I think the benefits and protections offered by the vaccines far outweigh the potential of autism. I also agree that spacing out vaccines seems far more sensical then getting rid of them altogether. Vaccinating one's children protects your kids but also everyone else's kids. I do think it is possible something in the vaccines may trigger the onset of autism in someone genetically predisposed to it, but I don't think vaccines are responsible for causing autism. There is a great debate about vaccines and autism at www.opposingviews.com/questions/are-autism-and-vaccines-linked Experts from both sides debate the issue, and there's a guy named Kevin Leitch who is really stirring things up by taking on the groups who believe autism and vaccines are linked. Great read on the topic! Great post…I completely agree. I think the benefits and protections offered by the vaccines far outweigh the potential of autism.
