A generation of stolen children

I saw a link today to this: http://buggydoo.blogspot.com/2005/07/i-am-very-sad-today.html
which really struck home with me. I followed her link to this:

Go read it. Really, read the whole thing.

It just makes me so sick and so sad. I have three children who fall into what they're describing as the "Thimerosal Generation". I've kept two of them safe. I wish I'd known more before the first one was born.

I never even considered not vaccinating Katie. I wasn't really aware of the possibility of a link between vaccination and autism or other problems, and I feel somewhat guilty for not being more informed.

The fact that Katie has ADD and a learning "difference" (not quite a disability) has had me blaming myself, worrying about every soda or other "not healthy" thing I consumed while pregnant with her. They might have happened anyway, though. In fact, I seriously believe her father had that same learning difference, and that his life would have been far happier if it had been diagnosed and treated properly. (If her father were alive, I know that he wouldn't waste a heartbeat considering whether anything he ever did might have had any negative affect on her (including using cocaine and marijuana).)

I'm rambling - sorry.
