OT n - Vaccine connection

[Guest guest]

Hi n,

I was just curious what your thoughts (If you don't mind sharing) are regarding

the vaccine/autism connection. Please forgive me if I'm being intrusive. I was

wondering what your viewpoint might be from a parent who has done a lot of

research, and that has been living with autism for the length that you and your

family have. Did your son have vaccines? Are there mandatory vaccines in Norway

(my sweet grandmother was from Oslo by the way)? I realize that there are many,

many variables to all the things that lead our children to this diagnosis, and

there are kids who never had vaccines that are on the spectrum. Just thinking

that it seems there would be some common denominator somewhere in all the jumble

of genetics, crappy immune system, environmental toxins/vaccines, virals, etc.,

or just a combination of all these things. I guess that would be the million

dollar question that every parent, researcher, scientist and medical

professional, that has had autism touch their lives in some way, is trying to

answer. Anyway, just curious what you think, and hope you might share your

thoughts.

I only wish it were true that all scientsts, medical professionals, etc.WERE

studying this issue. Many seem to already have their minds made up and are

not interested in " new " information regarding mercury, MMR vaccines, etc.

We have to hold their feet to the fire, so to speak. I think all the ads in

magazines, and on TV show that we ARE having an effect!
