NJ is NOTORIOUS for pushing vaccine's. Years ago we rejected a pneumonia shot for a baby. It was unnecessary. She never got pneumonia. A problem with these vaccines is that they aren't WEAK. They are STRONG. It's no longer a watered down shot to put the body through a mock fire drill. Many believe in NJ with the HIGH rate of Autism is due to unnecessary vaccines. One in 94 births here is Autistic.

While I totally agree with you that these vaccines are strong and many vaccines are unnecessary, the stat you quote is dependent upon the wide interpretation of the diagnosis of autistic, which is highly suspect due to the amount of federal monies and grants involved for school districts across the nation.

I see your point. There are always those that will exploit the government for $$$ but I must say it is HIGHER in NJ than elsewhere.

Excellent post.

Autism includes a wide, very wide, spectrum now. Similar to ADD and ADHD that has been misdiagnosed and over diagnosed.
