Vaccinate your children people!!!! This is one issue that makes me dread my Peds rotation....I'm not sure I'll be able to handle parents who bring up the the "autism link" (NOT even a proven link anyway....and this fact is agreed upon by MANY doctors). By not vaccinating children, parents are reintroducing horrible diseases that people have not seen in years. Society has no idea how devastating these illnesses can be. While autism is a sad and difficult diagnosis, death from measles, in my opinion is far worse and much more devastating. Not to mention these parents are putting other children at risk because private schools are regulated and unvaccinated children are allowed to attend.
I don't have children yet, and probably won't for a few years. But this idea of unvaccinating my child is foreign to me and I don't understand it. Diseases like measles, tetanus and diptheria coming back is scary and very real if this idea of relationship between vaccines and autism continues.
Just some Saturday thoughts....
