Susan,

after my eldest daughter got her DPT vaccination, she stopped breathing that night.

what if you had not vaccinated your child that day? Then what would you blame the autism on?

The research has already been done. There is no link to autism. You do not appear to understand what keeping your mind open means.

brand new baby brains may not be developed enough to handle a virus being put into their bodies.

The vaccine does not go into the brain. If they injected your baby’s brain maybe there is a connection to seizures, but that is not the way vaccines are given. The chemical contents of the vaccines are tiny. The baby needs the vaccine before exposure to the illness. All of the illnesses vaccinated against with DPT are potentially fatal and they seem to be returning, due to the refusal of parents to vaccinate their children.
