Measles is back and its cause of those parents who think that vaccinations are wrong!
Ok, so I'm 'kinda' against NOT vaccinating kids. A lot of people have this fear that kids will become autistic through vaccinations.
"Fifteen children under 20, including four babies, have been hospitalized and 131 sickened by the red splotches since the beginning of this year" according to the CDC.
This disease was eliminated in the year 2000. However, because of that previously mentioned fear of autism, ITS BACK. There are no conclusive studies on whether or not you get autism -- there are doctors who believe this to be untrue, and there are professionals who believe it to be true. But.. BUT... UN-VACCINATED KIDS GET SICK. This is fact...so... umm... vaccinate!

I think it really depends on the vaccine. While there is no conclusive proof that the thimerosal preservative in some vaccines given to children causes autism, It was, atleast at one time made from Mercury. Just like the amalgam fillings that dentists use. No matter what anyone might think, I'm fairly certain mercury is not good for the body, especially a childs body. The cellphone/brain cancer debate is similar. No one can be certain if there will someday in the near future be a massive rise in brain cancer rates.
One thing is a fact, autism is on the rise and something is causing it. I think it's something in the neighborhood or 1 in 5 children are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. My sister thinks that they just didn't diagnose alot of cases in years past... while this may be true, consider this... There is a virtually indetectable level of autism or mental retardation among the Amish communities across the United States, and they are all closely related so there is probably some kind of in-breeding on occasion!
