The vaccine stuff is BS. Read the news. The guy who started this whole mess has been utterly discredited...his research was badly done, and unverifiable by the scientific method. He was completely biased in that he stood to profit immensely from the royalties paid to a patent he owned for a test which was tied to his report. He stood to make millions. And considering all the kids who died because they weren't vaccinated because their idiot parents listened to this guy, he LITERALLY has blood on his hands.
Autism is very likely genetic. We are not freaks of science and chemistry, which is precisely what this guy's research was alleging.
What it comes down to is that there is no correlation between vaccine usage and rates of autism. At one time thimerosol, a preservative in vaccines, was believed the cause. It's use has declined steeply, yet autism has continued to increase. Vaccine usage has plateaued, yet diagnosis of autism continues to rise. It's a false connection people make, that because B happens after A, A must have caused B.
People forget that with heightened awareness of autism, naturally there will be a spike, because cases previously unknown are now being detected. Simple as that.
This, too. I always giggle to myself when someone suggests vaccines cause Autism.
