There are definitely links from the vaccines to autisim. If you really dig deep and do the research it's there. Check out Dr. Eisenstein from Chicago. He's a doctor that doesn't do any vaccines for the kids and with roughly 30,000 patients doesn't have a single case of autism from any of the kids who haven't been vaccinated. Also, there are court cases out there who have sided with the parents claiming that vaccines caused their children to be autistic:

I too have reservations about vaccines - more so about the recommended schedule. I'm not totally against them but I also don't think having children need all of them. I declined the rotavirus and chicken pox w/ both my kids and have spaced them out over the months. I also get info from Dr. Tenpenny here on fb. She is against them as are most of her followers. As a Christian I know my kids are in God's hands. Hope this was helpful.

I have been a nurse for 20 years, and I am the proud mom of a 7 year old girl. The stories about vaccines being linked to autism are anecdotal at best. The chances of your child dying of meningitis,or measels, or other vaccine preventable diseases are thousands of times greater than those of your child developing autism from the vaccines... Hope this helps.

Being a nurse and having the vaccine/autism talk with parents, it's been shown that there is NO link whatsoever from vaccine related autism. The diseases are far worse than the side affects of the vaccines.....that's my opinion anyway! Hope that helped a little!!!!!
