I know of the study and it makes me cringe. He did the study of vaccinations a great disservice. I have a Bachelor of Science degree with first class honours, and I studied Microbiology, so I understand the mechanisms of vaccines, bacteria, viruses, cells, the "immune system" etc, and I have a good understanding of the requirements of reputable studies. His was not one.

I do however, think there is potentially a link between autism and vaccinations. There are so many unknown side-effects from the ingredients in vaccines and their interaction with our bodies. There are insufficient studies into the link between mitochondrial disorders and vaccines. It's also known that one of the side-effects of some vaccines can be encephalopathy, and one of possible causes of seizure-disorders and autistic like symptoms is encephalopathy, so whilst the vaccine doesn't actually cause the end result, it may set the ball rolling.

However, these are not the main reasons we have chosen not to vaccinate at this point in time. The unknown is this matter did factor in though, as our children are in a higher than average risk group for autism and autistic spectrum disorders.
