Mercury in Childhood Disease Vaccines May Cause Autism, Some Say

Information claiming mercury in vaccines doesn't cause autism comes from sources tied to those who manufacture the vaccines. Is that similar to having the fox to guard the hen house?

For a long time I've wondered why it's so necessary for all the tots to have alltheir shots? I know the stock answer, "so there won't be the spread of childhood disease" or something similar. If that's the reason then I need someone to answer the following question. If every child, and all their family have been vaccinated, because that's their choice and they believe that vaccination is the answer, how is it possible to contract any of the diseases their child and the entire family was vaccinated against, from another child or adult who wasn't vaccinated? Even if another child gets a disease and goes to school during the infectious stage? If you're vaccinated, and that's the answer, how is it possible to get the disease?

There is a theory that suppression of childhood diseases leads to worse, and sometimes unknown, diseases later in life. That will never be proven because there are no trails, as such, leading back to childhood, but on the other hand, it can't be disproved either for the same reason. Each of us has to decide that for ourselves. What's the percentage of kids whose parents chose to send them to alternative schools or home school them, because they don't believe in random and massive vaccinations, who get those childhood diseases? Why do some get so outraged and pass laws that have no basis in reasoning? Why are we so quick to give away our freedoms and expect others to do the same? Why do we want to imprison those who we feel don't see what we see, when we haven't looked at all the information from all sides of the question? Why do we blindly accept another's opinion as gospel?
