Before you go: Oh no, not another autism diary. I'd like to start out by pointing out that I'm trying hard to not disparage people that think they are doing what's best for their children by not getting them vaccinated. I am a parent and I understand this. There's an awful lot of information out there and trying to decide what is valid and what isn't can be a tedious process. I'm just as distrustful of authority as a lot of you are and have a healthy amount of skepticism about the establishment position on almost any issue. That being said I just can't see how, based on a large amount of recent evidence, one can reasonably maintain the position that vaccinations are dangerous. Especially in light of the recent work to identifiy genetic causes of autism and to diagnose autism at an earlier age.

Another diary by aravir weighed in on this... but I thought I'd elaborate a little more on the vaccine issue.

A lot of people jumped on the IBD/TIPP poll immediately as a partisan poll. A few people cautioned that it's the pollster and not the sponsoring organization. I mean Obama does well in FoxNews and WSJ sponsored polling, right? Why should a poll from Investor's Business Daily (IBD) be any different? I was one of those people. I thought only starting out at +2% in Obama's favor might have been a blip on the radar: A factor of an overly conservative likely voter screen and their relatively low sampling size over a long period of time. I was wrong. The TIPP poll makes Rasmussen look like a left wing advocacy organization.
