After a close review of more than 1,000 research studies, a federal panel of experts has concluded that vaccines cause very few side effects, and found no evidence that vaccines cause autism or type 1 diabetes.
The report, issued on Thursday by the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies of Sciences, is the first comprehensive report on vaccine side effects since 1994.
Fears that vaccines might cause autism or other health problems have led some parents to skip vaccinating their children, despite repeated reassurances from health authorities. The concerns have also force
If everybody in a population is vaccinated, the chances of contracting the disease is near zero. But the more people in a population who do not get vaccinated, the more the whole population is jeopardized.
Imagine a robust individual who is not vaccinated and gets mumps. Before his parents keep him home from school he infects half his classmates, some have been vaccinated and are not affected. Some have not been vaccinated and they get the mumps. Most recover. Maybe one of the non-vaccinated dies.
There may also be a child who was vaccinated but who is not very robust and she gets infected by several people, some of whom have been vaccinated and some who have not. Both can be carriers of the virus. The weak but vaccinated girl dies.
Does this mean the vaccine doesn't work? No. It means that if some people don't get vaccinated they can jeopardize those who do. On the other hand, if most people have been vaccinated, those in the population who haven't been vaccinated benefit from the actions of the others and get protection against the disease without being vaccinated. If too many people take this free-ride approach, the group suffers.

At last, a study that says once and for all just what we knew all along. It will still result in people saying that this research was funded by 'big pharma'/ the nwo/ illuminati etc... anything that will allow them to stay in their own little paranoid world.
I'd don your flaming gear, this is going to be a loooong ride.

Some of these vaccines aren't necessary, who do you know in the USA or UK, wherever you at. Has polio ? Some of the stuff they vaccinate for are diseases from third world countries. When I got vaccines as a kid, they made me sick as a dog. I don't know about you, but vomiting, running high fevers and getting swollen lumps from where I got the Jab; isn't exactly fun.

What causes autism?
If they dont know what causes it how can they say vaccines dont cause it?
Basically they are saying an autism rate of 1 male in 55 is normal.

The amounts of thimerosal in a few versions of chilhood vaccines are small; check the link for a look. Thimerosal, also known as merthiolate, a common topical antiseptic of the recent past, is readily excreted from the body and is far less dangerous than mercury compounds found in tuna fish.
If you are worried about mercury poisoning, check the label on any vaccine that is to be administered to your children. They will be protected from disease and mercury poisoning. For better results, stop eating tuna.
