1 - the use of aborted tissue in vaccines. If this is true, it raises a valid moral question.
2 - the allegation that vaccination causes autism. This is completely unproven and borders on a hysteria.
Even IF there were a tiny chance of vaccination causing autism, I would still take that chance for my kids over the chance of their catching diptheria, pertussis, measles, etc. if those diseases make a comeback.
It's easy to say "don't vaccinate!" when neither you, nor any of your friends and family, have ever had experience with any of these killer diseases. The reason you've never had that experience is that vaccination has effectively wiped them out.
