I was born in September, my three children were born in September and October. I have twelve other relatives and friends born in September, October, or early November. No asthma, no autism, no allergies. Everyone very healthy, young and old. The key point is--none of us were born in Tennessee!

Excellent! I was just going to say that. Perhaps it's the lack of pollution controlled state of TN that is the trigger to the childrens' illnesses.

Perhaps the mothers in TN just don't know that they need to eat healthy when pregnant....oh there are thousands of factors to take into consideration.

Infants born in fall are also at greater risk for autism. The two things relate. In 2000, a New Zealand study found increased incidence of asthma among children receiving the pertussis vaccine as opposed to those never vaccinated:

Even in epidemiological studies (population based studies inappropriate for purpose) designed by vaccine industry insiders to ostensibly exonerate vaccines (particularly the maligned pertussis, which has also been linked to the development of peanut and severe food allergies) , the HepB and HiB shots were still found to have "association" to increased risk: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/439840

Also, a Dutch survey of vaccinated and never vaccinated children found an increase in both asthma and autism among vaccinated children. There have been many studies regarding vaccine acquired anaphylaxis, severe food and airborne allergies.

That vaccinated children who are born in fall have increased risk of vaccine-induced adverse events across the board doesn't seem to be fully understood. I've read theories ranging from vitamin D deficiencies in pregnant women, to theories of precipitation contributing added environmental toxins at the time of vaccination leading to increased risk of adverse events. One explanation could be that infants born in the fall in temperate climates are somewhat more likely to be sick from minor childhood illnesses when receiving their first, second and third series of shots in the winter, increasing their risk of negative reaction.

Great info. Thanks. My son needs 2 more vaccines, or else they won't let him into school. I am so worried, as the next shot he needs has all kinds of chemicals in it including formaldahyde. I get so worried when I go to the doctor that I actually come home and take an anti anxiety pill becuse I am so against vaccines..... and so distrusting of the entire medical industry which has taken us hostage and makes us more sick than well.... for money.

Hmmm... an interesting article, but again, MORE vaccines? Let's hope when they create this one, it won't be REQUIRED like so many are now and what New Jersey is going through now with the mandated Flu Vaccine.

I have 5 year old twin boys. One twin was diagnosed with Autism in August 2007 shortly after they turned 4 years old. By the time our twins reached 4 years old, they had received 34 vaccines!

When I went through this with my daughter 20 years ago, she had only received 9 vaccines by the time she hit 5 years old!

Don't get me wrong though. I am NOT against ALL vaccines, but I am against mandated vaccines like the Flu vaccine and should be a parental choice.

One size does NOT fit all when it comes to vaccines.

I'm sorry to hear about your son. I can't believe it is MANDATED in Jersey. I lived there for 28 years and am glad I didn't have my son there.

The flu vaccine is one of the last few that STILL CONTAINS MERCURY.....and perhaps may have contributed to your child's autism.
