  • MMR vaccinations and autism-no connection. What do you think?

    A new study clearly shows no link whatsoever between the MMR vaccination and autism (ASD).

    Read the article, and let me know what you think....

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/health_autism_vacci...

    Here is my take:

    -I am tired of the pseudoscience on this issue and the innacurate info spread online (and through Y!A).

    -We have known for many years there wasn't a link and this study finally closes the door.

    -I find no fault in parent's concern for the welfare of their child, my issue is with the scare tactics, lies, and half-truths that scare the wits out of parents and actually result in the death and/or suffering of thousands of children from a preventable disease (what happened in the U.K.....read the article)

    -OK.....what do you think?
