These children can be in the insufferable position of excruciating gut pain while muted by the autism. One lady I knew was holding her son during one of his gut spasms. It was so bad that her son threw his head back and cracked her rib! Her son was literally starving to death because of his bowel disease. She had to go to a number of GI specialists to find one who would take her seriously about her son's gut issues.

I can't speak to the Wakefield case because I do not know enough about it. But I have to ask: In every vaccine there are adjuvents. These kick the immune system to react. Can that kick cause a reaction to other things besides the attenuated virus? Can it be causing the food allergies, asthma, breathing allergies and other immune problems? The only way to find out is to compare the unvaccinated against the vaccinated. That has never been done.

[@KommentarSpaltenKrieger]

First of all it must be noted that autism ins't a static category. Not only do the terms change (from pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger syndrome, low-functioning autism, high functioning autism etc. to Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD)), but definitions change also (which determine whether or not a diagnosis of autism is applicable). Sometimes the definitions stay the same, but the threshold changes (prior, maybe you had to have 3 out of 5 symptoms for a diagnosis and afterwards it might be 2 out of 5 or 4 out of 5). I am not saying with certainty that this (whether at all or alone) might explain a rise in the diagnosis of autism, but the way a psychiatric condition is understood isn't always the same and thus, there is a slight possibility, that nowadays, just more people are "applicable" for a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder than maybe 50 years ago. One also has to factor in the amount of psychiatrists working now vs. in the past, and whether or not mental health services have gotten more accessible recently.

@@StevenStGelais First off, "Opinion" doesn't necessarily mean "Fact"; something I learned in Elementary School. Second, Faith in finite-minded humans? Scientists are not gods, and to think otherwise is arrogance of the highest order! You can't glorify certain individuals in high society on such a level, because that will entrench in their sinful minds, making them prideful, and leads to tyranny. Such practice is not Science, It's paganism! It's cult-like! Science (I.E. Common Sense) is to admit that we as humans don't know everything, and we try to learn what we can in the world around us, logically. The Universe doesn't revolve around humanity, and any "Rules on how everything works" that we come up with. Do you realize that "Scientists" don't like the idea of Infinity? Like "Mass of a Black Hole" Infinity? Well then, when you talk about 3.1415 (Pi), as you write out all the decimals; at what point does that random bunch of numbers become 00000000 for the rest of time, thereby signifying an end of Pi? Scientists still don't know, even after millenia of studying that number. So, if we can't figure out all of Pi (Because we can't handle the concept of Infinity); how are we all-powerful, god-like beings, then? We are not! And therefore, what these scientists say on what must be true, or not true should always be taken with a grain of salt. That is Science! It's a very revolutionary field of study, because it (By nature) always uproots long-held traditions at any time. But, that is not always to be feared, as 200 years of Scientific advancements have given us so much in our world today. Still, to say that we must trust whatever people in labcoats say by their word is Anti-Science, Orwellian, and Peak Arrogance! That's it!

[@widddershins]

Thanks for the advice, Jennifer; it's almost a little better than "Google it." However, I feel that when someone claims there is scientific evidence of a particular fact, i.e., "Vaccines cause autism," it is incumbent upon them to cite the study by author, title, journal and date of publication, right there and then, rather than suggesting that other people research the topic on their own.

[@RyluRocky]

@G P This research has specifically only been done from the CHC reporting that the CDC had such evidence rather than showing direct studies conducted directly by themselves. They have been disowned from the scientific community, (when Marianne Williamson who's a part of the CHC was reported and later confirmed lying (www.factcheck.org/2019/08/williamson-misleads-on-childrens-health-vaccines/) about the results she recieved about the increased rate of chronic illness in children that take vaccines and it's possible link to autism.) I'd also like to note that the CHC was founded by an auttorney and still to this day isn't lead by a chemical analyst or doctor.) The CHC in their reports about the dangers of 5G (childrenshealthdefense.org/news/what-you-should-know-about-5g-satellites-how-musks-sci-fi-dreams-are-becoming-our-living-nightmare/) (which the founder has directly supported and approved) claimed the FDA made no studies concerning the dangers of 5G, and it's radiation (which I know is far from Ionized radiation, even humans emit radiation) which is false. (www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/is-5g-dangerous) The CHC is also skeptical about the government and it's motivation with vaccines which has no resarch on vaccines but is used to discredit all other sources of information outside the CHC which is fishy, it's fine if they find some findings as to sketchy stuff the government might be doing but all of their propos directly relates to vaccines. (arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/how-the-anti-vaccine-community-is-responding-to-covid-19/). Do you have any other links not releated to the CHC, that is hopefully lead by a doctor?

Perhaps it should have been called "The Homeland and Lilly Protection Act." Everyone in D.C., it seems, is utterly baffled as to how an ugly little provision shielding pharmaceutical behemoth Eli Lilly from billions in lawsuits filed by the parents of autistic children made its way, in the 12th hour, into, of all things, the 475-page Homeland Security bill.[1] "It's a mystery to us," shrugged Eli Lilly spokesman Rob Smith. It's a mystery to us, too, echoed spokesmen for the White House, the Department of Health and Human Services, and physician-turned-senator-turned-drug-company-shill Bill Frist, who had originally penned the Lilly-friendly provision for a different bill. The haphazard lawmaking also proved baffling for pharmaceutical industry lobbyists, and for White House budget director Mitch Daniels, a former Lilly executive, who made a very public show of disavowing any knowledge of the amendment's mystifying genesis.

And it's not what they were looking for. ~The study concluded that it would be a good idea to do further research on the safety of the mmr in a one size fits all vaccination programme to see if there were some children who had conditions that caused the mmr to be problematic for them ~The study suggested that continuing with single jabs until further research could be done might be worth looking into instead of withdrawing single jabs in the UK which were still available until 1998 ~This study was 20 years ago why does it not strike her as strange that they have nothing else...did vaccine science just stop in the 1990s! ~You can bet your life that 99% of people sharing this urban myth about Andy Wakefield have not read the study ~Here is the study...! www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(97)11096-0/fulltext

In fact, if they were a significant cause, the rates should be going down as rates of vaccination go down. 2. Parents do not understand, and scientists do not explain, the brain undergoes developmental changes after birth.

[@abracadabrascotty]

Geneva Philips at this point in the game the science is overwhelming in favor of vaccinations along with other corporate based medical interventions cause the vast majority of what is now called autism...it is on par with the evidence that alcohol causes drunkenness.... The evidence is based upon: 1. Pathology 2. Biochemistry 3. Applicable science 4. Theoretical science 5. Physics 6. Biology 7. Anatomy 8. Epidemiological studies 9. Logic 10. Reason 11. And lastly anecdotal evidence, observation, which last time I checked was not an isolated power of "trained professionals" In fact I would go as far out as to claim that trained professionals are inferior in this specific area of anecdotal evidence in relation to parents...for the sheer volume metric of observation time alone... I have ZERO preconceived biases in this arena. Except for a bias which tends to lean towards the weight of evidence....and the scales in this area are severely weighted towards correlation and causation in regards to vaccines CONTRIBUTING IN A MASSIVE WAY to the spectrum of symptoms we term autism.... And, on a side note, it should be noted that the social engineering profession who have to make "tough decisions" regarding society as a whole especially in regards to population growth and resource allocation have openly stated for over 40 years that it is urgent that governments find an economical effective humane way to reduce the population immediately....and it should also be noted that the group they created as a result of these social engineering studies are now completely running the day to day operations of the vaccine industry as a whole...so, to claim that there is a "conflict of interests there" between their study conclusion and their publicly stated goals in regards to vaccination would be pretty obvious to anyone working with critical thinking, reason, and logic...that point alone should give people pause in the same manner that the phrase eugenics should give people pause... Just something to think about folks, bc there does exist an extremely well funded group who dedicate their lives to this big picture of their philosophy of which only the fittest of the fittest survive....and I am NOT speaking of physical fitness, I am speaking of intellectual as well as economical fitness....and if u are not a member of the elite u are very likely termed "not fit to survive" this game u are within...if u are not aware of this, then u haven't studied the game well enough, and ur bloodline will likely perish due to a lack of knowledge...and nothing more... I think I heard that somewhere before...i wonder where I read that... If nothing else I implore u to understand who u are, and where u are...truly...and the rest will eventually come to u from this awareness....know the nature of the game u are within, and the movements of the pawns within it become increasingly easy to observe...there is nothing to fear, bc just as Einstein and Nikola Tesla accurately stated, u cannot die... So the game is on, are u gonna make the cut??? Ur friend, abracadabra

[@abracadabrascotty]

Geneva Philips and by the way in response to ur last comment, genetics do NOT CAUSE ANYTHING....that would be impossible...what they can do is accurately reflect and express their epigenetic environment and then make adjustments to the future cellular blueprint which gives that cell the best chance for survival within that environment...i mean let's assume that the cellular environment is determined to be of a toxic nature compared to the typical cellular environment, well since our genetic blueprints can be methylated etc to express certain on off functions of traits, that dynamic responsive blueprint system might very logically reallocate say social resources for protective ones...a simple logical binary decision based upon cellular input of environmental stressors...lets discuss one such stressor, mercury, which in ANY form is a known toxin...but the question would then logically be "well how much mercury would a typical vaccination schedule contain and could we place this into context with established science protocols"...of course we can, so let's show what our collective multi disciplinary labs and university based research departments have already concluded in this regard to mercury toxicity, and let's not forget that mercury has been shown, very clearly, to bioaccumulate (be stored within) some people who lack the ability to excrete it from their bodies due to lack of viable biochemical elimination pathways...soooo, the levels of mercury placed into context for anyone capable of critical thinking logic and reason follow: 1. Our drinking water systems: the scientific based regulatory bodies have determined that the acceptable safety limit for mercury in drinking water is 2 parts per billion...any more than this and the water is deemed "unsafe for human consumption" by our regulatory bodies 2. Toxic waste: the scientific based regulatory bodies have determined that the acceptable safety limit for mercury in waste is 200 parts per billion...any more than this and the waste is labeled as "Toxic Waste" per our scientific based regulatory agencies... 3. Vaccinations: multiple currently used vaccines contain 50,000 parts per billion of mercury.... Does that concern, anyone, here...do u see any problem, at all, with this picture...are u, completely fine, with someone injecting UR child with a substance which is being injected into ur child at a mg per kg dose rate which is deemed by the top scientists, who are trusted by the United States regulatory agencies in this field of safety research, as being 25,000 times the legal limit for being safe for human consumption....or them injecting directly nto ur child a substance which is more than 100 times the legal limit and deemed to be "Toxic waste"by the top scientists in the United States who our government relies upon for their regulatory safety limits of exposure to mercury in ANY form... Do u see, any, problem with this picture... Ur friend. Abracadabra

It is rare, but for certain vaccines it happens that some will get a mild outbreak of the disease one vaccinates against. This is inconvenient, but rarely a problem. The much larger problem is that vaccines will not give full protection in all cases, which means that a persons decision to not vaccinate will increase the risk of disease also for others, whether vaccinated or not. This should be given quite some weight when one discusses vaccination.

I already knew vaccines don’t cause autism because of the definition of autism which requires that autism is something your born with (aka: genetically predisposed to).

As well, it was declared by the presiding judge that the Lancet paper authored by the Wakefield and 12 other prestigious researchers, should be re-published and that the entire Wakefield case had been handled unjustly. Andrew Wakefield has also since been vindicated scientifically by 6 independent research teams from different countries, all having been able to replicate Wakefield's findings, showing he was RIGHT to suggest that more research into links between autism, MMR and IBS is needed. Andrew Wakefield, produced a profound film, VAXXED, which has supported a huge wake up movement around the world.
