The Vaccine Controversy

by Chris Jones on May 4, 2010

If you missed the PBS Frontline program entitled “The Vaccine War” here’s your opportunity to watch it online.

The reason why the controversy over vaccination persists is because many parents have reported that their children have regressed after receiving certain vaccinations. These regressions can lead to autism and other neurological syndromes but the agents responsible have yet to be identified. Much attention has been focused on the MMR vaccine ( Measles, Mumps, Rubella) but epidemiological studies have shown no relationship between this vaccination and the development of autism in children (1). Autism and syndromes such as ADD and ADHD have certainly been on the increase and parents want answers.
