"On the autism front, there is an alarming rise in the doagnosis of autism, and it does tend to be diagnosed around the same time as your child is vaccinated, but as far as I can tell, that's the only link."

I took the time to actually quote this and re-post it, because people need to see it. People who talk about vaccinations hurting their children and that it's linked to autism really need to do a bit more research before going off the handle. I've ran into many parents that are all bent out of shape about this issue and hit me with a wave of negativity when I talk about vaccinating my children.

I am an EMT and my wife a Registered Nurse. We make a living working in the medical field, and we have yet to come across a doctor that says "Don't immunize your children, it causes autism." People jump on the fear bandwagon when it comes down to something dealing with their kids. Fear takes over and drives them to make wild assumptions, instead of getting cold hard facts.
