Vaccination scares in the media

You know, we try to be diligent about balancing a whole-foods/all-natual lifestyle with scientific progression, and sometimes those views crash into each other.  For example, while I do feel some vaccinations are very important (MMR, Polio, Hepatitis), I think others are complete crap, like the flu shot.  I like to think I read the medical journals when they come out (the ones that make the news/social media feeds at least) but the problem I have is…I do not have a medical degree.  The problem is…data can be skewed toward whichever way the writer is leaning.  The problem is…I don’t know how to filter the good from the bad, the real from the false.

Case in point, there is a lot of scare for the vaccinations causing Autism.  Then a few years ago, the lead doctor who found the correlation basically said he made the whole thing up.  Then today I read that there was another payout for a child who the courts determined became autistic due to the MMR vaccine.  So, with all this information, how the heck am I supposed to decide what is the correct course of action?

A lot of the homesteading blog writers I read do not vaccinate their kids.  They point to graphs that show disease was on a decline before vaccinations ever came about, and if it was good enough for our pioneers, it’s good enough for them.  Of course, then you have the other side that completely debunks those graphs with more science.  I would like to think that science has progressed to the point where we would see some benefits that improved our health over and above what our pioneering forefathers had access to.

But honestly, at this point, who the hell knows?
