Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have been researching vaccines for about a year now.....one thing I do know is that where you are suffering from ME/CFS - this could very well place your baby into the " high risk " group for Autism if vaccinated (another poster on another board alerted me to this alarming fact that every case of Autism she has encountered the mother was suffering from a chronic disease or autoimmune disorder). I definitely think that you are making the right decision by not vaxing so far. If it were me, I wouldn't at all - ever. Welcome to the group. You will learn a lot. > > Hello. I've just joined today.
