		<description>1rise in the number of kids vaccinated &gt; autistic

off course when you have a bigger pool of kids, more number of kids are bound to be autistic. Back before vaccines are available, most of the autistic kids are just hidden in the basement, which is why you see a lot of them.

2 some kids are more vulnerable

off course some kids are more vulnerable but autism was there before the vaccines. Blaming the vaccines is easier than blaming god, or Jebus, or magic dust or Darwin or that night of lovemaking.</description>

		<description>Statistically speaking, the data regarding DPT-vaccinated infants is absolutely frightening. 

The death rate is eight times greater than normal within only three days of receiving a DPT shot.  The dreaded Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) clusters very strongly around the typical time frame of DPT shot administration.

DPT vaccinations are usually given at age's two months, four months, and six months. SIDS occurs mostly during the same time frame (85% from one to six months), with the largest incidence occurring at two and four months, in a bimodal fashion. This means that most of the SIDS cases actually cluster directly after the injections, and not in smooth fashion over the entire time period. One study showed that of 103 infants who died of SIDS, 70% had received the DPT vaccine within three weeks.

As of 1975, Japan began deferring pertussis vaccinations until two years of age. A significant drop in serious reactions to the vaccine (of which there are many, the worst of which is SIDS) was noted immediately. The United States has refused to be deterred by such data, however, and some DPT shots are administered here as early as six weeks of age. Often this earlier injection occurs only because it better meshes with the pediatrician's schedule for a ''well-baby'' check-up.

		<description>@uwe hayek: Wow, it's a two-in-one: HIV denialism AND anti-vax!

Jenny McCarthy didn't take her health into her hands, she took everyone else's, and she is putting them all in danger with her woo-woo.

We gave your arguements a fair hearing, and we determined that they were dead wrong. You are just spewing the same old pro-disease canards.

Joe Mercola is an out-and-out quack, and as far I can tell, he has more interest in lining his pockets than "curing" anyone.</description>
