Voice Your Opinion: Is Autism Linked to Vaccines?

From a site called, "Oppposing Views":

Are Autism and Vaccines Linked?

Over the last decade, autism has gone from a rare and misunderstood condition to a disorder that may affect as many as 1.5 million Americans. Without a clear explanation in sight, parents and doctors have worked tirelessly to pinpoint the cause of autism, but the answer remains elusive. Are vaccines the missing link?

Sandy,

I don't believe I've seen you here before (although I may have missed it) but it sounds as if you may be new to the site. . .

Welcome!

We all need to be here--TOGETHER--every single one of us who has been touched by autism (and ADD and Asperger's and ADHD and obsessive-compulsive disorder and sensory integration disorder) and the whole *slew* of chronic, full-body illnesses that kids are suffering from today due to:

1. vaccines
2. mercury in fish, dental fillings, in the air, in the water
3. toxic vaccines
4. other known neurotoxins in widespread use (such as aluminum, found in vaccines)

And (of course):

5. vaccines; 32 (or is it 36? they keep adding them) by age two; 55 doses by age 6.

Please join us in what we are saying and DOING here. You will find plenty of opportunities to speak and to join others in making our truth heard.

Hope to see you again soon.

Terri Lewis

Yes, autism is definitely linked to vaccines. Forty years ago when I was in grammar school (now I am showing my age) I never knew a child that was developing normally and then suddenly lose their speech at the age of two to three years old. This never happened before. This regressed autism is happening now! I am a mother of a seven year old daughter who was developing normally and then lost everything. Now, she is nonverbal and in diapers. Also, I have a son who is two and a half years old and unvaccinated and he is fine!

When I talk to women, they feel very confused and overwhelmed about issues such as this. How can they know the right answer about Autism when even the experts cannot agree?

Take a look at the Amish, I say. They live a simple life. They (Naturally) Home birth, breastfeed, and they do not vaccinate. What is more, in the un-vaccinated Amish population, a reporter could find no Autism. ( http://www.whale.to/vaccine/olmsted.html )

We, as parents, don't have to know the CAUSE, we don't have to argue the CAUSE in order to protect our children.

As parents we just need to find out for our selves what causes the most healthy children (and later adults) and "go right" with ever single decision we make.
This starts before birth- with ourselves.
