Debbie -

You are right, obviously we are making folks nervous. I know that in

the UK they are spending millions on a new ad campagne for the MMR

(money better spent on research rather than PR) but that does show

that people are starting to question things.

Also, I always click on items regarding Autism that are meant for the

general public so I can see what information is being presented to

the average person on the street. Look what I found recently in an

article titled " Understanding Autism " from my Yahoo start page under

the " Heath " section:

" Causes

There is no one specific cause of autism. Current research focuses on

biological and neurological differences in the brain, including

biochemical imbalances, genetic influences, and immunologic problems.

Adverse reactions to rubella or pertussis immunizations, food

allergies, excessive amounts of yeast or 'candida albicans' in the

digestive tract, and exposure to environmental toxins have all been

implicated. "

That is the first time I saw what happened to Vico acknowledged in a

mainstream article. Of course they had links built into this article

that said that vaccines are safe and you should vaccinate. But I

thought this paragraph was a huge leap for us.

We will all keep fighting and lift our voices for our children who

cannot do it for themselves.

We are getting through.
