I personally read every vaccination debate with great interest. For us, we watch very carefully what is introduced into our sons' environments...whether it be vaccinations, nutrition, toxins, TV, etc. ad nauseum.
Now, for the vaccination debate, I will be the first to throw my hands up in the air and say "I don't have the answers. I do a heckuva lotta' research, but I don't have the answers." We have vaccinated our sons, except for the MMR. We are going to wait for a bit and then space that out. Flame away if you must, but it won't change my decision.
I mean this with complete respect and curiosity - for those of you that say there is no link between autism and vaccinations/MMR (or thimerasol) - what is your theory for the skyrocketing autism rates? I did a master's project on autism and the escalating rates are mindblowing. Again, I most sincerely mean that out of respect and I hope it is received as such.
I like this website that I got from a friend. In the interest of full disclosure, she does have a son with autism and is VERY involved in vaccination research as it relates to autism.

The thing that bothers me so greatly is how many people just "hand" their power over to medical professionals (and, yes, my husband is a medical professional and I STILL don't do it.) You must do your research! At the end of the day, every medical expert is a human being first. And humans make errors.
