does that mean to you? >> no, so what you hear with many parents, and my son is one of these, is that the children are developing typically, in my son's case, up to 14 months, was normal, then they have a regression. they start to lose skills. lose milestones. i've personally probably talked to over 1,000 parents where that regression took place immediately following a vaccine appointment. i think it's important for parents to understand, children are given 36 vaccines in the u.s. by the time they reach the age of 5. the mmr is only 2 of those 36 shots. typically the shots are given simultaneously. so an average child will get six vaccines in a single appointment. yet we don't have a single piece of research to understand the potential risk of all those vaccines at once. so when someone tries to tell me mmr alone doesn't cause autism but i take my child in for a vaccine appointment with 6 shots in 10 minutes, how am i supposed to feel reassured?
