The Doctors debate: As measles make a nationwide comeback, are parents who refuse to vaccinate their children contributing to the problem? Or are the vaccinations more dangerous than the disease itself? Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, shares the toll a vaccination allegedly took on her son Chris, who immediately after being vaccinated with a DPT shot suffered a convulsion, went into shock and lost consciousness. He was later diagnosed with brain damage and attention-deficit disorder.

Julia Berle’s son Baxter was vaccinated when he was 12 months old and Julia believes that he developed autism because of it. She cautions against the one-size-fits-all vaccination approach. Instead, Julia encourages parents to view a vaccination as a medical procedure and ask that the vaccine be individualized for their child. Dr. Tanya Altman from the American Academy of Academics advocates the use of vaccines and warns that without vaccines, disease spreads.
