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?
There is no scientific evidence that autism is secondary to vaccines.
Have you ever wondered if diet soda causes obesity? I notice that overweight folks prefer diet drinks therefore there must be a link.
We have to be careful what conclusions we draw.
Do 1 in 1000 kids who are vaccinated die, as was the case with measles?
If that's the case, which is worse then? Mentally retarded or autistic?
Has the autism link been proven? How much actual evidence is there for it? And what's the incidence rate?
