Ok people, I know that Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are telling you not to vaccinate your kids. I know that they’re famous and Jenny has an autistic son, but that does not make either of them a medical professional. Granted I’m no doctor either, but here’s plenty of data from real doctors about the subject.
I know that autism is scary. I’m a parent and any time Mannix does something slighty weird, I’m half convinced he’s got something. Unfortunately, this fear is misplaced. Vaccinations do not cause autism, but they do save lives. Measles outbreaks are already on the rise and it’s not good.
Measles has killed hundreds of children. Millions of children have died from completely preventable diseases. Please don’t let paranoia from a few celebrities scare your into endangering your children; listen to reason.
Sandra Kellog wrote about it lately but i think what you wrote is much better.
Hopefully, more people start writing about it. This kind of paranoia can kill kids and undo decades of work in public health.
Hi
Where did you get words for this paper? From your head???
@chinaman:
If you’d read the post, you would see that there is a link to several studies on the topic.
I agree with you Ian, people should have their kids vaccinated. I was, my husbnd was, we all were. I think its all the people that don’t vaccinate their kids that are bringing the diseases back. Ask your Dr. to vaccinate in single doses rather than 5 shots at once if you are concerned. They can and will do it , but only if you ask.
That’s my 2 cents worth!
