all these opinions...

how come only some people's opinions are acceptable while others are not?

In a nutshell.... ..there was a story line about a mom with three kids....the oldest having autism. She had decided to not vaccinate the other two and the middle child gets measles. Lots of talk from all the docs how they should call CPS, she is a child abuser etc, even Dell, the office manager/midwife gets on board and tries to get full custody of his child after he finds out his ex doesn't know if the child's shots are up to date. Then a predictable ending, the child with measles dies......as if that is the certain outcome if you do not vaccinate your kids. Big load of fear mongering.>> what was it about?> > [Texas-Autism- Advocacy] Private Practice> > > Did anyone else just watch Private Practice??

All

The episode of Private Practice enraged me too. It was so one sided! So

pro-vaccines and anyone who thinks otherwise is just a bad Mother. I switched

off. I have to remind myself on a daily basis that I didnt do this to my son,

but it is just his gift and even with his issues he does have many gifts..

Programs like that just spread doubt in my mind and it just isnt healthy.

Keep positive everyone. Our Children are GIFTS in themselves!
