Like most bloggers, I suspect, I like to know who's linking to me. Unfortunately, the majority of bloggers appear not to use TrackBacks, and even when they do for some reason the TrackBacks often don't register. Couple that with a... [Read More]

Those who don’t acknowledge some sort of vaccine-autism connection, in my opinion, is turning a blind eye. There is circumstantial, anecdotal and scientific evidence linking vaccinations to autism and other developmental disorders. There is also a lot of evidence suggesting that themerisol may not be the harming agent. Many vaccines contain ingredients such as formaldehyde, aluminum phosphate, phenols, aluminum salts and methanol---all toxic substances….something to think about.
