Parents were anti-vaccinations.  

Hate to post and run, but I thought you guys would be interested in this.

This makes me sad, something so preventable. 
As far as vaccinating, to each their own, autisim link or not, I'd rather have my child here alive with some ailment then not at all.

So so sad. Now they get to live with the guilt of choosing not to vaccinate.

So sad. How horrible that someone has to live with that, knowing that it could have been prevented.

FYI: There is no autism link.

I know, but some people are hell bent on this statement and I just didn't want to get in a debate over it.

I know what you were trying to say, like you would rather have your kid alive here with you, for someone who did believe in the link (not you or me!), because they would be alive with autism instead of dead.

That is so sad   I can't imagine living with that guilt.

But you could have left that part out. It wasn't necessary. It also perpetuates the myth.

Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.  I figured I was covering all basis with the "autisim link or not" statement.  People are going to believe what ever they want to believe.  I don't think my statement in that post is going to perpetuate the myth amongst this group.  I like to believe we are all intelligent mother's here, and if anyone had doubts, they could/would do their own research.

speaking of autism links, I found this article pretty fascinating talking about diagnosing a risk from birth by studying the placenta!
