Do you think vaccines are related to autism?

Yes. So many more cases, so many more vaccinations – it can’t just be coincidence.

• really Martha, most studied area of medicine huh? Can you show me a single study on the culmulative effect of 24+ vaccines on an infants immature immune system? or a study on the safety of administering vaccines according to the CDC childhood vaccination schedule? How about a study on the toxico …

• yes, by all means do your own research... you may learn that that the CDC childhood vaccine schedule has never been safety tested the US govenment has paid out millions in vaccine injury cases the threat of infectious diseases like polio and measles are grossly exaggerated by the CDC An unvacci …

• What's nonsense? The fact that vaccine industry is very profitable? or that drug companies provided funding to the AAP and ECBT? Financial COIs? Please be specific. Research this for yourself...here are three market reports online: "A Shot in the Wallet" (Drug Discovery and Development) "Global V …

• The Future of Global Vaccines - Market Forecasts to 2016 The global vaccines industry was valued at $24 billion in 2009 and is expected to reach $52 billion in 2016 at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. Source: http://www.asdreports.com/shopexd.asp?id=4040

• You're reading much more into this than what I said ... I never mentioned thimerosal.

• Mums ejected from the GMC Dr Wakefield Witch-hunt Trial Speak out   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeDAKz6fJiA

• I do both... my son gets full therapy in school and privately. I recently started him on a new treatment protocol...he is priority number one but I also advocate for more research specifically on vaccines, immune dysfunction and autism That said, I feel for the sake of new parents, that this madne …

• According to Dr. Thomas Insel, Director of NIH,: "Scientists are looking for genetic and environmental causes across the autism spectrum. In the past 2 years, genetic research has proven especially informative, as more than 50 variations in the genome, alone or in combination, have been linked to …

• 1 in 70 boys now have the dx. In the 1960's in 1970's, autism was much more rare unlike today. Many of these kids dxed "autistic" today are neurologically impaired.

• no adverse reaction vs adverse reaction? let me rephrase it then: I'll risk getting a recoverable disease over having a potential serious adverse reaction resulting in a disability anyday (is that better?) .. ? if not, oh well I tried. Is that your only take away from my post? the part that related  …

• "They trust the CDC when they read the VIS handouts." bad move...

• well I guess that settles it .. silly me for listening to the 1 in 70 parents who had a very different outcome after their child got the MMR and other shots.. must be a coincidence.. and I guess these scientists are wrong too [Autistic syndrome (Kanner) and vaccination against smallpox (author's tra …

• I have to laugh at the lying comment so, do you think then it's perfectly okay for people, scientist no less, to cheat on opinion polls ... tampering with polls is cutthroat, dishonest not to mention pathetic .. there are your liars. If you are a scientist and advocate science based evidence what d …

• Sailmaven Another way to look at it is researchers have recognized since 1976 that vaccines have a starter function for the onset of autism, yet, despite knowing this, they issue public denials and still push aggressive vaccination schedule on vulnerable children. They knew this 34 years ago.. Th …

• well said.. my son's "autism" is not genetic either.. we had a full chromosomal microarray DNA analysis done.

• maybe people wouldn't be against vaccines (most who you accuse are not they favor a safe, reasonable schedule) if it were not for the fact that their children were injured due to a badly administered vaccine program. Maybe their trust in the system is just a wee bit damaged.

• That makes about as much sense as saying if peanuts cause allergies then all kids would be allergic to peanuts... obviously that's not the case.  Variation in immune response is the reason why some but not all kids have autism.
