If you have autism in the family history, you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out.
About This Quote
Interpretation
The statement urges continued vaccination even when a family has a history of autism, while suggesting a more cautious schedule (“delay it a bit, space them out”). It reflects a pragmatic, risk-management posture: protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases is treated as non-negotiable, but the timing can be individualized to address parental anxiety or perceived vulnerability. The quote also sits within a broader public debate in which autism has been wrongly linked to vaccines; by saying “you still vaccinate,” it rejects outright refusal. At the same time, the recommendation to alter timing can be read as an attempt to reconcile public-health guidance with family concerns, though it may be at odds with standard immunization schedules.
