BS.
There are no long term double blind studies of vaccines.
Educate before you vaccinate!
Marking for later...
BS. We are living it with our 2 1/2 year old. It isn’t only the MMR by the way. 9 month MMR and was a different kid the next day. 18 month MMR plus flu shot and he was over the edge and onto the Autism spectrum. Unless you walk a mile in our shoes then I suggest you should probably keep all of the “science” nonsense to yourself. There is a lot of money at stake. The issue isn’t public health. As usual, follow the money.

Find another way to preserve the vaccine than using mercury.
There is no reason to be injecting babies with a known nerve toxin.
Not only mercury but aluminum, monkey dna, fetal cells, and so on. It’s some nasty stuff.
Exactly.

Thimerosal (sp?), the mercury containing preservative hasn't been used in more than 5 years in any vaccine.
I’m sorry to hear about your tragic situation. Have you looked into alternative therapies for detox?
Thankfully I researched the vaccine issue in depth before deciding against the shots for my children a few years ago. It was a tough call because of my inlaws’ pediatric background. Thank God we held firm.
Does anyone believe in science here? Anyone?
Autism sets around the same time vaccines are administered. That does not mean the vaccines cause autism. People who neglect to give their children vaccinations are putting their children at risk and should be ashamed of their selfish behavior. I for one am glad we don’t live in a world where children die from measles mumps and rubella and we must thank the vaccine for this.
There have been numerous studies that prove no statistical significant relationship between autism and MMR.
One study below:
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/347/19/1477
“Results Of the 537,303 children in the cohort (representing 2,129,864 person-years), 440,655 (82.0 percent) had received the MMR vaccine. We identified 316 children with a diagnosis of autistic disorder and 422 with a diagnosis of other autistic-spectrum disorders. After adjustment for potential confounders, the relative risk of autistic disorder in the group of vaccinated children, as compared with the unvaccinated group, was 0.92 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.68 to 1.24), and the relative risk of another autistic-spectrum disorder was 0.83 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.65 to 1.07). There was no association between the age at the time of vaccination, the time since vaccination, or the date of vaccination and the development of autistic disorder.”
yes, we are on the right roads to recovery. Thanks for the support.
Ignorant statements. You must be a member of the American Pediatric Society who doesn’t want to get sued. I also suspect that your family has not been affected. Good for you.
According to the FDA it's still in the flu shot. And several other vaccines have reduced amounts or trace amounts of it.
Boiled down, the city of Yokohama stopped vaccinating in 1993 but the autism rates kept rising in the unvaccinated children. Something is increasing the rate of autism, but it isn't vaccines.
“Something is increasing the rate of autism, but it isn’t vaccines.”
It’s not JUST vaccines. I don’t know about Yokohama, but here in the US, non-vaccinating populations such as Amish and to a large degree homeschoolers have much lower (Amish is zero) autism rates.
And it’s not just autism. There are a whole host of serious medical conditions linked to vaccination.
Educate before you vaccinate!
Out of curiosity, what did you try? Chelation? Did you make dietary modifications (eg. low gluten, low dairy)?
My heart goes out to you. I feel like you are right. The main reason no connection will ever be found it that it would probably pretty much bankrupt the drug companies that produce the vaccine and put doctors at risk of malpractice lawsuits.
Yes I believe in science and I firmly believed in vaccinating my children and now my grandchildren.
