[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 649014, member: 135"] All vaccinations and medications can have side effects but the side effects from vaccinations are few and far between and science has proved again and again that those side effects do NOT include causing autism. Not getting the vaccinations allow people to get the diseases and the side effects from that are that some people die. I am old enough to have had measles and mumps and rubella and I lived through the time when kids were dying of polio and other diseases that are now preventable. I am lucky to have lived through that time. My mother was old enough that half of her siblings died before they were old enough to go to school. Have people totally forgotten what these diseases can do? I have very little patience with parents who will not vaccinate their kids. If they want to put their own children at risk I suppose that's their (poor) choice but the problem is that they are putting others at risk as well. A few people can't be vaccinated because of immune problems and treatments for other diseases like cancer and babies can't be vaccinated until they are old enough and they are the most vulnerable if they do get exposed. How dare you run the risk of exposing my kids and grandkids to preventable diseases! When you agree to live in a civilized society you agree that sometimes you have to put aside a few of your ideas for the good of the whole group. If you don't want to vaccinate your child, go live on a deserted island someplace where you aren't running the risk of killing my children and grandchildren,. I am tired of living in a country where Joe Blow off the street gets a stupid idea and then promotes it even though it is against all science and reason. I've heard people like Jenny McCarthy saying her child got vaccinated and then he got autism so the vaccination caused it. That's like saying I ate beans for supper and then I fell down the stairs so the beans caused my fall. Vaccinate your kids to protect them and also to protect others. [/QUOTE]
