From September 18th
From Oprah.com with Jenny McCarthy on it...
In recent years, the number of children diagnosed with autism has risen from 1 in every 500 children to 1 in 150-and science has not discovered a reason why. Jenny says she believes that childhood vaccinations may play a part. "What number will it take for people just to start listening to what the mothers of children who have seen autism have been saying for years, which is, 'We vaccinated our baby and something happened."
Jenny says even before Evan received his vaccines, she tried to talk to her pediatrician about it. "Right before his MMR shot, I said to the doctor, 'I have a very bad feeling about this shot. This is the autism shot, isn't it?' And he said, 'No, that is ridiculous. It is a mother's desperate attempt to blame something,' and he swore at me, and then the nurse gave [Evan] the shot," she says. "And I remember going, 'Oh, God, I hope he's right.' And soon thereafter-boom-the soul's gone from his eyes."
My youth pastor's son is autistic and they said it happened right after they vaccinated, too. They even called us to tell us what happened and make sure we weren't vaccinating when Steven was born. We weren't planning on it, but ahhh, I am so happy with our decision.
