Here is a report about teens who defy their parents to get vaccinated:

I truly am in favor of allowing people the right to give their informed consent prior to being vaccinated, circumcised (male and female), or undergoing other such irreversible procedures.
But can a minor (or even an infant) legally give "informed" consent? I don't think so. For certain things, we have to rely on someone to give the OK, and hopefully they will know what they are doing.
Here is a question for you - has anyone done a survey to determine if children with autism spectrum disorder are PRO-vax or ANTI-vax? Do THEY think vaccination is a good idea? Shouldn't their opinion matter more than yours or mine?
