Agree with many of the posters here. Not sure there is much merit to the study, but here's a hypothetical contributing factor


-Parent(s) refuses to vaccinate kid after hearing autism-vaccine reports. Kid later shows signs like no eye connect, parallel play etc. But parent(s) thinks kid couldn't possibly be autistic, because (s)he wasn't vaccinated. Kid is not brought for diagnosis, or an alternate diagnosis is sought. Repeat time and again.


that's just speculation.


what i don't get is why so many people are hell bent on forcing the issue? why not just let people choose instead of outlawing them from it or making them jump through a ridiculous number of hoops to do so?


google "herd immunity."

I just looked up the symptoms of mercury poisoning and noticed that I don't have any symptoms of mercury poisoning at all. With most conditions that I don't have, I have at least one symptom of. I don't have any for mercury poisoning at all.

It doesn't have to be the mercury, the preservative, it could be damage caused by the vaccine itsself. Also, "trigger" is not the same as "cause". I don't think that vaccines cause autism, but I do think that there is a legitimate case to be made for them being a trigger, along with a lot of other environmental factors.

Then it's probably up to you to avoid them.

So, what triggered autism before vaccines became widely available?

If you notice, what I said is that vaccines are a possible trigger, ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. Why anyone would not want to analyse something that could be harmful to the fullest extent possible and be cautious until it could be cleared of implication is beyond me. Autism is not the only condition that vaccines might cause. As a parent, grandparent, and concerned citizen, I would like to be as sure as possible that I am not ruling out a potential cause of harm to a child, in the guise of something that is supposed to protect them.

There is an awful long list of 'if's' in that 'environmental trigger theory. Perhaps more of them should be explored since the vaccine one has been beat to death already...

If only those other environmental factors were given as much attention. :roll:
But it won't happen... Because those are about environmental norms, and for 21th century (This century suck :evil: ) society the responsablity of all ill must come from the error of the individual, (So, those-who-got-so-perfect-life may look down to him) and if someone dare to say it may come from society and that society is not perfect then he's considered immature, irresponsable and clueless. It need to be so that the strong may crunch the weak without remorse.
I guess I may have passed the subject a little...

My parents said I would cry when picked up as infant and would not stop until they put me down. I am pretty sure I was acting autistic before recieving any vaccines. :roll:
