I just feel that something is amuck. Call it a conspiracy theory.
There's a great article here: (2nd article; The Age of Autism: 'A pretty big secret') http://biostate.blogspot.com/2005/12/no-vaccines-no-autism-noted-among.h...
from an IL doctor that shares his opinion and experience in his practice. Give it a read.
He compares the US Rate of Autism (Now 1 in 150) to his clients (0 rate) and the Amish(0 rate of Autism) and contributes the #s to no vaccines. It's pretty eye-opening.
Also, I wanted to share something with fellow IL's. The State mandates that all children must be given Hep B if they deliver in a hospital. (Hep B is a sexually transmitted disease. Not sure who passed this.) You can get around this if you ho home birth. I'm kind of pissed that I did not know this for my first child.
And one comment on the mercury comment above about it being outlawed. That is actually not true in IL. That does not start until Aug 31, 2008 (few days still.) and our governer has a clause to extend this if needed.
My intent is not to scare anyone. The topic itself is scary as hell.
