Ah yes, all the people commenting here are brainwashed by the media who are all backed up by the pharmaceutical companies. I can assume that all of you don''t have a child with autism who has spent thousands and thousands of dollars doing treatments to make their kids better. And they are getting better with these treatments. I could care less if my child received a dime. I wouldn''t want any additional children to be harmed by these vaccinations. GET FREE MONEY. Ha! Don''t talk about something you know nothing about. You know nothing of autism and what our family and the child with autism goes through. Some day you will all be affected by autism and God bless you when that happens.

At least three lives badly hurt if not ruined....the child, the two parents and the siblings who must all sacrifice because of the harmful effects of the vaccines.

This is GREAT news for the family in Atlanta! Now these "medical experts" should admit why the drug co. took these vaccines off the market and removed the mercury out of these vaccines if "nothing was wrong with them?" So come see MY child and see his medical shot records and the Lot numbers from these vaccines he got -- sadly, those were all the ones that were pulled with mercury in them -- and watch our home movies of my child before these vaccines and then afterwards and tell me he is not the same kid! I am one of those parents who will not shut up about this and who lives with a child who has been damaged by these vaccines. I will NEVER stop professing the connection to Autism and vaccines and my child''s physical, mental and developmental setbacks. We live with the damage it did. And there are no medically documented "genetic" cases that have affected so many thousands of children with such profound changes in their development over time as this epidemic, so these "medical experts" need to stop claiming there is no connection when in fact THERE IS INDEED! Sadly, these drug co. and "medical experts" need to shut up, pay up and help all these children and families and one day they will have to eat their words when the facts come out and it is indeed acknowledged! - Lpal23

MyOpinion1: I agree completely. Autism is a disease that forms in the womb and is hard wired into the brain. There is a huge differance between a brain that is wired wrong and one that is damaged even if the symptoms are the same. Fact is the human body uses some pretty complicated chemistry and we are still learning. If you are worried about a vaccine hurting your child imagine what the full blown illness would do to them.

The mercury has been out of the vaccines for YEARS. People need to get over it, move on and find another way to get free money. In the meantime the rest of us will live realistic lives and stop chasing lies.

You had better go check your facts .. mercury is still used in vaccines. There have been many cases recently of parents fighting the vaccine rules for school because of it.

Every study, no matter who it''s run by, comes to the same conclusions. Vaccines don''t cause autism. On the other hand, vaccines do prevent many deadly diseases, as some parents who fall for the autism hype learn to their deep sorrow.

Go, search, read the studies for yourself, not the description of the link on an anti-vaccine site (they flat out lie about what the study says quite often) - you can see it for yourself. Two groups of kids, one group gets vaccinated and the other does not - the unvaccinated kids get autism at exactly the same rate as the vaccinated.

I''ve always been suspicious of the claim that the mercury in vaccines is harmless ... while at the same time saying that pregnant women and small children shouldn''t eat a whole list of seafoods because of the mercury

I have been saying this for years, the pharmaceuticals have to be behind this for money. There is no way in H..., you can put that much toxin in a small body without problems.
