I'm not minimizing anything. The fact that these children "horrify" you should be some concern to you. Despite the obvious limitations of my brother, he never horrified me.
BTW, most chidren who die of things like cancer, leukemia, diabetes, and other diseases are born perfectly normal. That doesn't mean that something external caused their illness.
Perhaps not, but there is no other plausible explanantion for autism at this time. I didn't intend to try and prove an autism/vaccine link on this thread.. this is really an issue of parents rights vs. government control of children.
BTW, comments at the end of post #235 were out of line, even 'whacked' - Please disregard them - good day..
