yes, there has been a big argument over just your point, whether certain vaccinations may lead to autism
i do not know enough to answer that question but it has been raised several times ...such as by parents objecting to state-forced shots being put into their children
I think there is too big a rush to get shots in kids and yea some will be harmed. The push is for getting kids ready for Pre-K and minimal days missed. IOW Funding Driven.
I saw something last month that reminded me of what shots can do. We took my wife's dog for her annual shots including the Three in One. As with last years shots this year the dog got deathly sick. The Vet was still reluctant to place any connection to the shots. Next year the shots get spaced considerably apart or we find another Vet.
That said about shots I take allergy shots on a regular basis for pollens, mold, etc. They do help but I also have to sit there 20 minutes afterward just in case i go into shock.
