2nd blog

Well apparently it didn't save this the last time I wrote it, so...take two :(

The most interesting source I had found was the review of a meeting held by the US House of Representatives. The main speaker told the audience about his grandchild, who he believes developed autism from a flu vaccine, so he was very adamant about the subject. The meeting went on as he shared many statistics from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and explained that not enough funding has been provided for more research into the possible dangers of vaccines.

My topic hasn't really changed since I've started researching, because there is enough conversation about this topic going around. I don't really think I should narrow my topic down to a certain type of vaccine, because many of them have thimerosal (the potentially-harmful preservative found in a lot of vaccines).

The only trouble I've had with this assignment thus far is finding sources to challenge the argument that vaccines may cause autism. It's very easy to find people that believe vaccines are harmful, but it's a little harder to research evidence showing that they are not harmful.
