"Hannah developed autism after receiving vaccinations for nine diseases during one visit to her doctor."
"Soon after receiving the vaccines, Hannah stopped eating, developed high fevers, began having screaming fits, and showed signs of autism. Her parents then filed an autism claim in federal vaccine court."
I don't take any shots myself, including the silly swine flu shot, but I think this vaccine culture of ours is getting out of hand. Most kids in America get way too many vaccines at early age.
Like ...9 shots in one visit for an 18 month old? |
Autism is very often a diagnosis given to children by lazy doctors who don't have any other answers.
I never really paid much attention to this claim specifically, but I am pretty cynical about many vaccination programs. No doubt vaccines in general save lives when they are needed, but there is also no doubt in my mind that pharmacutical companies overhype things so they can sell more vaccines. I also don't doubt that a certain percentage of people can get sick from vaccines and the different agents used to make and administer them.
