This is my personal feeling on the issue. That's not to say that vaccines might not contribute to the autism trigger. They could...or not.
It's scary but in the end we have to make the call as parents and cross fingers and toes that we're doing the right thing.
We did decide to do the bundled MMR with DD. It was a tough decision for me, not so much for DH. He takes the same approach your DH does Supa. He really thinks that it's more important to vaccinate as advised than to take a risk on a "maybe" as he calls it.
