My brain has been on this lately and it is hard not to worry. I am convinced that vaccinations caused my boys autism. I found this 2003 article on WND that sums up my rage against the CDC:
Newborn vaccinated over parents' objections
Orwellian nightmare for 'persecuted' couple
as armed guards ensure infant's vaccination
Of particular interest and in total agreement I found this:
"We believe in God, and that God has created us in his image. In being created in God's image, we are given his perfect immune system. We are bestowed with His gift, the immune system. We believe it is sacrilegious and a violation of our sacred religious beliefs to violate what God has given us by showing a lack of faith in God. Immunizations are a lack of faith in God and His protection, the immune system," the father maintains.
If we are to be people of faith then this has to be true. I first have religious objections to vaccines and second, I believe the government is trying to poison our children because they are "in bed with" big pharmaceuticals. I have a right to believe this(it's a free country, or so we are told).
A friend of mine told me Jenny McCarthy was on Oprah yesterday discussing her new book about her son, Evan, who is autistic. Like my younger son, he started showing obvious signs much after birth(age 2). For my son it was age 4. The connection? Both my son and Evan were vaccinated right before they "lost" everything. All those milestones, eye contact, for my son, toileting, sleep, happiness. It is a parents worst nightmare. You wake up one day and someone has taken your happy, precious child and replaced him with an apathetic robot who you can never keep content or happy. Thankfully, we have stopped vaccinating completely and my daughter has no signs at all. She had no vaccines after 6 month(much to the dismay of her pediatrician).
Why am I spouting off on this subject? I believe it is my job to warn other parents. No one else will. The government won't do it, the hospital won't do it and your doctor certainly won't do it.
As a family, we are in damage control mode now. Whatever we can do to make their burden lighter and their lives a bit easier, we do for them. But I can't go back and say no. I live with that guilt everyday. Now that I am informed, I'm a doctor's nightmare. That's what a protective mother bear should be. Here is the link for the book:

Another interesting link/study can be found here:
California/Oregon Unvaccinated Study
"We surveyed over 9,000 boys in California and Oregon and found that vaccinated boys had a 155% greater chance of having a neurological disorder like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys." -Generation Rescue, June 26, 2007
Scary stuff, no?
