Vaccines do not cause autism. There have been studies done and there isn't a correlation. If vaccines caused autism, how do you explain the millions of children who get them and are fine. Blaming autism on vaccines is just a way to make people feel more in control. Autism happens, and it sucks, but it shouldn't be blamed on a life-saving vaccine.

Please what else will they think of next. The fact is children are perfectly fine until they get shots. But we are supposed to believe thats not connected. So now Im supposed to give my daughter shots when doctors have given thier children shots and thier kids mysteriously came down with autism. How do I explain that to her when shes older like 40 and still living at home.
Well you could have gotten one of those diseases that were almost eraticated so I decided to give you 14 shots all at once and damage a part of your brain but your better off now at leaste yoou wont get one of those diseases.

Do you really think those money-making pahrmaceutical goofballs are going to change their pharm practises in order to save our children? Gosh, NO! That means they would have to admit to causing autism and then pay money to the families who have children suffering from the diseae as a result of the inoculations...the "man-made" disease!!! I pray to God that I am alive when this all comes to fruition...

Rain and autism. Vaccination and autism. Both are examples of spurious correlation. Worldwide autism rates are on the rise. In countries that do vaccinate and countries that don’t. On the rise in countries that have switched vaccination protocol and countries that haven’t.
Vaccines have never been a pharmaceutical money maker. Big pharms make their money on drugs that you must take every day to stay alive (e.g., heart medication, high blood pressure treatments, etc).
Studies, preformed by non-pharma funded sources, show populations receiving vaccines have no higher an autism rate than the control group not receiving the vaccine. The studies did reveal that the vaccines DO save lives. Be responsible. Keep your children save and have them vaccinated.

All these people covering up for the drug companys.
Autism was almost unheard of untill the greedy drug
manufacturs combined the measles, mumps and rubella into
one shot that was refered to as the three way..
it had a very short shelf life in order to correct the shelf life the drug companies bribed the FDA to allow them to add formaldhide and mercury to give the drug avery long shelf life.
Two very posionous chemicals...after that greedy crime
one out every one hundred and fifty births developed AUTISM
shortly after they were injected with that deadly mixture.
why did the drug manufactors agree to remove it from the 3 way shot??????naturally occuring is one in six thousand births.
with out the help of GREEDY DRUG COMPANYS....why don't you investigate from that stand point,,instead of some GOOFY
creature sayimg the rain caused autism..call me 205-407-6311
