When we had the autism scare with our son, we asked the development pediatrician about vaccines. This is her area of expertise. She told us, "We do not know what causes autism, so I can not say if vaccines will cause it or not."

I consider her to be a wise woman.

Regarding the autism page, Jenny McCarthy and a panel of medical experts were interviewed on Larry King. It is a really interesting interview and can be seen on You Tube. Because it's an hour or so, you have to watch 4 or 5 different clips to get the whole thing.
