CM, I'd appreciate an answer to my question; are there autistic children who have not received vaccines?

Just FYI, when you quote a post, it generates a little arrow next to the poster's name in the quoted post. If you click the arrow, it takes you to that original post. You could have clicked what I quoted and found this without having to search at all.
Here is the original link to the multi-page article which refers to the findings in Sweden and Denmark. You're welcome. |

I thought he was joking about the link because he was the one that posted it first.

Took my kid in for some vaccinations today.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for signs of autism and report back. |

That is why I did not give you examples of inheritance!
Okay, the grey squirrel population increase was only in North America, but the other two examples were worldwide and coincident with autism increases. Why do you think vaccines are involved, but not carbon dioxide increases? Enough carbon dioxide can displace oxygen and cause brain damage in an enclosed room- are you sure the recent increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere might not be hurting venerable young children's brains? Or the world-wide increase in fructose corn sweetener since the 1970s (the children at risk have just begun to eat solid foods)? Or increased use of the GHz band of the radio spectrum? Of course my point is not to make you paranoid about these other changes, but simply that a lot has changed over the past decades worldwide. In fact, the studies cited elsewhere in this thread show that the one thing/body intrusion all these children with autism do NOT have in common are the vaccines. The studies show no change in autism risk plus or minus vaccines! Fight autism, not a straw man. (Sorry for the delay in my response- I don't post from work). |

Mini-Arisia has had all the vaccinations her doctor could give her, and she's made it to age 14 without a whiff of ASD. She has 9 cousins, all of whom have received all of their vaccinations (and so did their parents)... three of those 9 cousins are on the Autism spectrum... that they were born that way is the only explanation that makes sense to me.

CM, you keep following the red herrings. My research shows that worldwide, clowns are getting less common. If you invert the curve for the decline Guess what?! It matches exactly the curve for autism increase.
It is clear that clowns prevent autism. |

Please consider this a nitpick, but an important one. The notion that homeopathy is related to vaccination is not a valid one; vaccination doses are carefully calculated to be the best amount according to scientific tests. They do not rely on the speculation that "less is more," and they do not rely on the "law of similars."
And it can be clearly shown by tests that there is an active ingredient in vaccines. There is no active ingredient at all in most homeopathic solutions and an insufficient amount to have any measurable effect in others. Furthermore, no homeopathic solutions have been tested and found to work under the same controls as vaccines. In short, it is improper and misleading to compare the proven efficacy of vaccines to the discredited 19th Century speculation of a crank. |

I realize "tone" doesn't always come through adequately in a post, but if you re-read the context, and notice the quote marks around homeopathy, you will realize that I was indulging in a bit of whimsy. My apologizes for stirring you up; believe me, homeopathy is not one of my beliefs...

Her arm is still sore. Can this be a sign of autism? Also, she is playing Mario Kart and sucks really bad. She keeps hitting the wall. Before the shots she had never once hit the wall in that game. Autism? |

No, just your "arguments".
All of your attempts to argue against vaccination or the vaccination schedule have been completely refuted and requests to support your arguments or reply in any way have resulted in utter silence and you have been asked numerous questions, also met with silence. You know nothing about the subject. So all that's left is for us to mock you mercilessly. You deserve nothing better. |

The WORLDS medical community can't figure out what's causing autism to increase in children about 1 1/2 to 2 years old, about 3 times more instances boys than girls.
That same medical community says that vaccines, a common required series of medical inoculations, possibly oral, a treatment to all children from birth to 2 years old, could not be the cause. After about 20 to 40 years of investigation the WORLD'S medical community can't figure out what's causing autism to increase in children about 1 1/2 to 2 years old, about 3 times more instances boys than girls. |

The increase, if it is real, is in all children not ones of a particular age. The symptoms become more apparent after that age but the symptoms actually start prior to that. And I've yet to hear of any actually plausible mode of action that would cause any vaccine to induce Autism.

Has anyone else noticed a correlation between the rise in affordable canned pastas and the rise in Autism? I think I may be on to something here!
This is almost as shocking as the lack of new I Love Lucy episodes and the increase in drug arrests correlation I discovered. |
