Being autistic myself, I would just have to say it is a paranoid reaction leading to mass hysteria, and a unfortunate result is children dying. Stop blaming medicine and vaccinate your kid already.

There is as much evidence for vaccines causing autism as there is for GMOs causing health problems.

No. The only study that linked it to autism was discredited. It used a subject pool of TWELVE KIDS, contained FALSIFIED DATA, and is also tainted by the CONFLICT OF INTEREST in the principal author's (Andrew Wakefield) involvement in a lawsuit against manufacturers of the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine.

TLDR verson: it's a load of steaming shit that a self-serving asshole has used to make himself money, hurting tens of thousands of people in the process.

I thought it was the womb, but apparently it can be done with adults.

Which is fantastic news.

Article says 1% of people with autism.

A learning disability is not what autism is.

I don't know the answer to the question.

Sorry,my bad, misread one of their posts. Please, though, do keep it PG-13, for goodness sake.

Better than 0%. Obviously more severe cases can't be helped at this stage, so it would still require those who have it to either remain celibate or get a vasectomy to stop it spreading.

ADST World wrote:Is the learning disability known as autism caused by vaccines? Personally I don't think so. The scientific evidence is very much against it, and there are many stories of parents who avoided vaccines due to paranoia, but their children developed autism anyways.

Also, there are many autistic people out there who themselves admit that they think there is no correlation. These are people with firsthand experience of what it is like, and who also think that there is no link. Personally, due to the overwhelming evidence and witnesses in favour of there being no link, I suggest everybody go get vaccinated now.

This question has been answered, repeatedly and exhaustively. Repeating it just creates an illusion of legitimacy.

Wakefield was a fraud. Jenny McCarthy is an idiot. Vaccines save lives.

Yes, under some country's legal systems, it is a learning disability. Also, if it isn't, then what is it?

Not entirely true, there is slightly more evidence for health risks from unregulated GMOs.
