Vaccines are never considered to be the single cause
My son is on the spectrum because of prenatal brain damage inflicted by his birth mothers substance abuse
But anyone whose normal child suffered a severe vaccine reaction and never fully recovered - some left to suffer with autism-like behaviors ever after- will never be convinced there was no connection and it was all to coincidence
There are simply too many of us
Yes I say us because my previous son who already struggled most if his life suffered another setback after a vaccine reaction in his adolescence and lost a shining part of his personality within days
Mothers know these things
Luckily after 5 years he is making another recovery though we had adjusted to losing him and gaining a different kid
To all
Any medicine will have some small number of people it will kill, lame or do nothing for not even cure. Even simple aspirin has people who have problems with it. My late father was one. There is no “no risk” medicine or “no risk” anything. I know that doesn’t make anyone who is or has loved a loved one in the “problem category” feel any better. The question is the benefit and the numbers that benefit worth the cost to the others. The whole medical statistics methodology world that gives the information to do the risk management is horribly broken, maybe it never was what it claimed to be capable of (I am more or less in that camp now!) Nick Taleb’s books on the challenge quantifying risk and risk management are very much worth reading.
WOW! So sorry. God Bless You!!! And prayers up!!!
