Science and reason finally win one

Very good story that restores some of my faith in the litigation system:
Court says vaccine not to blame for Autism-MSNBC.com

Some of you don't immunize your children. Thankfully, most of you do. But whether you do or don't, almost all of you are aware of the theory floating around that vaccines cause autism.

At first glance, this does not seem all that unreasonable. After all, kids start showing definite signs of autism around 10-20 months, after getting several shots of who knows what that protect them from who knows what. And what was that? There's MERCURY in some of them?!? Well, heaven knows that's bad for your brain. So, yeah, I can see where the connection can be made. And for anyone who has seen/taken care of/knows someone with a severe case of autism, it is understandable to do everything you can to try to protect your baby from having the same limitations.

The problem is that some people never get past that first glance. Upon closer examination, the whole thing is debunked. So, either trust your doc and get the shots, look at pictures* of kids dying of these diseases and then get the shots, read about how the whole theory got started and then get the shots, or look at the CDC or the Institute of Medicine info and then, you guessed it, get the shots.
