, may make them more succeptable to aggressive behaviour-it’s almost as if they had bi-polar illness, which is in danger itself.

unfortunately, most typical americans and people have no idea of the connections- and this isn’t the only issue regarding vaccines. vaccines set the role for much later issues like ADD/ADHD, cancers, depression (which can be the first sign of addiction!) and the actual virus vaccines are supposed to protect a person from. We see skin rashes of all kinds that are not really “controlled” by medicine, kidney disease as well as many others like chronic mono, CIDP (all forms of guillian barre)….the list is endless.

Not every child will be born with or eventually be diagnosed with any form of autism, but it could be something worse like luekemia, lung disease (asthma) ect….

Vaccines for the most part are keeping us from the harm of diseases like polio, measles ect, but down the road we do know that sooner or later many will come down with diseases that may have “branched off” from the vaccine….

I think the medical field is much more advanced to find “cures” to treat these diseases instead of giving vaccines that overload the bodies defense mechanisms-which can leave a child more succeptable to other diseases while antibodies against a certain disease are being fought by the body.

Regardless, vaccines do prevent illnesses-BUT they also create an entire new issue and that is diseases that have no cure-ie, cancer, cipd ect.
