    Vaccinations have saved millions, maybe billions, of lives. But they also inspire worry that something could go terribly wrong. That's why Michael Kinch's new book is named "Between Hope and Fear."https://n.pr/2Q0M4V4

        A ten thousand percent increase in autism cases is a small price to pay for not having the measles.

        Vaccines cause adults, not autism. The study was bogus. It was retracted. No science supports this.

        How do you explain the sudden drastic increase in autism? One in ten thousand to one in twenty in less than three decades

        the "increase" you talk about is increased diagnosed cases, as opposed to an actual increase in real incidence/prevalence. The "increase" in autism came about with better diagnostic tools and criteria for diagnosing it

        Tens of thousands of cases from twenty years ago and there's no record of it. Cool story

        No record of what? His study had 12 people. 12.

        If you read the literature that accompanies your child's vaccines, you'll find that some carry very real risks, but not at the rate that some would suggest. Large-scale non-vaccination would be disastrous, but safer vaccines are never a bad thing. Don't fight against them.

        Many are not against vaccines per se-but against the schedule of administration..why so many drugs so soon after birth?and why such hazardous compounds?Why have so many people come forward who have seen changes in their children post vaccines? Why the spike in autism since MMR vx

        The amazing thing about science is every idea is hypothesize, tested, verified and challenged. Then challenged indefinitely, and it is the accuser who must verify the wrong using the same hypothesize, test, and verify method. Odd no one has been able to do that in 50+ years.

        It would have cost far less to examine the effects of the shots and the volume and timing of them on children than pharma and the CDC have spent on propaganda designed to shame and ridicule concerned parents. Which is most harmful - the diseases or the bombardment of vaccines?
