Data can be interpreted in many different ways... things can be left out, opinions can favor one way or the other. Something certainly has caused the huge amounts of autism in children, along with ADD, ADHD, autoimmune disorders and more in the past few decades. Along with vaccines, the food supply that we have been told is "good" for us, is now being revealed to have its own set of deadly issues. So... is it vaccines, is it our food, is it the fluoride in our water, is it all the chemicals in the soil, and water? I don't know, and neither does anyone else, although there are certainly a myriad of opinions out there! Yes, it is mind boggling, to say the least.
Yet, the ONLY ONE who does know the answer to your dilemma is the Lord. I would spend time in prayer about it, and let the spirit of the Lord guide you in making this decision.... and let us know how things go!
Will certainly be praying for you!!!!

The debate is certainly a heated one! A church friend of ours said she was at a family picnic and a couple of her aunts yelled at her for several minutes because her and her husband have not vaccinated their 8 month old boy yet. She had to leave the park because she said she felt scared they were so angry it was going to escalate.
There are an unending amount of opinions, and it's difficult separating fact from fiction. Someone sent me a link from a blog claiming Israel had created a certain vaccine which contains nanobots that can be activated remotely and cause changes in the body, even death. The blogger claimed Israel made it as a race weapon. I had also heard a lot about Thimersol being in vaccines, but I found data sheets which show it's been removed from almost all the vaccines. Mercury also has been removed from almost all vaccines. Granted, the CDC could be lying about it.
My sister warned me about not getting vaccines, specifically the vaccine against whooping cough, since health experts claim the number is rising due to non-immunized children. They cited California's big rise in cases, but failed to consider it was largely migrant worker's kids who were also exposed to pesticides from parents working in the fields. Perhaps the pesticides had nothing to do with it, but it should at least be considered before blaming it on not being vaccinated.
I just rented an ebook, "Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children," by Louise Kuo Habakus, M.A.and Mary Holland, J.D. *I'm interested in reading how money is driving and affecting this issue.
One thing I read on a blog which has stuck in my mind is, in the past 30 years the CDC schedule for vaccinations has nearly tripled, yet the number of cases of autism and other neurological and respiratory diseases has also drastically risen. Coincidence? Possibly so. I believe in the last 30 years the preservatives and additives in foods have changed as well. And we should include other things, such as contaminants in the air as well.
Had a good discussion with my wife last night on the issue, which was the first we've sat down and really talked about it.
