Autism-World

Q: A friend of mine said that she’d read an article that mentioned that a shot given to infants/toddlers may be a cause of Autism but, she couldn’t remember what shot it said could be…

Has anyone read anything about the POSSIBLE link between infant shots and Autism?

Answer:

The stopped putting Thimerasol (the mercury-related preservative) in all manditory childhood vaccines in 2001. The last of the old lots with thimerasol expired in January of 2003.

But I still thing the shots are kind of tought on a baby’s system. I would suggest giving your child all the shots listed as “manditory” – except give them a bit later than recommended. You can also separate shots that are normally given together.

I’ve heard good reasons to not give a child the MMR shot. The deseases the protect a child from are not very serious. If you were to skip a shot, that would be the one.

All serious evedence has ruled out the chance vaccines cause autism.
