"There was no word for 'autism' in the Somali language before immigrating to America. It didn't exist in their children. And now, they have the highest rate of 'autism' in the U.S.  They knew measles, and now they know 'autism.'  Anyone who knows both would most certainly choose measles. If this "outbreak" really is due to vaccine refusal? We need to stand up and thank the Somali community for having the courage to do what so many won't. They are protecting their children from genocide. That should come as no surprise. That's how they got here in the first place. They recognize genocide when they see it. Who can blame them for refusing to go through it again?"  ~  Marcella Piper-Terry
