MMR Vaccine: Do you believe childhood vaccines are safe?

75% Yes
25% No

Comment: Something is definitely going on that is causing autism. It seems to go in waves, some age groups have much higher incidences. Could it be a HOT batch of MMR? Seems to me that children born in 2000-2001 - there was a definite increase in autistic behaviors. Not all are diagnosed. from North Escambia, FL by Teacher

Comment: there may be risks, but history has proven the vaccines work. we must look at all the diseases that no longer are a threat to our children. from ft. walton beach by rebecca

Comment: no the dollar is put above life again.this is a to big to fell.the law suites would never stop.jest like aids the the u.s. did.no acountable. from mary esther fl by george

Comment: It was thought that the mercurial ingredient used as a preservative was the causitive factor for autism. The compound has been removed from the vaccine and children are still getting autism. from Pensacola, FL by Charles

Comment: I guess people who say no, never lived through the days of polio. No one should deprive thier child of something that could help.IF the danger of not getting a vacine is life threatening. from Pensacola,FL by Flower

Comment: If they weren't safe, our supreme leader Obama would not allow them. Trust in Obama and support him in 2012. from east hill by Mike

Comment: I feel so sorry for the skeptics of this world that are adament that everything in the world is against them. The agencies we have (in this country), in spite of the US Congress, do a superb job in watching out for the health of us all. Just go to Haiti, and see first hand the results of not having any medical 'watchdog' (before or after the quake). from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom

Comment: We've known for more than 30 years these vaccines cause brain damage. There's no proof that they don't cause brain damage. Pharmaceutical Cos. have the CDC and FDA in their vest pocket. I'd like to see more investigative reporting from ya'll instead of who shot whom. Or is that just for world news reporters? from MIlton, FL by Kat

Comment: There are no absolutes in healthcare, but the gains we have had in Pubic Health outweigh the risks associated with the vaccines. from Pensacola, Fl by John

Comment: this study did kinda sounded weird in the first place...if the connection of having MMR is connected to autism...then why is this not addressed nor confirmed in other countries that do the same vaccines for their kids? if their studies do not show a connection...then why is it a problem here? from p'cola fl by h

Comment: It doesn't really matter what people "believe" (or have been led to believe) because the scientific and medical studies clearly show that vaccines are safe and benefit the public interest. from Pensacola Beach, FL by Mike
