This is really interesting. And very sad too. I have no theories on what could be causing this (if it is even happening - they're still gathering numbers). But these people have been through a lot in their lives and those affected by this really need more help now. It is sad to me that the anti-vaccine groups are almost praying on their need for more help or answers. At least that is the impression I got. They're using the opportunity to push their agenda.

I wish there was more opportunity for parents to know what their options were without special-interest groups pushing their point of view on them.

Yes, it really is sad. And it's no wonder so many parents can get so desperate too.
