Hannah Poling: Autism and Vaccines

Here is an article from Time Magazine published Monday: March 10, 2008.

Hannah's parents Terry and Jon Poling (who also happen to be highly respected medical professionals) took on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program - and won.

Until recently; I was unaware of the fact that such a program existed, but sure enough - those little handouts they give you when your child is immunized has the information right on there.

For the record: I am grateful for the scientific advances of medicine. I am happy to know that leeches are a thing of the past (at least in my culture). I am thrilled that doctors no longer prescribe turpentine for the treatment of anything!

I know the possibility of a connection between vaccinations and Autism has been blamed for unexpected outbreaks of Measels in certain areas. Here is someone else who knows a little bit about that: Dan Olmsted of the Daily Web Newspaper of the Autism Epidemic: Age of Autism.

That was all I really wanted to say about this.
