We decided to do it. Everybody else got the chicken pox vaccine, so our kids wouldn't be exposed. A real problem I have with it is that it could push out the time when folks might catch chicken pox into a more dangerous period of life. We really don't know the impact of this program other than drug makers cashing in. It pisses me off that I rolled over on this one when my doctor couldn't give me a good reason other than my kids were not going to be exposed.

I asked somebody knowlegable about the autism / vaccination connection. He said there was a pretty good study debunking that one. I'll have to look for it. The problem is that onset of autistic symtoms tends to happen in the same timeframe as early childhood vaccinations. We naturally see causation.
