    Science is still the best possible tool to know things.

    Your opinion. I don't have to wait for science to prove something that I observe.

    Quote:

    Random theories and made up stories are not a 'source' in any meaningful way.

    True. Not sure why you brought that up. None of my "theories" are random and none of my stories are made up.

    Quote:

    you're choosing to be ignorant.

    I tell you that I have seen vaccines cause brain damage, the CDC website says they can, and you continue to deny it. You are deliberately ignorant.

    Quote:

    is believed,

    It's believed, not proven. Thank you. Oh, but you'll say "through known mechanisms." Somehow that changes belief? Is seeing someone develop a brain disorder an unknown mechanism? Is that why you won't accept it? Observation is not a known mechanism? I thought everyone knew about it. I am being very sarcastic because you are blowing my mind with how ridiculous your statements are. You constantly contradict yourself and everything you say boils down to "I am right because I know I am." You have nothing.

    Quote:

    causality by a known mechanism.

    Oh, OK. So using causality is only OK for you. Because a known mechanism. So, observation is not a known mechanism?

    Quote:

    And science does that.

    Science helps with that. Before Newton had his theory on gravity don't you think people knew that something would fall if they dropped it? Well, how in the world could they have possibly known that if science hadn't proven it yet? Simple observation. Something a 2 year old can understand and for some reason you can't.

    Quote:

    you saw a correlation and assumed a causality.

    As did you. You even admit that it is believed they are related. Not proven, just believed even with "known mechanisms." The fact of the matter is the CDC itself admits they can cause brain damage.

    I don't make the mistake of assuming that i've 'observed' something when I've seen two different events and not a causal chain. If I see you hit someone, and they fall down, that's a chain. If I hear you fart, and someone falls down, that's not a chain, it's an assumption of causality.

    Your theory is not random in the sense that you didn't make it up, you chose to believe a theory that has been proven wrong. Your made up story is not that your friend has an autistic child, but that you have any reason beyond random stories that you read to believe it was caused by a vaccination.

    So you actually got inside this girl's head and saw this occur ? You didn't just see two events and ASSUME they were tied ?

    ryanb31 wrote:

    And yet I still have no link from you. This proves beyond all doubt in my mind that this is a case of cognitive dissonance. You gave me a link to anyone who claimed what you claim, I've asked for one credible link and you won't give it. Deep down, you know it does not exist, but you keep defending it. I doubt very much that the CDC web site says that a vaccination can cause autism. Autism does NOT work that way.

    ryanb31 wrote:

    It's not a mechanism, it's an effect. Explaining the mechanisms that cause effects, is what science does, and what you can't do.

    It's a mechanism for learning, yes. But observing two random events is not the same as observing the mechanism by which it's believed that one causes another.

      There is a path of causality here, the deaths prove a theory

      No, all they do is prove the theory may have some merit. It is not proof. It is still belief.

      Is English not your native language? Why do you continue to act intelligent and then change what I say? I have never said it was deliberate.

      You gave me a link to a search that was designed to present your view, willy nilly. Give me one study to read.

      I was pretty sure in one of my many message to you I shared this.[^]I believe you ignored it but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, even though you don't deserve that after so much nonsense. This link is to the CDC. I know you are not in America so you may not understand but they order the vaccines and they are the foremost experts on vaccines and the foremost advocates for them and they admit they can cause brain damage. How much more evidence do you want?

      Not in the US. The risk of actually dying from a disease in the US from being unvaccinated is extremely low.

      It is, at least, the best theory we have to explain it.

      If scientists know that vaccinations cause autism, and hide it to make money, how is that not deliberate ?

      OK, they have no basis in REAL evidence. They have the veneer of pseudo science.

      ryanb31 wrote:

      Perhaps. Perhaps I remembered the link to 'proof that vaccinations cause autism' and the hits it got, and ignored it, and then later asked. Severe Problems (Very Rare) Serious allergic reaction (less than 1 out of a million doses) Several other severe problems have been reported after DTaP vaccine. These include: Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness Permanent brain damage. These are so rare it is hard to tell if they are caused by the vaccine. Less than one in a million doses - so rare that it's hard to tell if the occurrence is statistically significant for people who have the vaccine. Did you read all of that, or just the words 'brain damage' ? I knew that this was the case. I want something that actually states that kids who have vaccinations are more likely to be autistic than kids who do not. If this is not true, vaccinations never cause autism.

      Something more than 'less than one in a million, too low to know for sure if vaccinations are even the cause'.

        But if you think you know which bits we will have moved on from ( and this is not a BAD thing, it's how science works ), you need to prove it with evidence. In the meantime, the point is entirely that what we believe science has proven today is the state of human knowledge. There's enough tin foil hat wearing anti vaccers for you to get the data to prove that your kids have a lower incidence of autism than a group of vaccinated kids who are similar in other respects, so why don't you go ahead and do that ? Use the principles of science to expand human knowledge, either by proving or disproving your random theory ?

                  That would be tragic. However, there are natural cures for the flu and I would rather take that small risk and cure the flu naturally then take the small risk of developing a brain disorder, which may not have any cure.

                    Nice try. "But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely low." That is what the CDC says. They don't say it is impossible, which is what most of the responses to my messages have been. I have never argued against getting vaccines. There may be a great reason to vaccinate against yellow fever or polio. My point all along is there is risk of serious brain damage with vaccinations so someone who chooses not to do it is not crazy. Both sides have a valid argument.

                    Specious. You can claim that you could be in an automobile accident on the way to the doctor to get the vaccination. And it is quite possible that the risk for that is higher than the other risks you state.

                    They are. First, you are stating the point as thought is is a rational conclusion from the real evidence. A rational conclusion cannot exist using only using the negative outcomes. It must consider both sides. And for both sides it is either equal or favorable for taking it. Second you are ignoring the fact that many people are using "evidence" that is not in fact real evidence but rather just unsupported information gleaned from the web.

                        So, out of curiosity, how did they "prove" that autism cannot be caused by vaccines?

                        There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                          Maybe English is not your native language. From the CDC site: "But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.", "vaccines can cause side effects", "the risk of serious harm from the vaccine is extremely small.", "The risk of DTaP vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small." I'll stop there because that is way more evidence than is necessary. No where do they say they can't cause it. They know it can. Yes, it is small chance, but it is still a chance.

                              There's no such thing as negative proof. It goes the other way. If vaccinations cause autism, then kids who don't have vaccinations, will have a lower incidence of autism. The people claiming a cause need to find a statistical correlation, even if they don't know the mechanism for it. This[^] gives a summary with links.

                                    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.

                                    You say nothing can cause it, that is definitive. Yet, you admit there may be things about it we don't know. So, where is the proof?

Again, you are definitive, even though the CDC admits they can cause brain damage. Where's your proof? This is now 4 times I ask for your proof. Do you have any?

                                      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.

                                      You say nothing can cause it, that is definitive. Yet, you admit there may be things about it we don't know. So, where is the proof?

                                      but the odds of vaccination causing it, are zero. This is a proven fact.

                                      Where is the proof? You use definitive statements but do not show the proof.

Again, you are definitive, even though the CDC admits they can cause brain damage. Where's your proof? This is now 4 times I ask for your proof. Do you have any?

                                      You always look for negative proof. The fact is, there is no causality known, and it's know what autism is, it's know that it's in how the brain is structured. The brain does not restructure itself. You can't make someone gay any more than you can make them autistic.

                                      1 - brain damage is not autism 2 - if you look at the link you gave me, it says that there is an accepted possibility of risk, even though the risk is so small that it's impossible to get enough data to say that vaccines are in fact the cause. You're taking science, cherry picking half sentences, and misreading them.

                                      This is the bit that blows my mind. How can you claim that autism is CAUSED by vaccinations, but not see that if this is true, then vaccinated kids MUST have more autism ? If long term alcohol use causes memory loss, then the proof is that long term drinkers have more memory loss. If they don't, then why not, if alcohol should be causing it ? That's just basic common sense, which is why, as you say, even a 6 year old can see it.

                                      Wrong. Proven wrong, time and again. The person who claimed it, was a liar, trying to sell his own vaccine. He didn't claim that any vaccine could cause it, but a certain one that he wanted out of business. Read the link I sent.

                                        That was not proof. The link was about one specific type of vaccine and one specific type of brain disorder. Is that all the "proof" you have?

                                        I just gave you 3 of YOUR quotes where you made claims and so I ask for proof, and yet here I am, still waiting for it.

                                        Because there are an infinite number of other things that can cause memory loss. As an example, if there are 100 things that can cause memory loss, long term drinking one of them, and for whatever reason drinkers tend to only participate in 10 of the 100 items yet non-drinkers, for whatever reason, on average participate in 20 of the 100 items the non-drinkers will have a higher incidence.

                                          You're the one making claims. I am refuting them. I provided a link to back up my claim that your claim is bogus, but the onus of proof is on you. You claim xxx. I say it's not proven. You fail to offer proof. I don't need to disprove your claim, you need to prove it.

                                          Again, there's a tiny bit of evidence that some vaccinations might be implicated in some brain damage. You blow this fact out of all proportion, then tell me I need to prove you are wrong, when you can't prove you are right.

                                          I am confused. Are you really a programmer ? You're showing a complete lack of understanding of logic. Your claim, your onus for proof.

                                          This is not an example, it's vague waffle. This is why a large sample is needed, and the lack of a large sample ( because of the rarity of brain damage ) is the reason the claim for brain damage caused by vaccinations is so vague. A large sample will normalise for other potential differences.

                                          By your standards, my kids have been vaccinated and have no brain damage. That is as much proof as your claim based on observation and assumption.
