    I'm glad they are finally debunking this one for good!

    Amen. Look, if you don't want to vaccinate your children, that is absolutely your choice, and as parents I feel that we all are doing what we feel is best for our children. I would never judge a parent for making what they truly feel is the best decision for their family, even if it is not the same decision I would make.

    But shoving junk science down my throat to guilt trip me about vaccinating my child is ridiculous. The only reason the link was even thought of in the first place is because autism is generally detected around the same age as that particular vaccine is administered. AND there are more diagnoses of autism these days because it's finally being properly diagnosed, as opposed to 30 years ago when children were just labeled "slow."
