Theresa Re: Did anyone hear this on the Today Show this morning???

[Guest guest]

Yesterday in pharmacology class my professor asked if any of us are

anti-vaccine. A woman on the front row said her infant son (does not

have autism) nearly died from a vaccine and she will not give them to

her kids any more, and her doctor concurs. I stated that I'm not

anti-vaccine, but I do believe there are unknown risks and serious

problems with the current program. I think there are ~25 parent out of

us 30 students. Virtually every one of them stated problems they have

with the way things currently are. These parents were getting shots

long before they knew me. They are continuing to get their kids

immunize but are not happy with it.

So people like offit & snyderman are essentially saying the vast

majority of parents, professionals who also have problems, are wrong

but they are right. It's just not accurate or fair.
