You’ve all heard the rumors -- that childhood vaccines may cause autism and might actually cause more harm than good. This kind of rumor didn’t exist back when I was a kid. People were so grateful to actually HAVE vaccines, since my mother’s generation lost loved ones or witnessed devastating disability because of diseases like polio, tetanus, and small pox. But things have changed. When I went to vaccinate my baby, other Mommy & Me mothers raised eyebrows. You’d have thought I was needling my daughter with poison.
