I'll probably catch it for this, but oh for the days where childhood diseases were caught as children and inparted better immunity.

Then again, I have a cousin who was "normal" before catching measles as a toddler, but the disease left her mentally retarded. I also had a classmate who was in braces due to polio.

And I have a nephew who was severely brain damaged by his DPT shot.

Some children should NOT be vaccinated.

There are some diseases that need to be immunized against because they are not the normal childhood type diseases, tetanus and polio are two good examples.

Vaccines aren't without their complications either. Kids have bad reactions from them, too, and there's supposed to be the autism link. If that's the case, which is worse then? Mentally retarded or autistic?
