My husband woke me up at 5am one morning. He was so troubled over what he saw in youtube.com that he needed to stir me up from my sleeping. It was a video clip of a boy with Autism. He was so moved by the video that he began to look up about the illness. To his surprised, some claimed that Autism is triggered of vaccines. And to some specifics, it was the MMR vaccine they pointed out.

MMR (Mumps-Measles-Rubella) vaccine protects our children to these diseases. But why was the issue raised against this vaccine that’s supposed to protect our kids and not hurt them? My two-year-old son already had his shot of MMR. And it bothered us a little though he’s good and healthy. Are vaccines safe? Will it be safe for the kids not to get vaccination?

I take pride of making sure that my child gets all the shots. I feel it is important to protect my baby from all deadly diseases. But these issues arises suspicion. I came upon autismpinoy.com and they have a slogan that says; ” it’s your child, it’s your choice.” But what are the choices? Should have i gone back to college and finish my BS in Chem Engg to be able to understand the chemical compounds and elements of my child’s vaccines?

Also the misleading presentation of Infant Formula Milk has caused an alarm to parents. We always wanted to give all but the best to our children. Reading can labels and trusting enough to TV commercials and ads of these products is but being irresponsible. But how to check and understand them?

This is a farce and the government, or whoever is responsible for public health safety, should look into this matter.
