Review for Generation Rescue Inc, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA
I'm sorry, but how did this become one of the best Nonprofits of 2013? The originator of the vaccine/autism link was found to have falsified and distorted his research. There has been no link found between vaccines and autism. In fact the USA has suffered from a startling reappearance of diseases that we had all but eliminated from the population and these outbreaks can be directly linked to populations that are refusing to vaccinate their children due to fears that organizations like McCarthy's have perpetuated. Everybody wants to help autistic children, but we do not need to cause unborn babies to die or be born horribly disfigured because McCarthy managed to scare already worried parents into believing that there is a straight forward cause. Any organization that spreads such scares and helps cause these outbreaks we have seen is reckless and amoral. This is an organization I could never support.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
drop the vaccine/autism connection and focus entirely on helping children with autism thrive and flourish while also raising funds for actual research into the causes of autism, of which there is plenty of excellent and legitimate studies underway as I type this.
