POPSLaughing Matter- Not to the Parent of an Autistic child
You have no idea of the position the parent of an autistic child when it comes to vaccination. Every day you find yourself battling guilt, wondering and questioning. What if it really was the vaccine? Am I at fault for trusting the pediatrician with my child's health? If it's the vaccine why don't All children have autism ? What would've happened if they didn't get the vaccinations?. Would they have gotten something worse? Would a doctor really give a child something that would cause them harm? Could a pharmaceutical company be that negligent with the FDA watching? Who's watching the FDA anyway? The information / disinformation is so rampant on the connection between vaccines and Autism a building full of super computers couldn't sort it out. In many states it doesn't matter. Parents have no choice. Vaccination is the law. But the problem does not begin or end with vaccinations. The very same chemicals found in vaccines and many more are found in our waters.
