doctors, governments and Big Pharma all are in deep doodoo if the truth came out so they keep the lie going. the wouldn’t survive the avalanche of lawsuits and public anger which followed admission of guilt.

Vaccines in fact do cause autism. Looks at the drug companies own studies. Look at the lawsuits which were paid out. It is a fact no matter how much you drug company bloggers try to fool the public.

I don’t believe vaccines are the cause and only source of Autism… but I do believe there is a definite link between vaccines containing thimerosal and autism. Do you honetly think because doctors don’t back up the theory it means it isn’t possibly true? Did it ever occur to you that there is a much larger cover up than we could even imagine. Read this intriguing article by Robert F Kennedy Jr… and then tell me there isn’t a cover of between the Pharm companies and the government. Becky and Pat.. I agree with you a well on your statements!

The reason the vaccine debate isn’t closed is not because those who suspect vaccines are crazy. It’s because there has not been a single study done that illustrates that non-vaccinated kids have the same rates of autism as vaccinated kids. Nor have there been any studies looking at the overall vaccine schedule. NOT A SINGLE STUDY.

So while there have been dozens of studies on individual vaccine safety, and on individual ingredients… that is very different from there being a study on the whole vaccine schedule.

For example - try this thought experiment on for size. In the 1970’s you receive about 10 shots before kindergarten. Right now there are 36 shots we give kids. Now…consider this…. what if we upped it to 100 shots for the year 2010? And then let’s say in 2011, 2012 we noticed a dramatic increase in the number of children with neurological disorders. Would it really be crazy to suspect the fact that we 3x’d the number of vaccines?

Now…let’s say the ONLY studies the FDA and the CDC did on vaccine safety were on each individual vaccine’s safety - they did not do a single study to see if collectively adding 200 shots to the schedule had any overall affect on a child’s development. They claim the schedule is “perfectly safe” because they tested each shot individually.

Would you really say that it’s “unscientific” to challenge the safety of a vaccine schedule that includes 100 shots- just because the FDA tested each shot individually?

To me that’s like concluding that drinking does not impair driving ability because “we studied the effect of one beer on the system and found it does not impair a person’s driving ability.”

It would be different if in their pile of scientific studies they included many studies on the overall safety of the vaccine schedule… but the fact is - and you can verify this - NO such studies exist right now. They have not looked at it. And that’s what’s scary to those who are skeptical of vaccinations.

I’ve seen several very good studies indicating a correlation between age of father at child’s birth and autism risk. These come from Israel, the UK, Japan… What I want to know is why the media doesn’t cover these adequately? Is it some sort of fear of the autism community, a weird patriarchal taboo, disinterest, disbelief…what? Is it a fear of throwback to the old days when the mother was blamed for autism? Whatever it is, I just don’t understand why the best documented and most plausible explanation for the rising rates is left almost untouched by both the media and the autism community?
