Ever heard of Generaton Rescue?
Me neither, at least, not until I read this interesting blog post by a Dourapple reader, Ruby.
Generation Rescue is a group of concerned parents who are convinced that neurological disorders like Autism, ADD/ADHD and Asperger’s are caused by an overload of heavy metals, bacteria and live viruses (as in vaccines).
The group runs controversial full page ads in The New York Times and USA Today, accusing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of carelessly approving too many vaccines for use on children.
According to the Generation Rescue Web site, the CDC recommended only 10 vaccines for children in 1983, and now, the CDC recommends 36. (See Generation Rescue’s comparison here.)
The group commissioned a research firm to survey more than 17,000 children in California and Oregon, comparing unvaccinated and vaccinated children. They say they found that vaccinated boys had a 155 percent greater chance of having a neurological disorder like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys. Read the results here. 
As Ruby pointed it out in her blog, it makes you wonder about who to trust. Doctors, big pharma and the government, or interest groups and testimonials from real people?
Thanks for taking an interest in my post! It’s certainly something to think about, for sure.
Perhaps the earth really is flat, too?
