What in particular do you not trust about vaccines? The autism link has long been discredited.

Ultimately the decision is up to you, but I would strongly encourage you to do further research from credible sources. My mother-in-law send my wife and I an email after the birth of our son, and it was full of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and pseudo-science references. This can be quite alarming to new parents, but it is more important now than it ever has been to analyze the information and make an informed decision.

If you stick to credible sources, you'll soon realize that the risk of autism is simply non existent, there is no conspiracy by doctors, scientists, the Illuminati, (insert conspiracy theory of the day here), etc., and there is a very good reason why people live longer than ever before: because preventable diseases are being prevented.
