Autism was extremely rare fifty years ago and now it is common. What has changed?

Your elitist attitude has no place on a scientific discipline.

You echo the histrionics of the liberals I engage.

Are you off your meds?

What does WTC7 and structural failure have to do with your COI?

My wife has a bun in the oven and it is gonna get Caesareaned in a month.

I am already wracked with worry. We’ve had several scares and several miscarriages, which really suck.

I should not be reading this type of content.

Content like this is why I stop and buy beer on the way home, and sometimes even those little fire whisky airplane bottles.

One of the great peculiarities of pregnancy can be called the “secondary immune system”. That is, a woman’s normal immune system is too efficient to permit pregnancy, so it is naturally suppressed by her body, and a temporary replacement system, one that will neither see the fetus as an infection or a cancer, takes over.

https://www.med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2017/09/immune-system-changes-during-pregnancy-are-precisely-timed.html

It is yet to be very well understood, but what is known is that the changeover to the secondary system and back can actually resolve some chronic health problems, yet may cause some new ones.

Do you also believe in AGW? After all 97% of ‘scientist’ agree it’s all our fault. I have an advanced degree in Biology and I was always taught that in science you never say always and you never say never. Obviously they don’t follow that dictum at fancy colleges in Massachusetts. I would say that if what this study says proves to be true then the idea of putting antigens in large doses into small children with still developing, fragile immune systems might be something requiring more research. I am not an anti vaccine person, but when I read the levels of vaccines that babies were exposes to today I was shocked.

Somehow I, both my siblings and most of my friends made it safely into our 60-70’s without ever being exposed to massive levels of vaccinations. Did we suffer through the mumps, chicken pox and measles when we were young, yes, but we all survived, as did our classmates, and developed natural immunity to boot. Could it be that this push for ever increasing levels of vaccination is just a way for big Pharma to develop an nice, steady income stream? Not accusing just asking?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You name it. So many differences in child-rearing philosophies and actions that it’s difficult to call it child-rearing anymore.

Radical changes in diet also have happened with all of the parent permissiveness.

Not only that, but the tendency to over-diagnose certain conditions creates a syndrome-du-jour.

So before we start blaming things on vaccines and other biochemical hodgepodges, we should look at more prevalent and more severe changes in the neo-Marxist attempts to destroy the family.

Stop worrying. You have a child on the way. They need a brave strong dad

Instead of drinking take a walk with your wife. Enjoy the peace and quiet. It will change

If you cannot elaborate on your gibberish, I must conclude that you are either mentally -challenged or a vaccine sycophant.

So you need to be told when you are being ignored?

And you came back to it in order to show it to everyone

“What is your problem?”

Now you want sympathy? Clearly you had nothing to contribute prior; go away now.

You are the one who had nothing to contribute

You have tried to pick fights with several posters. You did not address the research sites in the article. You have spent many posts calling people all sorts of names. Hence my question.

Don’t bother replying I am done with you

No, I have spent posts deflecting liberal-like attacks and the only name called was in your direction in response to your own bombastic rhetoric. Reading comprehension is a problem among affected libs; you seem conflicted...seek help.
