    the loonies who think vaccinations cause autism, etc.

    Not only have there been studies to confirm that autism is a possible side-effect but I have seen it first hand. A young healthy normal girl that we have known for years became autistic after getting immunizations one year. Why do you think they are completely safe? What evidence do you have?

    Actually quite a well popular study that showed that in the UK. Of course the doctor that did it was being paid in connection with a lawyer that was looking to sue for companies for autism. The research was later withdrawn and the doctor is currently under criminal indictment in the UK. Is that the "study" you had in mind? There are no reputable studies that show that. There are in fact reputable studies (plural) that show it isn't true.

    Which only demonstrates that you know knowing about autism nor science.

    Have you ever heard of google? When someone understands how to use it, to really use it, one can actually find reliable information versus alarmist lies. Following is one excellent article not only because it is fully available on the internet but because it addresses (presumably) some of those specific studies that you claim exist. http://immunizenow.org/shared/content/takeyourbestshot/Adolescent%20Immunization%20Toolkits/Influenza%20Resources/Flu%20Info%20for%20providers/Vaccines%20and%20autism.pdf[^] However there are many other articles as well.

      Quite clear that they are. Immunizations can have side effects. Autism is not one of them. I am rather certain that more children die and are seriously injured by being driven to school by their parents than via immunizations. By your logic those parents should be hiring professional drivers.

        I agree, swimming is not 100% safe. But would you flagrantly criticize someone who chooses to not let their kids swim because of their beliefs? It's fine for you to vaccinate your kids. That is your right. But you seem very upset over those who disagree with you.

        Quote:

        That's an ironic statement. Everyone that I know personally who is against vaccines has done a lot of research. The more research you do on vaccines the more you see how high the risks are. You're right in that more disease may be prevented than caused by vaccines but the risk is still there. Why hate on those that aren't willing to take that risk for their kids?

        Specious. EVERYTHING has a risk. By your argument if those parents are 'protecting' their children then they should never let them leave the house. And activities in the house should be curtailed as well. Such as locking them in an empty room. Perhaps strapped to a board to keep them from moving around.

        One obvious possibility is that they do not in fact know how to do "research". Or do not in fact know how to understand it. Any one that does would know that the risks are very low (and autism is NOT a risk.) They would also know how HIGH the risk was for not doing it.

        Why hate someone who locks their child in a room and never lets them leave? Why hate someone who lets their child beat puppies to death with a rock or who sells heroin at their school?

            You need to read what I wrote. I said you are wrong in assuming someone who chooses not to vaccinate is being selfish. I have seen a healthy young girl become autistic because of vaccinations. I have also seen a young man who played quarterback in high school become a schizophrenia from vaccinations. These are 2 people that I personally have known for years. I have seen what can happen from vaccinations. That is way more powerful than any "study" that can be done. You go ahead and vaccinate your children. I disagree with you but I am not going to criticize you because I know you are trying to be the best parent you know how. But don't do you dare call my a selfish "a**hole" because I love my kids the same as you and therefore I choose not to vaccinate them.

            There is NO causality. It has been PROVEN that there is no causality. Immunizations to NOT pose a risk for autism. Period.

            Nonsense. I can only suppose that you do not understand causality. Alternatively provide a medical journal article that shows a risk from the specific immunization with that specific effect.

                      I have seen it. You can Google all day long and try to pretend like it does not happen, but I have seen it with mine own eyes. Twice. Get some hard evidence. All you have is research done by the medical industry. No wonder you can't see the truth.

                          Bloody hell. What a pile of crap. Let me explain some things here 1 - correlation is not causality. Vaccinations occur before it's possible to know if someone is autistic. The child was already autistic. This is because: 2 - you can't CATCH autism, nor is there any known mechanism to make it occur post birth. It's a condition of brain development ( there is some thought that it's a form of hyper masculinity ). As such, nothing can cause it.

                              Yes, that's right. If you get immunised, then the possibility of dying of a preventable disease is greatly diminished. That's why we do it. And the correlation is far greater than the random correlation you find because you look for it, with autism.

                                the loonies who think vaccinations cause autism, etc.

                                Not only have there been studies to confirm that autism is a possible side-effect but I have seen it first hand. A young healthy normal girl that we have known for years became autistic after getting immunizations one year. Why do you think they are completely safe? What evidence do you have?

                                  his definition is the scientific one. It means a study that was done where the methods are published and subject to peer review. It's the ONLY definition.

                                  Correlation is not causality. People get sick all the time. Some people are autistic, but autism is not evident from birth ( there are some potential indicators, if you look for them, but it's not evident ). It IS true that a small number of people get sick when immunised. A much larger number of people die from not being immunised. That is the trade off, it's not a perfect world. But no child has ever 'caught autism', not from a vaccination, a toilet seat, or a blow to the head.

                                  The great thing about the web is that if you search not for the facts, but for studies that prove your point of view, you're bound to find something. That's because science is the new religion, you need the blessing of science and not the gods to convince people nowadays, so anyone with an axe to grind, will come up with a 'study'.

                                    Bloody hell. What a pile of crap. Let me explain some things here 1 - correlation is not causality. Vaccinations occur before it's possible to know if someone is autistic. The child was already autistic. This is because: 2 - you can't CATCH autism, nor is there any known mechanism to make it occur post birth. It's a condition of brain development ( there is some thought that it's a form of hyper masculinity ). As such, nothing can cause it.

                                    How intelligent. I have seen it happen, more than once. The girl was not autistic. She was 12 when this happened. And the young man I know who had the similar issue was 20 when it happened.

                                    You even admit no one knows everything about it, yet you claim to know it can't develop from chemicals in the body.

                                      Yes, that's right. If you get immunised, then the possibility of dying of a preventable disease is greatly diminished. That's why we do it. And the correlation is far greater than the random correlation you find because you look for it, with autism.

                                      Are you a father? If so, you are telling me that you would rather risk a mental disorder or even death for your child just so they don't get the flu? If that is the case, fine, you're doing the best you can. I disagree but I don't hate you for it.

                                          Again, correlation is not causality. There are things we're learning about the nature of autism, but we know it's caused in the womb, there's no question of that. I've read widely on autism and my wife works with autistic children. My knowledge goes a little deeper than the sort of pseudo science spread by vaccination scare mongers. I'm sorry you know someone whose autism was discovered at 12, but the odds of vaccination causing it, are zero. This is a proven fact. Proven facts trump personal experience mixed with conjecture. That's how science works. Are you claiming that because we don't know everything about something, that we must know nothing ?
