Unless one is medically unable to be vaccinated, being vaccinated is better than not being vaccinated.

At least, when it comes to things like the MMR vaccine. It's a trusted and tried vaccine.

I'm sure there are 'questions' regarding other vaccines, and I'm not well informed on every possible vaccine and it's potential side effects.

All of that being said, vaccines- on the whole- are a good thing and people who refuse to vaccinate their children are, in my opinion, committing an act of negligence. I can promise you that vaccines do NOT cause Autism, as Autism is a genetic.

So, in short: If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons you have a legitimate reason to remain un-vaccinated. If you DON'T have a medical reason and you choose not to vaccinate your children you are causing them potential harm.

Last I heard the cause of autism was not nailed down yet. Happy to know progress has made, narrowing it down to generics alone.

I wonder how soon selective abortion will be for kids with autism the way it is for downs in some places today.

Agreed that parents introduce risks to their kids. As a parent this is a daily realization. There are many risks of unhealth, danger, even death ; certainly some more statistically relevant than measles, some less.

Parenting is not for the faint of heart.
