Dangerous words

" to deliberately give a child measles in this day and age

is not only inappropriate, but it actually might be considered to be

criminal, because it's preventable. "

Sheri

" Joanne , MD, associate chief of general pediatrics at

Children's Hospital Boston, in Massachusetts, told Medscape Medical News

that parents' concerns about autism are understandable although

misguided.

" I've been in practice for more than 20 years and I almost never

used to see cases of autism, and now I frequently see it in children I've

cared for since birth, " she said. " There is something in the

environment ­ plastics, chemicals, who knows. Parents are scared and

looking for answers and blame vaccines, but there is no credible evidence

linking vaccination to autism. "

Some parents hoping to avoid mandatory vaccinations even go so far as to

deliberately expose their children to the infection at " measles

parties. " As one such mother told The New York Times in April,

" I refuse to sacrifice my children for the greater

good. "

Neal Halsey, MD, director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety at

the s Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore,

land, told this reporter in April that " to deliberately

give a child measles in this day and age is not only inappropriate, but

it actually might be considered to be criminal, because it's

preventable. "
