A Question of Harm
Childhood vaccinations save countless lives. Potential killers such as small pox and diphtheria are virtually things of the past in this country, thanks in large part to our nation's aggressive immunization programs. So how is it that some now see vaccines as a possible threat? The answer lies in a question: what's behind the puzzling jump in the number of children being diagnosed with autism? Science has not come up with any conclusive answer…but some parents-- and a few physicians-- believe there may be a link between certain vaccines and autism. Liam Reynolds' parents are among that group. By his first birthday Liam was walking and talking. Shortly after routine childhood vaccinations, his parents and doctor say his behavior changed dramatically. Liam began to disappear into his own world and was later diagnosed as autistic. The Reynolds' are part of a growing grass roots movement that want the right to choose when, how, and even if, their children are vaccinated. It's a controversy between government policy and parents' rights, between the public good and the potential risks to an individual child. CNN & TIME's Linda Pattillo talks with the Reynolds and their son's doctor, who believes that some children's immune systems may react adversely to vaccinations. On the other side of the debate, representatives from the American Academy of Pediatrics and Merck Pharmaceuticals say that there is no scientific evidence of a link between autism and vaccines.
