Damn. If I'd not had the vaccine, and survived MMR, I would probably be NT (if the vaccine DID cause my curse). :cry:


No, not in one case ever has a vaccine ever caused autism. Whoever is selling you that idea can screw off.


All you need to know whether someone is "selling" you something or not is to know that it is dumb to speak in absolutes. Humans are imperfect creatures, so when they say things like "never" and "always", you can be assured that they dont know what they are talking about. The rational thing to say is "we dont know everything, we are imperfect." And on that note, to admit that there may be unseen side effects to vaccines, and that yes, some of these side effects may be harmful and/or MAY cause autism.


I would swear on my own life, on my afterlife if it was mine to give, that VACCINES HAVE NEVER CAUSED AUTISM A SHOT CANNOT AND NEVER WILL REWIRE AN ENTIRE BRAIN


and you know this because? because some imperfect scientists told you so? ok. All i said was that speaking in absolutes is dumb! :roll:


Because it's personal.
It assumes my brain is damage.
It turns my brain, my entire life into a monster under the bed to scare young mothers out of protecting their children.



I did no such thing. Even so, getting angry at people will never solve anything. I simply said that we should speak on what we KNOW. and what we KNOW, for a fact, is that humans are imperfect creatures.

Who cares? Antivaxxer care nothing for logic or debate. THEY AREN'T WORTH IT. I rarely ever say that, but antivaxxers are screwed up and way to stuck in their own fantasies. I know for a fact no vaccine is going to rewire a brain because that makes all of no sense.
Antivaxxers need no Leniency . None. We aren't hiding under kids beds waiting to "Steal" their futures.

One side happens to have almost no one but dumb people, this isn't a matter of "Sides" or opinions. It's pretty dang cut and dry. I've never seen something so cut and dry! Don't try to make those things into a real thing.

I agree with Arganger 100% here. There is no way a vaccine could alter brain chemistry. I'd take both Autism and herd immunity to Measles and Polio and the like over neither any day.

Wallpaper in houses in the victorian age was "completely safe" on all accounts until people discovered that arsenic was deadly. Claiming that foreign substances absolutely will not alter brain chemistry is not smart. Saying that things COULD happen is smart.

By the way, here you go, here is an article that claims that heavy metals can cause genetic damage. See, I can find people saying the opposite thing too. But that STILL doesnt mean that even the people that wrote THIS article are right. We should be looking at all things and saying "yes, this is possible."

And yet anti vaxxers choose to speak in absolutes. Of course nothing is 100% safe. That's not an intelligent reason for not having vaccinations though. The intelligent approach is to find out which carries the greater risk,being or not being vaccinated. The idea that there are hordes of scientists purposely lying about the risks of vaccines is up there with the most paranoid and sensationalist conspiracy stories .

It is absolutely NOT intelligent to lie to people by telling them that there are NO possible risks associated with vaccines, thereby scaring the crud out of them, convincing them that you dont care about their children, and them then choosing to not go through with ANY vaccinations. pro-vaxxers are just as much to blame for this as the anti-vaxxers getting consumed by fear.

Pro-vaxxers are not at fault for anti-vaxxers choosing to not vaccinate their children -- it is the anti-vaxxers' choice, not the pro-vaxxers'.

I have to wonder why someone will take the phrase "A slight possibility of some small risk" and inflate it into "Absolutely, positively certain that this will harm your child" ... if only such people were as equally concerned about smoking and vaping.

People want pro vaxxers to admit that there could be more risks involved than what they are saying that there is. And because pro vaxxers will not admit to this simple thing, it puts a lot of anti vaxxers into a state of fear and almost shock. It is wrong behavior on both parts. Pro vaxxers should not be lying, and anti vaxxers should not let fear consume them. But these people that do this (the pro vaxxers) ARE accountable for creating a fearful environment that was created by lying to begin with.

Why? What makes the AV crowd think that there is more that is not being told? Do they also believe that there are space aliens at Area 51?

Who says they are lying? Do they have proof? And if they have proof, why not present it and "debunk" the PV crowd? Do they also think the government is lying about the Moon landing in 1969?

On only this one point do we agree.

Evidence, please? The now-debunked fake study by Andrew Jeremy Wakefield is what started it all.

In case you are wearing a tinfoil hat that has blocked the news for the last 25 or so years, Wakefield is a discredited former British doctor who authored a fraudulent research paper that claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and autism and bowel disease. He used made-up data and questionable methods. No reputable scientist has been able to replicate Wakefield's alleged results.

You are pushing the anti-vax agenda by placing blame on people who have nothing at all with the actions of one fraudulent ex-physician and countless bad parents who let their fear of autism drive their choice in favor of disease and death for their children.

It is not so innocuous. The main anti vaxx idea is not there is a possibility of risk in vaccinating people. The main idea is there is a conspiracy between government and big drug companies to poison children for profit. The fact the no peer reviewed studies have shown a link between Autism and vaccines means that these studies are part of a coverup. All people defending vaccines are either part of the coverup or gullable sheepie.

I made a few changes to what you said in order to clarify the position. Please forgive the presumption.

Anti-Vaxxers are a subset of Conspiracy Theorists, in that the less evidence they have to support their claims, the more they believe their claims are valid. To these nutters, any real evidence presented to support an opposing view to theirs is "obviously fake" and part of the conspiracy to hide what they believe to be "the real facts" -- they are more interested in being believed than in telling the truth. They also rely heavily on shifting the blame and/or the burden of proof from their side of the conflict to ours.

Conspiracy Theorists are fun to debate, but their lack of any factual basis for their arguments gives a seemingly unfair advantage to our side.

I'd hope not.
