I am sorry that your son developed autism. However, we must remember the golden rule of humans. Correlation does not imply causation.
Because of this propaganda, about vaccines, it has literally caused suppressed diseases to come back:
We have outbreaks of Polio, when Polio was considered dead...
We have whooping cough outbreaks...
Increase in Measles...
Increase in Mumps...
The list continues...
Specifically with Autism linkage of the vaccines. This is non-sense, I am sorry. I cannot put it another way. If vaccines are bad then so are the drugs used to cure illness when you are an adult. Anti-biotics should not be taken then, if you develop an infection that is too bad use homeopathic methods, change your diet. It does not work. Vaccines are the future still and they have saved countless number of lives. And because of crack pot studies like this:
It has caused many of the autism linked to vaccine studies to apologize and stop promoting anti-vaccine campaigns, because they were wrong. The celebrities to supported the anti-vaccine trend are not supporting it anymore. Doctors who were supporting it are not supporting it anymore, they are complete believers in Vaccines now.
Only the strong evangelic religious community is still pioneering this fraud. When the evidence tells them they are wrong they just do not believe the truth.
It is so infantile that it is not even potent. It would be like taking a lick of your lead pencil. It won't hurt you, just taste bad.
Please I cannot urge you enough to vaccinate your children. It is important to there health and to the health of the children around them.

This is something I've been doing my best to research. I am now 5 months pregnant and already I feel the pressure to do "the right thing" when it comes to my daughter. I'm absolutely terrified to not vaccinate(for obvious risks) at the same time I hear most schools won't even welcome children who haven't had their vaccinations. I'm not anywhere near religious and would feel ridiculous using that as some sort of excuse. I'm at my wits end trying to figure it out. I want a healthy little girl and if she were to develop autism or illness after a vaccination, I'd probably flip my lid! Like I said, I've researched, but still wish there was a single place to get reliable, documented information.

We are currently delaying the shots for our child until we do further research. I wish there was definitive answers on the safety or dangers of these vaccinations. Vaccine injury is a real phenomenon, but at the same time, they do help the spread of disease in some cases. There is so much propaganda on both sides of the issue. What is a parent to do?

Most people get chickenpox and they are immune for life. Get a vaccination and they wear off. Most recently this is apparent with the so called whooping cough outbreak. Google it. On top of that you have the manufacturers doing their own studies for the FDA and faking them. If vaccines work as supposed why do they wear off and why are booster shots needed?

I don't think that there has ever been a study that definitively linked vaccinations with autism.

I have a 3 month old.
She has gotten and will continue to get her vaccinations, just like I did when I was a child.
And I turned out alright.
Actually, I have a stronger than average immune system.
When Natural News began, it was basically the blog and sales portal of anti-pharmaceutical activist Mike Adams. His basic premise has always been the Big Pharma conspiracy, the idea that the medical industry secretly wants to keep everyone sick, and conspires with the food industry to make people unhealthy, all driven by a massive plot of greed to sell poisonous medicines. Adams appears to have become a protégé of Alex Jones, for he now writes on Natural News at least as many police state conspiracy articles as he does anti-science based medicine articles. They carry ads for each other on their sites as well.

There was a time I did....but not any more. I vaccinated my first daughter exactly like we are told to. My second daughter passed away from SIDS not long after her second round of vaccinations. I then started to study everything I could find on it.
If I ever decided to have another the answer would not only be no...it would be HELL NO! Don't listen to anyone, just do your own research on it. There is so much information out there. Good information. The best thing to do, is not listen to the way out there folks on either side, but read for yourself. You will find the answer that you need and will feel like you made the most educated choice you could either way.

I appreciate your reply; however, I do not appreciate your sarcasm. I am not looking for a debate. I am helping a fellow human with evidence provided by scientific journals and the scientific community. Your source of information is not an accredited scientific source and it is not a reliable source. They have no scientific journal or scientific validity.
According to Skeptoid:

It is important to remember the source of information and to use critical thinking when faced with opposing views that go against the safety of the community. I must urge you to read an ACTUAL scientific journal. To do your RESEARCH. To seldom AFFIRM what you read just because you agree with the article. It does not matter what you or I believe only what is true.

Kangaruex4Ewe,
Thanks for posting, I'm very sorry to hear about the death of your daughter. I too have family members who are no longer in this world due to severe vaccine damage.
