One other thing. You don't even know how to interpret that graph. It shows the DEATH rate, not the annual number of infections. Thats a function of the fact that we made HUGE strides in medicine during that 150 years. In fact US cases were estimated to be 4 MILLION a year until the vaccine.



With a fatality rate of 0.3% thats STILL 12000 deaths a year. Not to mention the cases of deafness, blindness, and Subacute Pansclerosing Encephalitis. And thats JUST THE MEASLES COMPONENT OF THE MMR.

Good points.

I am not opposed to vaccinations. I am opposed to giving them to infants vs. 4 year old Pre-Ks or 5 year old Kindergarteners. At these ages I believe the children are developed enough to handle the vaccines without the adverse effects seen in infants.

I’m not going to waste my time going into the Autism - vaccination link. There is much on the web for you to read for yourself including a recent study just pulled by it’s publisher btw, which directly links infant immunizations with autism.

1-in-68 brain damaged kids is not something a humane person would turn their back on or casually dismiss. What is it in our country that 3rd world, non-infant immunizing countries don’t have or do to their infants which accounts for the US’s 1500 per 100,000 ASD cases?
