I know there are a lot of people out there who aren't sure about vaccinations, especially for kids. I always wondered where the idea that they cause autism came from. From a fraudulent study, as it turns out.
I think this one had so much traction because people like to distrust doctors.

Do vaccines actually work?
Date: 2009-02-10 03:02 pm (UTC)In fact vaccines are still being tested through the vaccination programmes of the world - its just that the patients need to report symptoms of adverse reactions - do they protect you from the disease they are meant to protect from....who knows?
In the UK we have the yellow card reporting system - I dont believe that many of these are filled in.
Personally I don't believe in vaccination - I havent had any jabs for over 15 years and I haven't contracted these killer diseases!
It may be due to the higher standards of living, hygiene standards rather than these wonderful jabs
