    You said "or got a brain tumor from a polio vaccine". The CDC does NOT say that.

    Intelligent response. So, where is the proof that vaccines cannot cause brain damage?

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

      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.

        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.

        No. King Ferdinand's advisers turned down Columbus's proposal because they believed Columbus's sources to have underestimated the circumference of the earth (which they had), and hence the distance to India.

        - These are so rare it is hard to tell if they are caused by the vaccine. - But this happens so rarely, experts cannot be sure whether they are caused by the vaccine or not. - Because these problems occur so rarely, we can’t be sure whether they are caused by the vaccine or not.

              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.

                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. This is just an example but you keep speaking in definitives that are incorrect. So, keep it simple. I ask you what proof is there that vaccines cannot cause brain damage and all you have is "negative proof." If that is the case, I got some miracle liquid I want to sell you because no one has proved it is bad yet. You'll buy, right?

                  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.

                    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.

                    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?

                    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 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.

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

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. This is just an example but you keep speaking in definitives that are incorrect.

                    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.

                    Lame. I never said every kid would develop it. Serious? Do you know what logic is? So, you say that me asking you for proof that vaccinations are safe is a negative proof and the onus is on me? How stupid is that? If I told you to smoke cotton so that your kids won't get sick wouldn't you want proof? That's all I am asking. You say vaccines will keep your kids from getting sick and cannot cause brain damage. But where is the proof? Onus schmonus. You have none. I have asked now 5 times and you still refuse.

                      The CDC says it's possible for brain damage, but the incidence is so low, there's no way to know for sure. You keep dodging this fact, and the fact that autism is not brain damage.

                      Vaccinations are safe because there is no mechanism by which it is reasonable to suggest they are not, and there's no data to suggest that vaccinations are a significant cause of illness, temporary or permanent, compared to the very real and very clear benefit they offer. This is proven. You claim otherwise, in the face of evidence, and so yes, the onus is on you to prove your claim.

                      The proof is in the simple fact that there is no observable correlation between ANY form of brain damage and vaccinations. Even the CDC website says that.

                        That's not proof. You also can't understand clear English. You twist it to fit your beliefs. So, last time, do you have any actual proof? Any scientific proof? Just be a man and say no, and quit the back and forth wordsmithing.

                          Right, possible effects. For example: My oldest children had measles and, later, mumps vaccinations - no side effects. My youngest was just in time for the dreaded MMR - no side effects. This shows the CDC list to be only possible effects, not inevitable. Now the possible effects of measles in children (CDC again): Ear Infections 10% of cases; Diarrhea 8% of cases; Pneumonia 5% of cases; Death between 1 and 2 in every 1,000 cases; Encephalitis 1 in every 1,000 cases. An additional possible effect of measles contracted during childhood: Brain Damage (SSPE - a fatal degenerative disease, generally appears 7 to 10 years after infection) - 18 in every 100,000 cases when infected before 12 months old; - 1.1 in every 100,000 cases when infected after 5 years old. The Missus and I (unvaccinated) had measles in early childhood, but suffered none of the above. This shows the above CDC list to be only possible effects, not inevitable.

                            So wait - you're saying that there is no proof either way, so we should assume the worst and do nothing to protect our kids from infections ? The CDC website speaks to the amount of proof that exists today, which is a vague suggestion that cannot be verified. As such, the proof I can offer is that it's not possible to prove that the danger you claim to exist, exists. All you have is a tin foil hat.

                                  There's nothing to admit. There is lots of proof that vaccinations help people. There have been attempts to prove that they have risks. The CDC site that you love to quote, plainly states that any risk is so small, it cannot be proven. So, there's no proof that they cause harm, which is therefore proof that there is no known reason to believe that they do harm that outweighs the good they do. Therefore, only someone who ignores the evidence, would not vaccinate. There is no case of vaccination causing brain damage, definitively. No sane person would even suggest that a vaccination could cause autism.

                                      The debate has never been about which risk is greater. Several people, including the OP, have stated that vaccines cannot cause brain damage. I said they could.

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

                                        Well, I certainly am not about to trawl through this post again, but I am pretty sure that CG said that there was no chance that vaccination caused autism. I don't recall any claims that they do not cause brain damage because, rarely, they do - and this is acknowledged by Health Authorities. Since autism is identified solely from observed behaviours - there is no biological test - diagnosis is subjective. Not a sound basis for scientific analyses.

                                          He claimed both. He said it has been proven that autism cannot be caused by vaccinations and he also said brain damage cannot be. However, when I asked for proof he had none. So far, I have not seen any proof that they cannot cause autism.
