I just saw this on CNN when I was in line at the bank, I think it will be interesting to see how it works out.

is the only story I could immediately find online about it...but it was on CNN about 20 minutes ago.
Basically, a group of families who say that the vaccinations their children received are directly responsible for their children's autism, are suing the government.
It's taken them FIVE YEARS to get this to federal court. If they win, they will receive damages from a multi-billion dollar trust fund. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. On one hand you have scientists saying that there is scientifically no link; all the while the role of thermisol is being lowered, if not completely removed, from vaccines; on the other hand, you have parents telling stories of watching their children's descent into autism shortly after getting the MMR shot.
(Please note: I'm not advocating getting vaccines or not getting vaccines; each parent makes that decision for their own child. I'm not trying to start any debate, I just thought it was interesting and it will continue to be interesting to see how this plays out.)

"What if the question is not why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be, but why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?"




I saw this this morning too.
bbc prime made a movie about this.
it said that they had tested the three vaccinations that are in the single mmr shot seperatly and it shoved no resault but they had never tested it al in one KWIM?
Chrissy you should see this movie cause there are some helpful advices in it about how to get the autism better (if it's caused by this)... the worst thing is I can't find it online or anything about it and can't remember the name I've been searching for it for over an hour online so that I could tell you the name but I can't find it I'll post about it again if I find out and I'll keep it in mind
