Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

April 22, 2008

Channel: GP Originals

Is it possibe that the Therimisol that was used, could have been a trigger for Autism? Also, is it possible, the numbers of cases growing, is due to the fact that Autism does not always rear its ugly head till a child has hit 2 or more years of age? And if, instead of destroying the tainted vaccines, it is being sent to 3rd world countries, will we not still see a rise in the numbers of children affected?

I've always thought it to be cruel and completely unnecessary for a child to be given 3 or more shots at one time. I have told my daughters that if it were me,I would not allow this to be done. What Dr. McCarton said about getting one shot and waiting a month before getting another one makes good sense to me. My question is, why are doctors allowed to give so many shots at one time.They shouldn't be allowed to do it in my opinion.You as the parent have a choice not to let them but many are not aware that you can refuse getting so many at one time.I will be sure to save this video and let my daughters watch it.
