That's interesting. Do you think that if yr kid were vax'd you'd always wonder if his autism were from the vaccinations? It seems when you investigate things over a population, a lot of the signs of autism occur around the same age as some of the vaccinations. But I know that info rarely reassures anyone.
I also wonder why people in other countries who get vaccinated don't have the same autism<--vax connection. Maybe they have other social vax connections tho? In v rural, non"Westernized" smaller communities there's sometimes a fear that vaccination cause sterility, based on the messed up nature of previous interactions with colonialism and Western medicine
Also, now that kiddo's older and already "developed" did you ever consider vaccinating him as a teenager or whatever? (I guess now that he's an adult that is just a theoretical question) Do you still have philosophical objections to vaccinations? Or do you mean that you used that category as an exemption when he was little?
Do you get the flu shot yearly? I know as a health care provider we basically are seen as vectors of flu and the vibe is that if we don't get flu shot we are causing harm to our patients (especially if we work with babies and pregnant ladies.) Has that vibe passed over to other social sector folks? Oh-- that reminds me, there was an interesting paper that came out showing that preggo ladies who get the flu shot are much more likely to not have a newborn hospitalized for respiratory infections.
