Subject: Re: Annoyed Author: Dora (annoyed) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:46:58 10/10/07 Wed In reply to: Shelly 's message, "Re: Annoyed" on 07:05:31 10/10/07 Wed I agree, just because someone is famous doesn't mean you should believe every word that comes out of their mouth. It's just easier to hear what they have to say because they have all that media attention. I trust that Jenny M. has done her research, but I trust that a pediatrician has had more research, education, and experience in dealing with MANY children, not just the one. I'm sure Emma Kelly will be fine, just discuss everything you know with your doctor, and educate yourself, so YOU can be the expert on your child. :) >I agree 100% There is no proven link between autism >and vaccines. Since no one knows what causes it "they" >are just looking for something to blame it on. And >Kari, sure pediatricians don't know everything but >they know more than the average person and movie >stars. They see thousands of kids. There is a big >window in which kids reach milestones and people >shouldn't get so worked up about who does what first >or last.
