Deal Kossaks,
Carol Maloney of New York just introduced a bill to compare autism rates of vaccinated and unvaccinated kids. http://maloney.house.gov/...
Strange as it may seem, with all the controversy surrounding autism, this has never been done. http://www.upi.com/...
In Massachusetts, the autism rate increased 50% in just the last three years.

And the CDC now says the rate is 1 out of 175 kids, which means it is about 1/100 for boys, or just about 1%. The boy rate is higher than girls, 4 out of 5 autistic kids are boys.
This bill is seperate from the Combating Autism Act, which just passed.

I am totally for this bill. The evidence is strong that unvaccinated kids do not have autism at rates even close to the vaccinated kids. This bill is also supported by the American Autism Association. This is a very basic research study that needs to be done. If we find that vaccines are causing autism, then we do not stop vaccinating, we rather fix the vaccines.
I suggest you contact your congressperson to show support for this bill.
(if you vote in this poll against this bill, please post why. I believe a dialogue is important. Emotions run high on both sides of this debate.)
