Autism rates explode in Asia after introducing western vacci

Post Reply New Topic

There is no evidence that vaccines cause Autism. It is a conspiracy theory.

Like most conspiracy theories, many people become more convinced in their validity when people debunk them. That is one reason why, despite the fact that all of the empirical evidence refutes the vaccination idea, the conspiracy continues to have supporters.

Comments?

CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION

Causation could be just general advances in healthcare and awareness of diseases. Could be anything. The diagnosis rates are what exploded, not the incident (for lack of better word) rates from what I've read of that article.

Well, let's see.

In 2000, the population of Ho Chi Minh was 5.25 million. In 2008, it was 7 million.

That means there are an awful lot of young children about. 324 of them both needed medical treatment and are autistic? Surprisingly low.

As others have said, this is nothing to do with vaccinations, and everything to do with increased autism awareness. The rate of diagnosis is likely to continue to rise.

Correlation does not equal causation...also if people are born with autism, how is it vaccines you get later would somehow cause a disorder you are supposedly born with and don't develop. Also why doesn't everyone who's gotten a vaccine have autism.....what about other environmental factors? The ocean is getting quite polluted, a lot of people in asia eat a lot of seafood since its readily available....fish can have mercury...there are just too many different factors to say without a doubt...OMG the U.S is spreading autism with its vaccines, and where is the research to back up that any ingredient in the vaccines causes autism? I've heard the mercury theory but that is heavy metal poisoning...and it can cause brain damage on the outside it could look much like autism, and the lasting brain damage could look like autism but is there any evidence it actually causes the neurological difference. If there is a problem of mercury in vaccines obviously something needs done but the concern with that should be brain damage not the specific neurological condition autism that has not been proven to be caused by mercury.

Also that website looks a little questionable so not sure how reliable the articles are.

I think autism awareness is bad---it's causing the extinction of bees.

It's also causing global warming.

Extinction of bees? We have to worry more about the number of lawyers in North Carolina, they are driving people to suicide!

Well, you wouldn't like to say, "Honey, I'm home!" and not be understood, would you?

Who cares?! We'll get divorced soon, all thanks to the margarine!

I bloody knew it!

Butter plays an essential role in any successful marriage.

It's worse than that - people abandoning butter in Seattle cause divorces in... one of those places in Maine.

Is this divorce happening via Facebook? Europe is suffering thanks to your American marriage problems!

The majority of responses on this thread give me hope in humanity because they know this kind of fearmongering "pro-choice" vaccine nonsense "which gives more information" (like how increasing the choices on a multiple-choice test is more information) is exactly that - nonsense.
