But I agree that we are an emotional bunch.Wouldn't you be? Offit does a fair bit of name calling himself; refering to us as UFO chasers or Holocaust deniers. I am neither. But I am desperate to get to the bottom of this issue. I want real science. I really want to know if vaccines were the cause of my son's regression.Paul Offit's reassurances do nothing for me. And I find his wealth, 104 million from the patent on the vaccine he voted to be mandated on the schedule, disgusting in light of the expenses we parents incur trying to heal our children. By the way, he has never treated a child with Autism, he is an infectious disease specialist.Why are we even listening to him?

It will answer many of the questions you raise, and it will provide references so that you may check out the facts yourself. Reading the book would be a good start.
