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

I have also seen a young man who played quarterback in high school become a schizophrenia from vaccinations.
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.

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.
I am sure that parents such as the following thought that they were doing their children a favor as well. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/70/4/582.short[^]
He does not understand causality. He saw two kids who were vaccinated be diagnosed with autism, and nothing will stop him from believing they are linked events. Science is bad, apparently. Anecdotal evidence beats the scientific method.

nor is there any evidence to suggest that might be true.
There is so much evidence, I even pointed you to the google search which showed the results and you still deny it. That's fine. The risk is not high, but it is there.

any real research
I have 5 kids. We have researched this beyond what you know. I have seen both sides of the argument. You have only seen the one side. How can you make a logical decision based on that.

Eyewitness. How more real can you get.

I don't even own a TV. If I had to guess the media is all for vaccinations so what is that supposed to mean?

I just hope your child never gets a mental disorder or worse, from vaccinations.
They won't, simply because it's impossible. Heresay is not proof. The scientific method provides proof. Here's a question - do you think the government knows about this claim of yours and either planned it, or just does not care ?

Stick to your science.
Damn straight. You reject science, outright ? It's the best tool we have to know what is true and to plan for the best outcomes for everyone.

When it is proven wrong
You misunderstand science. The idea of science is to prove existing science wrong, and to further knowledge. That is the point. It's just not happened, in this case.

There are studies that show autism is linked to vaccines and there are studies to show it is not. Who cares?
Everyone should care. Some of those studies are clearly wrong. Which ones follow a proper scientific method and open themselves to peer review ?
ryanb31 wrote:
If people do not want to vaccinate their children leave them alone. What do you care?
So long as they home school their kids and keep them out of public places, I don't care what they choose, they have a right to harm their children, sadly. They should not have the right to harm mine.
ryanb31 wrote:
but your original comment was calling people who do not vaccinate "loonies.
Again, damn straight. Anyone who looks at the science, will know this is true.
ryanb31 wrote:
I have a lot of friends who do not vaccinate and they think you are loony. So what?
Again, in a world where all that matters is respecting everyone's opinion, you are right. But, in the real world, evidence matters, reality matters. No amount of the 'right to an opinion' should lead to the death of a child with responsible parents. But I would agree that some unfortunate events in your circle have blinded you

They don't care. It's called acceptable loss. The government knows about a lot of things that are harmful to us, and they don't care.

Not at all. Not even close. I greatly respect science. And if you would have followed some of the links I provided earlier there is scientific evidence to link vaccines and mental disorders.

If they were proper and they prove your view point then your earlier point that science proves science wrong is also wrong. You are contradicting yourself. You are on the science bandwagon.

So, you expect me to put my child at risk of severe brain disorder or even death just so your little kid doesn't get the flu? You're a taker in this relationship. That is very lopsided. "Anyone who looks at the science, will know this is true." and "The idea of science is to prove existing science wrong". Can you not see how insane your argument is? You are saying that it's true, until it is later proven false. Truth is eternal, it doesn't change. I could also come after you for not teaching your children proper principles about God. In my point of view, you are damaging your children and doing them harm. But, I know you are trying to do the best you can with what knowledge you have so I don't judge you. Get off their backs.

The way science works, is not through heresay. Give me a link that explains the mechanism by which this is caused, and a peer reviewed study that proves that autism is higher in kids who are vaccinated, and that other potential causes have been considered, and I will read it.

So you're backing away from claiming I am letting my kids down by not raising them to know about God, just like you ran for cover from the claim that I know nothing about autism ? So, your claim in a nutshell is that your own powers of observation ( which is how humans decided the world was flat and the sky was a canvas with holes in it to let the light of God through ) are better than the scientific method ( which proved these ideas false and thus moved us further in our understanding of the universe ) ?

Nope. Didn't say that. Science recently did a study stating that drinking wine is good for you. Now, I have a brain so I know that drinking alcohol damages my liver so clearly the study is wrong. The part of wine that is good for you is in the grapes, so drinking grape juice is good for you but the alcohol is not. But you believe it because science said it was so and there is "proof." You have to take what science gives you and then apply reason to it. You can't just take it blindly, because as even you admitted, it is often wrong.

Not even close. In the first hand, I said that science is the best tool we have because it admits it can be wrong and improves in what it knows, using proven methodologies to separate facts from assumptions and theories. In the second, I never came close to saying 'it's all I have', and in fact when you accused me of raising my kids without knowing God, I intimated that this is not the case at all. Having a belief in a higher power does not excuse or explain deliberate ignorance. You're jumping from topic to topic, avoiding any where it's clear your assumptions are wrong, yet assuming I must be wrong because I disagree with you. I asked you for a link to credible research, and defined what I mean by that, and said I would read it. I take it that no link being offered means that you know that any research you trust, fails the test of openness and rigour, which only proves why I should not trust it.

Not really. A focus group paid for by wine sellers found this. The tannins in wine are good for you, but they are also in grape juice. And science has proven that anyone who does a study, will try to come up with the results their employer wants, even if they try to be impartial. That's why impartial science is always best, not vested interest studies.

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 association with vaccination. The onset of schizophrenia is classically in the late teens and early 20s. Symptoms of autism (a very different disorder) can become apparent very early but they usually manifest most clearly around age 2. Because of these confounding factors we are left to rely on a HUGE body of information with large epidemiological studies that causally fails to support the hypothesis that vaccinations cause/reveal/exacerbate autism. And I've seen dozens and dozens of schizophrenics and autism spectrum patients so I guess my "personal experience" should trump yours too? But since I'm part of the medical profession I guess I'm the enemy because I would rather kids not get measles encephalitis as a result of avoiding vaccinations based on a faulty premise.

Thank you for supporting my point. The girl I refer to was 12 years old when this happened. She was perfectly normal and within days of getting a shot she couldn't speak, act, etc, and was then diagnosed autistic. I realize popular studies don't support this, it's always about money, but I have seen it. That trumps anything you have not seen.

One, anecdotal evidence might lead to a theory but is seldom (or perhaps never) evidence of causality. Two, a relationship by itself is never proof of causality. If it was everyone would need to start drinking and smoking (since at one time the worlds oldest man did both.) Three, vaccinations do not cause autism. Period. Vaccinations have side effects but that is not one. And that in proven, not conjecture.
ryanb31 wrote:

Per your other statements - your are correct in that you do not have the answer. Many relationships have been assumed to be causal because someone got sick, That however IGNORES the fact that there are many potential causes in day to day life and also ignores the KNOWN property that one can always find causality if one chooses the right group. Statistics, the science of statistics, goes to great lengths to determine how to avoid that.
ryanb31 wrote:

You mean a reputable source that actually is a doctor. And one that actually looks at the studies? Yes that is the source. Sigh...I suggest that you look up the "research" of the effects of cow urine which besides curing all known types of cancer also causes other ills as well. You will find that the "reseach" has even been published. I have no problem with someone wishing to believe in the healing power of prayer, voodoo or dancing around a stump in the woods at midnight. But none of those is supported by scientific knowledge. Just like your belief is not. Although it is quite possible that rather than having a positive belief you are allowing nothing but fear to drive your decisions.
