while i recognise that the wakefield paper was flawed, i don't believe the hypothesis (there is a link between mmr and autism) has been proven or disproven.

i have done delayed and selective vaccination, but i still don't feel completely comfortable each time i give my kids a vaccine. my dd got quite sick after her '2' and '4' month needles, but this was largely discounted by the vacc nurses, which made me even more reluctant to accept their reassurances. she has not yet had the MMR, because i saw some mild signs that could be linked to autism leading up to when she was 12 months, and i did not want the uncertainty hanging over my head of was it the vaccine that caused symptoms, or was she always heading that way.

i would welcome more research into the safety and efficacy of vaccines because atm i feel duped by both sides of the debate.
