In my day to day life, anything that helps people - no matter what. May I risk an OT digression - I have an open mind on the MMR/vaccine issue - but members of my extended family have had reason to believe, rightly or wrongly, that their child first showed autism symptoms days after the jab. Be that as it may, a new report (http://www.whale.to/vaccine/olmsted_h.html - so admittedly on an agendered website) is now saying that they have seen NO unvaccinated kids with autism. The Amish, it appears, among others, have no vaccination - and no autism, and in statistically significant amounts as well. Since autism is becoming an increasing issue in the developed world, and since I've seen the tragedy first hand, I do hope someone here has the knowledge to comment on this? Sorry if I'm threadjacking Tom, and please delete my comment if you want - but this is a big issue for my family, especially with the current economic situation that threatens the care they can get for their kids, and while I lean towards the scientific evidence-based approach, as this issue has been discussed here, I'm hoping that someone can pick up on this and add some new evidence.
