1 in 4 parents believe vaccines cause autism
One in four U.S. parents believe that some vaccines cause autism in healthy children, but even many of those worried about vaccine risks think their children should be vaccinated. People have good cause to worry. I won’t go into it here as all of the info is easily available elsewhere, but their fears are justified, even if some call the link “unproven”.
Most parents simply follow the advice of their children’s doctors, according to a study based on a survey of 1,552 parents. “Extensive research has found no connection between autism and vaccines”.
“Nine out of 10 parents believe that vaccination is a good way to prevent diseases for their children,” said lead author Dr. Gary Freed of the University of Michigan. “Luckily their concerns don’t outweigh their decision to get vaccines so their children can be protected from life-threatening illnesses.”
Sadly, everyone involved in these kind of surveys have their own agenda. Make up your own mind about the debate by doing your own research. Don’t just believe that something is safe just because they tell you it is.

Wow, that’s pretty irresponsible, especially for a blog called “Healthy Reader”. You clearly believe a link exists, you call for parents to be afraid, try to tell us to make up our own minds, but make it sound like an easy google search will prove that this link exists. I found the exact opposite.
