McNEIL Jr.Some parents are upset at the sheer number of injections a child must get ‹ usually about 20 by age 2. Others are convinced ‹ despite evidence to the contrary ‹ that vaccines are highly likely to cause severe health problems, like seizures and autism.Here on Vashon Island, a community of 10,000, word spread quickly when the 10-month-old baby of Gail O'Grady, a midwife who also works at Minglement Natural Foods, died unexpectedly in his crib in 1984 two weeks after his first immunization; when Pam Beck's daughter suffered four years of seizures that began minutes after her first whooping-cough shot; when Soriano's son, , developed autism after tetanus and polio vaccinations.Some doctors they consulted disagreed, but all three mothers were sure vaccines were to blame.http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/30/health/30VACC.html?todaysheadlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
