Non_New_Orleans medical question re:Vaccines
If this is in the wrong place please move it, but I didn't see a group for this question.

Are there higher rates of autism/neurological disorders among vaccinated versus non-vaccinate persons?

I am finding so much conflicting evidence...how can you possibly know if vaccines have anything to do with this sort of thing?

thanks in advance,

3. no
it's pretty much all anecdotal.

Although you'll get plenty of people "saying" otherwise, it isn't backed up by any real - UNBIASED - research.

They are finding predispositions to autism in infants - possibly there is a genetic component. Now, is there some trigger? Probably. Is that the vaccine and/or mercury - *maybe*. So do we throw out all vaccines - which saves millions of lives - because some people may have an allergic reaction? Well, do we throw out peanut butter? No. We find what the real problem is and address it for those individuals.

Not vaccinating your children is putting them, and others, at severe risk of death or disability.
